Here's some more Nazi rhetoric for you: 1. I believe that there are many more racist right-wing people than left-wing people, both in the US and outside, even when excluding the far-right. 2. I believe there is a significant problem wi

You are misrepresenting my points. I don't believe the left hates whites. Where did you get that from? When I was referring to the clown world stuff, I was talking about the extreme side of the left (which I'm assuming is where

I meant that if you say "there's no way to avoid the bias", it sounds like you're basically admitting defeat and not even trying to reduce bias. I don't think we can achieve 0% bias, I agree with you on that. But I

I think (and hope) that you are correct. But I also think that, even though what you said can be true, that there has also been an increase in how these political positions are becoming more extreme (both on the left and on the right!) and

I think all of your points are valid. But I still think we should make an effort and strive to solve these problems. I don't think this is being done with ChatGPT, for example. But also, note that an AI doesn't have to be in compl

I think what you're saying makes sense. I was not aware of the full breadth of negativity associated with the term "woke". I think I will start using the term "progressive politics" from now on (at least, as long as

Or, rather than posting non-sense, you could learn about what "woke" usually means in this context, which I can quote for you [1]: "shorthand for American Left ideas involving identity politics and social justice" "

Fortunately, I think "reality" in this context doesn't have the same meaning as "the physical universe". I think the important goal is for as many people as possible to feel like the AI isn't being too biased a

Ok, so I guess Hacker News has decided that data can only be 100% biased or 0% unbiased, but nothing in-between. Yes, almost all data is biased... of course. Some data is 100% biased. Some data is 1% biased. How about we try to collect data
