Worldwide centrist and conservative groups account for 60%+ of the population. The training data bias is due to the traditional structure of Internet media which reflects the underlying population very poorly. See also for example recent USAID gutting and reasons behind it.

A very politically motivated act does not prove anything about the “traditional structure of Internet media which reflects the underlying population very poorly”.

- LeafItAlone 2y agoAh, yes, the often used, peer-reviewed, expert-backed source of just listing random things. Thank you.
- nwienert 2y agoIf you were looking for truth you wouldn’t reply like this. I’m not going to do an hour of work to carefully cite this for you, but it’s true nonetheless.
- LeafItAlone 2y agoIt is yours to provide evidence of your claims, not mine. >If you were looking for truth Except, with this, I don’t expect you to.
- nwienert 2y ago> It is yours to provide evidence of your claims, not mine. This is a common weird mistake people make on HN - I'm not publishing a paper so, no I don't. Really there's minimal rules of engagement here. You could say you think I'm wrong, which I'd be curious to hear why. It's more productive to first discuss things casually, and then if there's specific disagreements to dig in. If you disagree with my statement, please tell me which countries you think specifically I'm more likely wrong about. You don't need to cite anything, either do I. If we actually do disagree, then we can go off and do our own research, or if we're really motivated bring it back here. But there's no burden for anything, and it's actually better in many cases to first chat before we dig in and try and out-cite each other.
- LeafItAlone 2y agoYou have now spent three comments without any support for your claim. This is not a real-time conversation where casual discussion allows for quick examination of statements. Your time would have been better spent providing a link. I don’t think that this thread is worth any more spent energy from either of us.
- nwienert 2y agoAgreed. All my comments moved things forward, I didn't get that back from you.
- LeafItAlone 2y ago>All my comments moved things forward Oh, I guess I missed those comments and only read those which were replied to mine.
- ckrapu 2y agoYou're conflating culture war issues with ideology. For most of the world, left and right are economic axes despite the American corporate media's attempts to convince you that the 0.1% of crossdressers are more important than making sure you and your family get a fair wage and clean air.
- nwienert 2y agoWe’re talking about LLM bias (economic is far less relevant) on a largely American forum in context of USAID, I’m not conflating really more than you’re steering things to some odd different ground.
- spoll 2y agoPresumably you could also argue that 60 plus percent is made up by centrist and leftist groups, centrism being what it is.
