When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the National Endowment for the Humanities
- WarOnPrivacy 7mo agohttps://archive.fo/9kCcq https://archive.fo/9kCcq instead of looking closely at funded projects, they pulled short summaries off the internet and fed them into the A.I. chatbot. The prompt was simple: "Does the following relate at all to D.E.I.? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’" The results were sweeping, and sometimes bizarre.

- lovich 7mo agoReading through the examples they don’t seem “bizarre” in that the people I’ve met who claim to hate wokeness would have agreed with all of these being examples of DEI. They really want to get rid of everything beyond what they consider the default human experience although getting them to agree on that would go about as well as getting them agree on the right kind of Christian.

The term they've been using for the "right" kind of person is "Heritage American", allegedly meaning people whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That apparently does not include people whose ancestors came to the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge. I would not be surprised if the "right" kind of Christian ends up being the one that believes the Prosperity Gospel.

- nxobject 7mo agoI think you’re right… Catholicism is too global in outlook these days.
- lovich 7mo agoThere is no "right" kind. If you asked them to confirm the "right" kind theyd fall to infighting. That was the analogy I was comparing to with the "default human experience"
- RunningDroid 7mo agoAgreed, if you talk to members of a random sect then other sects range from explicitly heretical* to simply historically‡ or structurally wrong. And that's not including the political views of various sects§. *: Mormons & Jehovah's Witnesses from the perspective of sects that follow the Niecene creed ‡: United Methodists from the perspective of Free Methodists §: Unitarian Universalists are left-aligned, the Southern Baptist Convention is right-aligned
