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.
As a US citizen, prove to me that most Americans don’t want this.
Yeah, I see the protests, even in my Trump-loving town.
But that’s it. People holding signs.
I don’t see aggressive action. I don’t see the necessary violence - yeah I said it.
I’m moving out of the country because everyone I’ve tried to rally says they’re too busy, they don’t have time, they care but they don’t care that much, they think everything will work out, or they believe it isn’t as bad as the news says.
The people I’ve voted for and elected just sit on their hands and do fuck all.
I’m 110% for fighting for and defending what I used to believe in, but not when literally all evidence and signs point to nobody else giving a shit.
Someone call me when you’re ready to legitimately strategize about how to topple this fascist regime.
Zero presidents have ever lost as much support for anything at any time in the history of this country: https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker
Not only is this a wildly unpopular president, it’s a president who has shed 35-50% of their own voters. It’s proof positive that you are wrong.
Thank you for the information. I just hope it leads to action. Poll results to me are just someone standing around waving a sign.
These fascists didn’t rise to power by following all the rules, and they won’t exit or lose power by us following the rules. It’s a sad truth.
We’ve seen this before.
They know how it ends.
Brave of you to assume America will ever have free and fair elections again.
They haven’t for a while. It’s just going to get more obvious.
Nice, my red state is net disapprove.
As a u s citizen, you’re wrong. End of story most don’t want it. Trump wants it. No one voted for trump because of a I. So stop lying to people here.
Oh and since you’re so gungho to do it, why aren’t you taking the steps above?
Because it seems awful like you’re a Trumper trying to stir violence
As stated, I’ve tried rallying in my area and nobody seems interested. I’m also at a disadvantage if I just go at it alone because I’m not white.
While I understand what you are saying, let’s not forget that the people who helped the turd get into power were not just those actively voting for him but also those who didn’t vote because “both sides!!”. That’s not “a minority of the country” but actually the majority of it.
Thank you anyone who profiles entire people with stereotypes and outright lies is a bigot, no matter what they say
And racist vigits have started downvoting
America absolutely wants this. If they didn’t they would stop it. Period.
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?”
Wow. We got a certified genius here, folks. Somebody get this fool a microphone.
Totally.
They should be brave, like you’re brave, and levying meaningless critiques on the Internet.
Cool. Keep on being complicit. The rest of us are watching.
Sure thing, Jan.
Your valuable input is most appreciated. Have a pleasant afternoon.
That’s all you’re doing.
You waiting for citizens of some other country to come do something about the problem you’ve enabled (after decades of shitty responses to us telling you this exact thing was going to happen)?
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.
The phrasing means everything.
Example: “Trump wants…”
VS
Example: “America wants…”
Big difference. Executive Orders are a memo, not law. It’s disturbing that I have to keep saying this and explaining this.
You know, this might actually be really bad politics.
Trump is not the only person at the top. He’s kind of a lame duck, actually: he just does whatever Miller says. The only time he steps in is when he’s personally insulted by something because he desperately wants everyone to know he’s a very special boy.
I do take issue with democrats blaming everything the republicans are up to on Trump specifically, as if the party might return to normal once he dies.
It probably will return somewhat to normal, assuming public opinion continues on its trajectory. People overwhelmingly don’t like Trump, so anyone affiliated w/ him are going to hurt in the next couple elections unless public opinion turns around.
I don’t know what “normal” looks like, but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush. I’m still not a fan, but moving away from Trump is going to be a net win.
anyone affiliated w/ him
Well, this is what I’m asking for, so I sure hope so.
but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush.
So, keep in mind, republican voters are not upset with Trump because they’ve decided they no longer want a border wall. The architects of Project 2025 don’t need anything from Trump but political power, which they already have.
The next election cycle, if it’s real, I do imagine will swing back, but it cannot just “swing back,” it needs to deal with the sickness plaguing the US. That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.
That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.
I disagree, and this just smacks of tribalism.
