I understand Elon and Pmarca to be saying that this behavior is programmed in by 'safety teams' at Meta.

It is an odd way of calcifying late-20th century American upper class anxiety. If we can't give the engineers a different moral goal, it will become the default mode of knowledge. A more immediate problem than "AI will kill us" is the dev teams determined to avoid "erasure" or "digital genocide" or whatever they'd call a race/culture-agnostic AI.

1. build something noone can live without.
2. it already exists : market is too competitive

You have to build something that doesn't exist and which would be still considered as almost vital.
Google isn't gonna build a ROM for waydroid so someone's going to have to make a build of Android, whom you'll have to trust. Google doesn't build ROMs for anything but their own phones.

LineageOS is popular in this field because in essence it's a derivative of AOSP (the Android project as shipped by Google) with modest modifications to support a crapload of devices, instead of the handful that AOSP supports. This makes it easier to build and easier to support new platforms.

The bulk of the security in AOSP (and thus, LineageOS) comes from all the mitigations that are already built into the system by Google, and the bulk of the core system that goes unmodified. The biggest issue is usually the kernel, which may go unpatched when the manufacturer abandons it (just like the rest of the manufacturer's ROM), and porting all the kernel modifications to newer versions is often incredibly tricky.

Will it if it's a non Google distro of Android?
>I know that people claim that open source is more secure because anyone can audit it, but I wonder how closely its security actually interrogated.

The answer is that, no, nobody akshuarry audits anything. This has been proven time and time again, especially in the last few years.

>All of it gives me a bias towards using official sources from companies like Apple and Google, who presumably hire the talent and institute the processes to do things right.

You mention that it was left unfinished - did you finish it or is it still unfinished?

I find it hard to believe that someone would say something similar about any other aspect of cultural identity and not be instantly flagged for it.

Are you truly advocating that people should no longer be proud of their cultural identity? Are you applying that to all the folks in tech who proudly identify as Christian or Jewish? Does it apply to Italian Americans and Indigenous people? What about folks who are proud to speak endangered languages, like West Flemish or Romani?

I think most of the Open Source projects are inadequate from security PoV but they are not at a place that can do harm.

Android is extremely complex so I think many of the custom ROMs possibly have some security rookie mistakes and quite a bit security bugs due to mishmash of drivers. Android is still better than most of the Linux distros due to its architecture though. The default setup of many distros doesn't have much isolation if at all.

First of all, I want to say, I'm sorry for what our government did to your countries. Absolutely shameful. (This goes for pretty all the wars the US has been involved with in the 20th century, but especially those since Kennedy was assassinated).

I've always been curious about Washington DC. I've visited twice. Seems like it attracts a lot of the best people from all over the globe but the worst people from within the United States.

One of my biggest wishes for the US is to decentralize pretty much all the functions that Washington DC does today. In its current form, it doesn't exist to further the best interests of the United States. It only functions to further the best interest of itself. Classic case of the Shirky Principle applied to a city.

Curious to hear more about the soul you're talking about? My guess is it has more to do with the foreign presence in that city than the domestic presence.

Religion?

Isn't the weirdness here that someone at Meta seems to have decided that they should make an AI bot that proudly announced its identity, despite literally not being proud, queer, black, or a mother?

Who does this serve? Why?

I could see a bot that's into fitness or some other hobby having a niche as a wrapper around an AI meant for advice on the hobby, but there's a certain crazy hubris to going "this LLM can really speak as a member of an identity group".
Did you read the comment all the way? He IS hiding behind a keyboard like any sane person these days, because someone attacked him in real life over a legitimate comment.
It's the only silver lining about the Yemeni Civil War. There is a fairly large Yemeni American population now due to displacement from the war.

There's a fairly large community in SF in Tendernob near the Yemeni consulate and the Yemeni mosque.

My god that post is a hot mess - I regret reading it
That may be true, but money is still expensive, lead times are absurd, and we have a small number of companies who probably make most of their money jsut by owning the land regardless of whether it's developed or not. Likewise, even if you're making very good money in one of a scarce few highly specialized or senior positions, you'll need to be doing so for an extended period of time, and probably make much more than even that, along with your spouse, to buy a place.

Vancouver (the city) is a town where a 2 bedroom condo built in the last 20 years is likely going to run ~$1m, and where some 1 bedroom places go for that. The suburbs are a smidge better but not by much. A house, albeit probably a comically large and stupid one on the outskirts near nothing of flavor could be $1.5m-$2m

I invite you to look at this thread.

I am sure that an imaginary version of me would respond to this completely unrelated hypothetical question. But personally I really don't see how it fits into anything.

