THANK YOU. These are literally word-prediction machines. What they "think" is whatever probablistically follows from the training corpus, and then your input.

THANK YOU. These are literally word-prediction machines. What they "think" is whatever probablistically follows from the training corpus, and then your input.
If your model wasn't trained on tons of text about how great eugenics is, then it learns that words expressing positive sentiment in the context of eugenics are extremely low probability.
This is also the "cause" of "woke" models: it turns out that the majority of us recognize that being an asshole is bad, and this is reflected in the majority of the training corpus, which comes from us collectively.

They had to plug it. Why? Also see above, they are word prediction machines similarly to how humans are word prediction machines.
- xigoi 3y ago> it turns out that the majority of us recognize that being an asshole is bad …but we disagree about what “being an asshole” looks like. Reasonable people think hating people for their sex/race is bad, no matter which one it is.

- master-lincoln 3y agoThis was probably when these words had their original meaning: censorship is something only a state actor can do and is not about companies having rules about what is published on their platforms. Discrimination is when people are treated differently because of attributes they had no influence in (age, sex, origin, skin color,...) and not about excluding people with attitudes you don't like.

- master-lincoln 3y ago> So why are wokeists constantly complaining about what companies allow on their platforms? I don't know, but maybe because they want to make sure minorities are being treated fairly, so they advocate for removing language they think is insulting people or belittling them. Again, this has nothing to do with censorship. > Yes, so why would that exclude men or white people? It wouldn't
- jojobas 3y agoCensorship is when one person has something to say, another wants to hear that, and something else is in the way. Discrimination is what you said with no exceptions for overrepresentation.
