- mvelbaum 3y agoAI "safety" researcher -> red flag
- 29athrowaway 3y agoMaybe we should have a "political analyst" analyze everything for you before and after each video clip featuring an event.
- BuyMyBitcoins 3y agoUsing the term “political analyst” is too overt. If I were them I would use “trust, safety, and well-being analyst” instead.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoThe author for the book "this title confirms the perspective of the news station".
- didntcheck 3y agoThe widespread use of "trust and safety" as the term for moderation teams always surprises me. It's such a laughably transparent form of spin that I'd call it Orweillan if it weren't just so pitiful. It's like when an HR department renames themselves to something stupid like the "Teammate Advocates", and you can't help but feel sorry for whoever thought it would do anything but make people laugh at them
- s-lambert 3y agoAt least it isn't as lame as Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations, pretending like being a moderator makes you a superhero.

- Kerb_ 3y agoIf we're pushing goalposts, let's ban pencils and keyboards for that exact reason. Running local language models at least require a few hundred bucks more in startup costs and far more electricity than a word document or a notebook. In fact, we might as well promote illiteracy to prevent people from being able to read harmful content altogether.
- ethanbond 3y ago“The technology is transformative when good, pretty much equivalent to pencils when bad!”
- Kerb_ 3y agoI would also consider mass literacy and the means to store information, such as pencils and digital documents, to be transformative on their own.
- thelastparadise 3y agoPapyrus, and later the printing press, were absolutely positive, socially-revolutionary technologies.
- aaomidi 3y agoI don’t really agree with filtering the LLMs but your view is a strawman here. The risk isn’t the content, it’s the scale at which the content can be produced and personalized. For example, this makes it extremely easy for a well funded extremist group to start interacting with people on social media through an LLM slowly convincing them that we should imprison all ${something}. Over a few years you’ll potentially see that movement become legitimized and mainstream. That risk isn’t something you’re going to be able to mitigate by hoping every LLM is filtered. But it is a risk our society now needs to grapple with though.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> Maybe we should ban history books too that describe Jim Crow era actions. Several states already are, at least if it is accurate descriptions.
