I too believe we should eliminate satire and humor to appeal to puritans clutching their pearls. Which lucky for us, is the position of OpenAI — who will tell members of a minority community how best to express themselves according to the sensibilities of a small, privileged group of software engineers. Anyone who says that is modern colonialism from an insular community forcing themselves on the broader public is just a hater! /s

I two believe that the only people concerned about AIs spouting out massive racist rants, or telling people ho to kill themselves are best classified as 'puritans clutching their pearls.' - oh, and an /s for you.

  The extent the censorship for the extreme scenarios you outlined above ends up completely stifling its responses for swaths of other topics.

  The joke about not kneeling 5 times a day because of a wheelchair was not a massive racist rant. There are no examples of early GPT-4 going on massive racist rants. I often wonder what drives hyperbolic/hyperventilating responses like yours. And sadly in OpenAI's drive to appease people like you by its super puritan alignment, GPT-4's math and science scores were significantly reduced.

Auto-colonialism is more accurate. https://cocktailcalendar.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/manhattan1.jpg https://cocktailcalendar.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/manhatt... That's a nice capsule image. We could put a "ChatLLM" on the box and swap the Crucifix with something more ideologically current.

I've seen two pictures of OpenAI annual retreats (something like that.) They're group photos of about two hundred people: employees of OpenAI and their friends and relatives. There are no black people in the photos. I'm just sayin'.

  There are headshots of employees on OpenAI's website which include black people.

    Well, I just looked and all I could find were images that look like stock photos. There was one black woman in one of the images. Maybe you would be kind enough to link to what you're talking about? (In case it's not clear, I hope you're right, it would be (IMO) a good thing.)
