Microsoft had Tay. Google Gemini had “Black George Washington”.
I think that pinning your entire view of a model forever on a single incident is not a reasonable approach, but you do you.
- otterley 1y agoIt's not just the model, it's Elon Musk's view of the world and business in general. Neither Microsoft nor Google nor their leadership--though admittedly imperfect--make it a habit of trolling people, openly embroiling themselves in politics, and committing blatant legal and societal transgressions. You reap what you sow; and if you live for controversy, you can't expect people not to want to do business with you.

- otterley 1y agoDerangement suggests a complete lack of factual and reasoning capability. Do you honestly think we're unaware of the facts and circumstances that support our judgment?

- elcritch 1y agoYes, unfortunately. Even liberal commentators like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher have said the obsession with Trump was overblown and even dangerous in its own right.
- otterley 1y agoThe fact that some people grossly exaggerate a person's evilness (or goodness) doesn't mean that person isn't evil (or good).
- bigyabai 1y agoCiting Jon Stewart and Bill Maher as "liberal commentators" is like calling Alex Jones and Joe Rogan conservative commentators. Those people will say anything that their audience responds to, what are the actual political scientists on both sides of the aisle saying?

- epa 1y agoWhat about promoting renewable energy, space exploration, frontier physics and advanced engineering makes you concerned?
- badsectoracula 1y agoDonating to orphanages after committing a genocide resets your karma only in videogames.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoWhat genocide did Musk commit?
- otterley 1y agoI think they were making a (poor) analogy, not literally accusing Musk of committing genocide.
- badsectoracula 1y agoWell, i can't think of a better analogy to say that you can't offset doing bad things by doing good things. The karma system some games use (e.g. Fallout 3 where you can nuke an entire city that puts your karma in negatives and then give fresh water to beggars to reset your karma) was what i was reminded of.
- badsectoracula 1y agoMusk didn't commit any genocide (that i'm aware of) but that wasn't what i wrote. The point of my comment is that you can't offset doing -what some people perceive as- bad things by doing -what some people perceive as- good things later.

- AbraKdabra 1y agoHuh? You answered the wrong post I think, I asked who did a nazi salute.
- elAhmo 1y agoMusk at the inauguration. It was quite heavily in the media, so somewhat impossible to miss.