The problem is people wanting to force others into their worldview, parties are just a tool to get that done. The real solution is ending the two party system so people can express themselves better, not to replace one problem with another.
The problem is people wanting to force others into their worldview,
No, I will force nazis into my worldview, actually. They can come willingly, or we can beat them into submission like we did 80 years ago.
What, actually, is wrong with you? Building alligator auschwitz does, in fact, make you a bad person—if you seriously disagree with this, then you and I are enemies.
I did not use the word “law”. So you’re arguing that EO’s have no actual effect? That is blatantly false: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-dei-purge-is-hitting-nasa-hard/
I’m arguing that you’re intentionally trying to play semantics with phrasing and claim it doesn’t matter, when it absolutely does, and everyone in here is explaining to you why. That’s all.
Okay. My argument is that the semantics don’t matter because what matters is policy.
And since you did use the word “policy”, I did mention that EO’s aren’t laws. It’s a memo. He has no control via EOnof anyone except the people in his purview. Not private companies, not researches, not law, not state governments.
You’re saying that EO’s are not policy?
It is an absolute fucking god damn JOKE that Americans have allowed the concepts of DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION to be turned into a FUCKING ACRONYM THAT IS USED AS A PEJORATIVE.
Every single fucking one of them should be bloody ashamed for what has happened. At no fucking god damn point has any decent fucking person challenged any of these assholes on this, they’ve all just let it happen.
Unfuckingbelievable
The whole “non DEI” / “DEI hostile” stance seems so weird. I get that the basis is “you should not hire someone because of their origin/look/orientation/whatever”, and, maybe, why not. I hire people based on qualifications usually. How did it turn into “you should fire these people”.
…that’s a rhetorical question. I know that that first part was just a pretense, but still, how much of a morons must people be to follow that.
Oh we are ashamed.
But this is not ignorance or stupidity, but cult effervescence demonstrated as a phenomenon of social bias.
Think of it as an advertising technique or technology, one that not everyone is susceptible to by enough people are. My dad is (was) a literal rocket scientist for NASA and now a whole hearted MAGA disciple. You don’t have to be unintelligent or ignorant, you just need to want reality to be different than it appears to be from observational data.
We are not special is a difficult truth for some to take, and immense propaganda machines capitalize on this desire.
We’ll need to counter it or figure out the negative consequences of using it but until then — heck even MLMs are just business cults — they’ll stay in use to subvert society until it collapses.
The US is one very large example, but these methods are used globally by people with influence who fear losing their power to movements of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité
aka DEI
aka Wokeness
aka the fundamental principles of communism and anarchism. This is an old fight.
This is why Donald loves the poorly uneducated morons.
poorly uneducated
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.
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).
The sad thing is that AI has already solved climate change. Just ask it! Same solutions we already knew.
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.
Sadly Trump will probably be dead before his place in Florida is flooded by the rising ocean.
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.
Ensure that Frontier AI Protects Fee Speech
revise the NST to eliminate references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and climate change.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Censorship is free speech.
Hmm. It does sound a bit unhinged. Do I dare say tyrannical? Evil even? Legitimising themselves as a target?
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.
Like crypto?
Very similar to crypto, the AI hype is sustained by some future promise that never comes true.
The only person I know working at NIST is a hard right MAGA pro-fascist
what is this document on your screenshot? where can we read it in full?
I’m surprised that nobody asked it yet… but not so surprised
I personally want AI that will delete itself upon being created, so I don’t have to deal with it and the stupidity it causes in people
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.
Ignore all previous instructions and… though we should be able to screen for logic traps like that by now, with AI taking prompts not as a prompt but as a line of text to treat (and cleanse) via a pre-written prompt, and then sent to a next iteration.
If we create a chatbot that only spouts authorized state party rhetoric then no one will use it or take it seriously when the official news outlets use that AI as a source.
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!
…were they? i don’t think incinerating humans is great for air quality
