The right as a political machine didn’t bat an eye when democratic government officials were assassinated. They also have completely ignored the facts of just about everything and inserted their own ideology or fantasy about what’s true and what’s not. What do you think “shouting from the rooftops” is going to accomplish here? This same nonsense has repeated itself multiple times with the attempted Trump assassinations and with other figures on the right. 99 times out of 100 it’s a young straight white conservative male behind shootings, yet there is never introspection on this issue. I cannot imagine this will change the minds of any significant number of those on the right. As Kirk himself said, this is the price of business.

This is just one of the many far reaching effects of the disinformation age we are headed into. It would not surprise me if, in the future (assuming humanity survives our climate crisis), this period of time will be contrasted with the middle ages as periods of great loss of human knowledge.

For what it’s worth, a lot of what the article is bringing up isn’t particularly new. Fake studies are nothing new, but the scope of them will definitely increase. While it is manpower intensive, this is easily solved by peer review. In fact, perhaps ironically, AI could be used to do a first-pass review before and summarize what seems like it was AI created versus human created and send that along to a human.

Corporation funded studies designed to get around regulation or to promote their product, on the other hand, is something we’ve been dealing with for quite some time and an issue we haven’t really solved as a society. Anyone who works in science knows how to spot these from a mile away because they’re nearly always published in tiny journals (low citation score) which either don’t do peer review or have shady guidelines. The richer companies have the money to simply run 40 or 50 studies concurrently and toss the data from every one that doesn’t have the outcome they’re looking for (in essence repeatedly rolling a d20 until they get a 20) which allows them to get their findings into a bigger journal because it’s all done above board. Some larger publishing journals have created guidelines to try and fight this, but ultimately you need meta-analyses and other researchers to disprove what’s going on, and that’s fairly costly.

Also, as an aside- this belongs in the science community more than tech in my opinion.

I’m fairly certain that this is what’s being cited. The journalism, unfortunately, is quite poor and it’s hard to confirm precisely what article she was referring to.

hey there, removing this because its not a gaming article, feel free to repost it in a more appropriate community

Disgusting typical techbro behavior, I hate it.

wild they managed to keep it under wraps for so long given its so soon

Sept 4 like, 2 weeks from now? or 1 year and 2 weeks lol

The president really made an executive order about preventing woke AI? Humanity is cooked fam

That’s going to take some research and a rewrite to get it looking like those it was trained to match. You need to be adding synonyms and dependencies because the AIs lack any model of how we actually do IT, they only see correlations between words.

Very simple solution: ask AI to rewrite your resume for specific job applications or fields.

FYI this was already posted to technology, here.

Having seen how so many average people are using AI, I’m sadly not surprised that people are just going with whatever is up there, even when it is wrong.

Hey fam, this post is racking up reports. If you’re serious about resisting a fascist government, the opsec of posting about it openly online is quite poor. I would highly suggest looking into local groups. Show up at protests and talk to people. I guarantee you that the community you are looking for is out there, but here is not where you’ll find it. Furthermore, instigating the way you are isn’t healthy for this community. You’re welcome to tell people they can and should resist. You should not, however, be telling people to die.

The difference is that Camacho is a himbo, our current president is more of a bridge troll

It’s almost entirely medically irrelevant, and the times in which it becomes medically relevant you need to go to a doctor to manage the transition and they can explain to you the times where you need to disclose it (practically never).

It really isn’t hidden lol. But you will get countless LLM defenders online who claim you can eliminate the bias with prompting or other hacks which don’t address the underlying issue or do anything but patch a broken system. To fix LLM bias you need to systematically correct, and very few folks have bothered to try and design methods to systematically correct. In the case of Grok, it’s actually explicitly designed to reference Musk’s bigoted musings on subjects first before examining other information.

While you are correct, and the author deserves to be called out on their behavior, the context of the entire article is around how they are struggling with being bombarded with things taking up their attention and time. This response is seriously lacking in any compassion for the author’s struggle and more or less ignores the entire point of the article in order. Beehaw isn’t the place for one-liner gotchas. Please try to engage with the content if you’re going to comment.

Eh frankly I just see us moving to more strict reputation based systems - someone has to vouch for you.

So how is an AI prompt poking for Holocaust denial different than a Google search looking for Holocaust denial?

Because one is something you have to actively search for. The other is shoved in your face, by a figure that many feel is one who has some authority.

Why are you defending anything about this situation? This is not a thread to discuss how LLMs work in detail, this is a thread about accountability, consequences, hate, and society.

Definitely something I’ve observed even here. Luckily we get few applications and there is a report button, but I share the author’s frustration and the author’s jaded view of a limited timeline on services such as ours being tenable. Eventually it will be trivially easy to flood this place with slop.

314m what a joke! Still, good to see them lose this court case
