  Anti-discrimination used to stand for something we needed, that is to stop discrimination and ensure people has equal access. But when that is achieved, like all those with power, these DEI folks instead push the goals forward and make up news criteria to make sure they are still relevant. It is all easy enough, anyone speaking up against them get absolutely destroyed socially and professionally. So they keep pushing until we are here, in a place where the original intents is all but corrupted and the oppressed has become a symbol of oppression. Meanwhile, there are places where these oppressed minority actually need help but helping them is harder and less profitable than sitting in a nice and secure DEI job in CA...

    Frank Herbert explained this decades ago (in an article that also rose on HN) https://emmaconcepts.net/dune-genesis/ https://emmaconcepts.net/dune-genesis/ (Tldr: power attracts the insane, systems are run by fallible humans)

  I actually think it somewhat proves the opposite. It's clear they've tacked on a "make images of a diverse set of people" in the setup prompt, rather than baking diversity in properly and with more nuance. Tbh, I think I'd rather have diverse founding fathers by default (obvious problem, fixable by changing your prompt), than DALL-E's current default, which seems to just draw all white people. (I just requested a few images of doctors, nurses and patients, and an elven council - every last person of the 103 it drew was white).
