The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

    Again, AMERICA doesn’t want this. This is some dumb shit from a mentally deficient and decrepit old man that somehow got elected under very shady terms by a minority of the country.

          I don’t do that because it wouldn’t be right. Doesn’t matter who did what to me in the past.

          For instance if you were a plumber and you intentionally smashed a piece of furniture while at a clients house, does that mean all plumbers are violently vandalizing people’s homes ,no.

          Because adult human beings know that the actions of one do not define the actions of all.

          I am not changing this position. You can get the last word, throw an insult at me or do nothing.

          Choice is yours but I’m done. I don’t have to defend the correct position. It is correct.

            You are right. I don’t disagree at all. But racist mentallity is insane, and that is what I’m calling out. As do you.

        LOL

        Sure, Jan.

        We should stop it. Period. I’ll snap my non-billionaire fingers and just stop it. Like I’m Dorothy and clicking my ruby slippered heels together.

        Most Americans are working three jobs and 100 hours a week to be able to rent a roach-infested studio and keep their kids from starving.

        AI isn’t even in the top ten of issues that most Americans have the time or energy to confront in a meaningful way.

        But let’s not allow the reality of life in this country to interfere with a good, silly Internet screed.

          You just described a country full of miserable people with nothing to lose who are STILL doing fuck all.

          Was it your intent to bring their cowardice into starker relief, or to pretend that somehow they’re excused from acting like humans with agency because… “it’s hard?”

      What matters more? What AMERICA wants, or what the administration enacts in to policy? You’re missing the point if you’re arguing about my phrasing.

    Logical processes require logic to function. This is just going to end up creating contradictions and decreasing the AI’s ability to actually produce usable work. So whichever AI has the most contradictions will probably cause a drop in quality for productivity use.

    It will be interesting to see how different AI’s continue to diverge in quality and reputation as time passes.

    The only solace I find in this is that AI, and AGI specifically, is probably a massive grift that will crash spectacularly at some point.

        Very similar to crypto, the AI hype is sustained by some future promise that never comes true.

          AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

          What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don’t have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.

            I agree with this, mostly. The tech is real – The blockchain has solid math behind it. I don’t know if I agree with its value though. The viable usecases are significantly limited compared to the hype behind them. Bitcoin for example is still inherently inefficient compared to conventional payment systems. AI feels a lot like that – lots of hype with very little substance at its core.

    Yet somehow this is going to be the super intelligence that solves climate change (while we’re building data centers for it that will cause more emissions).

    This is going to be catastrophic. Imagine the government using AI that does not factor that waters will rise and things will get more humid when deciding to build houses or bridges only for them to be underwater.

      How does one get rid of misinformation and tell it to not give real answers. I just don’t get how you can say weather anomalies are consistently occuring more and more… and it is not tied together at all. It’s like trying to do math and having 10 apples. But we cannot recognize we have a total 10 apples. So we say we have 10 individual appels, but we can’t say they add up to ten.

    The funny thing about not specifically dealing with misinformation in an LLM is that not trying to account for misinformation will lead to very wild responses in terms of accuracy, and I don’t mean things relating to politics, but things like putting glue into a pizza recipe.

    Fascists always shooting themselves at the foot. What will they even gain from destroying the world? The GOP make the Nazis look better, because the latter were at least environmentalists!
