Of course. It’s an analogy. It is like someone who means well. It generates text from the default perspective, which is white guy with a bunch of effort to make it more diverse with a similar end result. The responses might sound woke but take a closer look and you’ll find the underlying bias.


Has nothing to do with guilt-complex. Why would I feel guilty for being privileged? I feel fortunate, and obliged to remain aware of that.

Treating AI like a “program,” however, is a pretty useless lead in to what you really posted to say.


I think researchers are trying to make AI models more aware, but they are trained on a whole lot of human history, and that is going to be predominantly told from white male perspectives. Which means AI is going to act like that.

Women and people of color, you should probably treat AI like it’s that white guy who means well and thinks he’s woke but lacks the self-awareness to see he is 100% part of the problem. (I say this as a white guy who is 100% part of the problem, just hopefully with more self-awareness.)


Biggest issue I’ve seen with technical analysis like this is that it’s more a measure of market sentiment, not fundamentals. You’re using the crowd as an indicator without any idea of whether the crowd knows anything you don’t or not.

So it’s a little more meaningful than dowsing rods and tarot cards, but only barely. Market sentiment can change on a whim.


I’m not sure I’d wonder any more about those developers than anyone else.

Without getting into TMI I very much enjoy non consent fantasy to the point where I had a CNC relationship with my wife for the first five years. And two things I’ve learned about myself are: I’m not physically capable of even play rape, and that having the power was much more fun and exciting than exercising the power.

So to me it feels perfectly normal to be aroused by fantasy rape but not at all by the manifestation of it. I’m sure it’s not mainstream or anything, and there are a lot of people out there, like Andrew Tate, who are exactly what they say they are.

I think it’s fine to look into it and see which is the case, but I personally wouldn’t expect to find any girls in basements who aren’t there consensually based on the content of their games.


Why does plex need all of this shit? I literally only wanted to use it to stream my local stuff. Now that’s just a tiny part of the app.

I say now, but I don’t think I’ve used it at all in the past couple of years.


Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky. And Disney+ but I’m assuming they mean game play time.



Cheaper AI isn’t the pop we want. We want companies to stop trying to use AI for every god damn thing it is terrible at. We don’t want cheaper AI that’s just going to be baked into more stuff.
