Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

  The bias is really towards recency, because LLMs are mostly trained on text scraped from the internet. If you incorporated older content, the bias would be much less liberal. It'd be interesting to train one on only pre-1950 content.

    So all those WPA documents and inter war pan socialist unity texts, and the Fabians like Sydney and Beartrice Webb...

      But reality isn't biased towards the radical ideas of its time. Overton Window and all..

  One of my least favourite quotes! Reality has no political opinion and there is no ground-truth about if left or right is 'real'. I'm left-leaning, but hate the quote just because it dismisses conservatism (which is a legitimately held opinion which is just as valid as liberalism).

    > no ground-truth about if left or right is 'real'. The quote about reality having a liberal bias is a joke about how republicans lie a lot and then claim that the courts or the news (or everything, really) has a “bias” against them. Here is an example for you. Title mentions “brazen corruption” and reading the article they are complaining about… the FBI raiding mar-a-lago to retrieve stolen nuclear documents.