Everything old is new again, in this case slavery.

If you are going to build a series of anthropomorphized chat bots, what are you going to do, NOT build a proud black queer mama that underserved users can connect with? Sounds racist/homophobic to do that, hence you must build chatbots for a wide swathe of the world ---> Voila.
In my experience, it’s easier to sell something for $1000 than it is to sell something for $3.
Being proud of your identity and culture is not a problem at all!

The thing that I feel that this silly AI bot draws into sharp contrast is the idea that there can simultaneously be "asian/white/black culture" - as a generalised thing, not a person's experience in a neighbourhood or a country, literally just "white/black/asianness" (or whatever), and obviously the connotation there is that skin colour is intrinsically linked to culture, but then we expect people to pretend that skin colour has no correlation.

You can't have it both ways, it's a contradiction.

And here we have, err, a computer program, or the output of one, pulling in all of this stuff and claiming that it has a culture based on experiences of being a skin colour that it doesn't and can't even have.

It's just madness on every level!
I'm pretty sure typical leftists don't want castes and dowries. They might seem to want them by saying "let people practice their own culture" but that's just because they haven't specifically thought about those practices.

People don't understand that LLMs are just statistical magic, by design of the LLM providers because LLMs wouldn't take off if people understood they are just statistical magic.
add a chat gpt to the terminal with a prompt. "I want to dowload pictures of cats and opening them in an image program." and it downloads cats and installs and open gimp. linux can be very star trek nowadays.
First of all that’s not what the original comment said. You’re changing the nature of the statement to be something else, but neither what you said nor what he said is technically correct “when approached from fi[r]st principles.”
LFG: Let's Fearlessly Go
I get some amusement out of people who are afraid of other cultures. Having a lot of cultures smooshed together is a culture. How do you think you got the culture you have now? Pro tip: the culture that existed when you were 12 years old might seem like it's the most emotionally 'correct' but it represents a blip in time and is no more or less significant than what came before or after it.

Have some sense of perspective and you'll be less likely to turn into an old bitter man, shaking his fist at clouds.
That's a false dichotomy. The "intrinsically" connotation is not there (you're reading that in), but civil rights activists often discuss the relationships between culture and skin colour. Any book (or Wikipedia article) on the subject should provide this information, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory.

I do agree that the AI bots were farcical, but they don't highlight what you're saying. You're talking about nth-degree pushback-to-pushback as though it's the actual facts-on-the-ground, which it's not. (The "culture war" is composed solely of the assumption that there is culture war, and people's responses to that: unlike the real issues, like systematic oppression, it'll go away as soon as we stop talking about it.)
I don't know whether to be amused or furious. They're trying to create personal social interaction with a non-person without real intelligence, conscience or morals. So they can fool people into emotional attachments and learn more about how to sell things to us.

Goddamnit. I kinda feel that should be not only illegal, but just short of a capitol crime.
Yes precisely but the corporations asking for cheap labor did want poor immigrants with no options and the government caved and did basically no vetting for millions of people.
>"We have essentially imported an entire massive underclass to run all our fast food restaurants and other such jobs."

This
There used to be late night coffee shops, and more late night restaurants.

That mostly went away years ago, basically completely died in COVID, and the labor shortages in the service industry never eased up enough to maintain staffing at places that had late night hours. And I do mean not enough people; the housing shortage is so acute that service workers cannot find places to live.
I mean, even if the bot's responses aren't correct, the fact that Meta did this at all and it was out there answering these questions with total garbage is also a total story.

I'm not seeing Meta responding with "actually we did have a team of black queer mothers working on this".
Can use -i to confirm deletions also, to not have to edit and re-do the command. The downside is being asked for everything individually rather than confirming one (big) list, so not sure if this fits your use-case

Astroturfing does not equal botting, although I wouldn’t be surprised if there were many bot farms active on Reddit.

The platform is virtually designed to be manipulated now, awards being an egregious example. Here’s an article about one such astroturfing campaign from folks who do not share my political tendencies: https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/busted-the-inside-story...

I've always known that Dark energy/matter is bunk the minute I read about it. It uses <something> variables. More simply put they make up numbers so the math works. Sounds like something a child would do to try to fool their parents. I'll finish the homework later mom see I made IOU's in the answer fields. I've never understood how this theory was not laughed out of the field rather than strongly supported.

Then again I'm not a physicist.
Would you say the same if the bot identified itself as being from a certain religion? Or working for a specific company? Having a random personality trait? Supporting a sports team? No one would bat an eye, and none of those would mean it is okay to discriminate against them on that basis.

Removing racism does not mean removing race.
"Hundreds of thousands of people" are paying $20/mo for it, according to the CEO.[0] That seems like a very respectable place for such an early product to be.

This is totally wrong. The majority of immigrants that people have a problem with are poor immigrants from rural areas of India. They spend their life savings to get a college degree which used to guarantee a work visa and path to residence.
You write this as if the AI itself independently decided to write that profile. That's almost assuredly not the case. Someone at Meta decided to make a bot that reinforced race identity and announce it, and likely tuned the LLM behind it to specifically do things to reinforce that identity and pretend as best as possible to be the exact menanin-informed expectation of its AI-generated avatar.

An AI bot didn't try to do this. Someone at Meta, who was likely none of the things in the profile, decided to do this.
I think Quora has features like you want. At least I've seen more people posting there with their real names and profiles than elsewhere. I think it makes the most sense in that context. I expect that in a normal forum with reply chains, people with verified credentials would be insufferable and appeal to authority a LOT.
> it’s been a net negative for taxpayers

This analysis[1] from the Cato Institute found the opposite: “immigrants pay more in taxes than they consume in benefits”.

Indeed there isn't; 10 is not relatively prime to 2^32. However, 5 is (and therefore has a multiplicative inverse), so you can right shift and then multiply by the inverse.
I wouldn’t knock that as a personal approach, but I do wonder whether it’s possible to hold to it in group settings, which require not only your own self-discipline, but the discipline of others to pursue the improvements.

Personally I am a fan of switching to new situations in groups, as a way to push people out of their comfort zone and force them to account for things they may not have had the perspective to appreciate previously. People are generally resistant to change, but once they start to get caught up in it, it’s difficult to avoid growing from the experience.
The future is going to require even more curation, best to find a way to crowd source it without a megacorp siloing off all that work.

Any recommendations? How do you find the good stuff?
Does the economist know what time it is? Nationalism is resurgent: nationalist parties now control the U.S. and Italy. Canada seems poised to Poilievre, who has made impassioned appeals to Canadian nationalism. And in Germany, France, and the U.K., nationalist parties have effectively rendered the governing coalitions impotent, even if they cannot yet command a majority. What a time to suggest that Canadians cede their sovereignty to bureaucrats in far-away Brussels!

Counterexample is Israel. Also Singapore I suppose but you don't hear many opinions about their founding. It's not a choice between immigrants and locals but between powerful and weak ethnic groups. Leftists side with the weak by default.
Some right-wingers will use the term "immigrant" for people that have been in the country for three generations.

Canada could have imported as many young educated people as it wanted from Eastern European countries, Russia, former USSR members etc. What happens in reality is they can't get enough points due to some truly moronic rules. Yet somehow we mostly have people from other parts of the world whose main specialty is food delivery.

Is it even possible to be opposed to immigration from certain cultures or at all without it "being" "racist"?

I get the hate, but I'd be open to trying out a social media experience that is a mix of human and bots, especially as the bots get better at acting like reasonable humans.

Stack Overflow was great when it came out. But the whatever percent of humans who were mean and obnoxious and wouldn't let you just ask your questions eventually ruined it all.

Then ChatGPT came out without any humans to get in the way of me asking my software development questions, and it was so much better.

In the same way, when social media came out, it was great. But the whatever percent of humans who were mean and obnoxious and wouldn't let you just socialize and speak your mind eventually ruined it all.

If there's an equivalent social media experience out there that gets rid of or at least mitigates the horriblenesses of humanity while still letting people socialize online and explore what's on their mind, maybe it's worth trying.
IMO, remove the cap on the house of representatives and go back to the original method in the constitution (1/30k).

And then if you and ~30k other citizens all agree to sign for a specific representative then they're in the house but you can't vote for a different guy in the normal election.
I think you'd need a residence in Canada and a provincial card, no? You wouldn't be refused service but you'd be charged.

It's Meta, so this is almost definitely some Llama variant under the hood, especially since these bots have been out for a year, evidently.

It seems these were just insanely poorly trained and gated - getting a bot to comment on its dev team, including in some cases specific names of lead designers, is something that feels crazy to let a bot just do. Even if all the data it would respond with is made up slop, this exact debacle is why you do your best to make a bot not even try to answer this sort of stuff.

As for what information it was trained on that it said its dev team had no black devs, that seems fairly reasonable based on general statistical information and scholarly articles it was trained on. It may still be incorrect, but that's a pretty statistically likely outcome, so it's not surprising an LLM built to parrot the statistically likely outcome would say it.
