And this is one of the best arguments against depending on LLMs. People are outsourcing their thinking to linear algebra machines owned by the wealthy. LLMs are a tool of social control.

Based on the attempts we've seen at censoring AI output so far, there doesn't seem to me to be a way to actually do this without building a new model with pre-censored training data.

Sure they can tune models, but even "MechaHitler" Grok was still giving some "woke" answers on occasion. I don't see how this doesn't either destroy AI's "usefulness" (not that there's any usefulness there to begin with) or cost so much to implement that investors pull out because none of the AI companies are profitable, and throwing billions more to sift through and filter the training data pushes profitability even further away (if censoring all the training data is even possible at all).

Executive orders aren't laws de jure, but they are laws de facto.

They are not laws whatsoever. They aren't anything more but words on a paper. You can't take it to court and argue that you are complying with an executive order and HAVE to. That's why they keep losing all of these lawsuits based on EO's. You can't just make some shit up and have it fly in court.

You're thinking of FreeDUMB, where you're allowed to believe whatever you want. But Trump has to approve the position first (as stated) and it has to be the opposite of whatever the data/proof clearly shows. It's like the Wish.com version of Freedom~TM~, but that's geared more toward Teaparty Gun Nuts and Libertarian Potheads.

Edit: Huge caveat I forgot about. Joe Rogan also has the ability to dictate FreeDUMB positions. So long as the guest making the claim (1) has no degrees and (2) they're being suppressed by The Establishment. Also, Jamie has to be able to Google some random website that agrees with them in under 25 seconds.

I thought he was going to deregulate ai; this seems like regulation to me. Add it to the pile mountain of lies.

This is more accurate. China is fucking killing it. Far from perfect but somehow the US has turned into a third world shithole despite having the biggest budget in the world. China takes care of its people and actually sends help when natural disasters hit.

Historical accuracy is how you get skynet.

To be fair to the executive order (ugh) many of the examples cited are due to well intentioned system prompts that encourage the LLM to actively be diverse.

The example of a female pope or whatever (read this earlier) is an example of that.

Generally speaking the LLMs have left-bias because they're trained on information unlike conservatives, but they aren't necessarily asking the models to be censored

The LLM probably makes better decisions lol

For example, one major AI model changed the race or sex of historical figures — including the Pope, the Founding Fathers, and Vikings — when prompted for images because it was trained to prioritize DEI requirements at the cost of accuracy. Another AI model refused to produce images celebrating the achievements of white people, even while complying with the same request for people of other races.

Ahhh, so white men are the victims of woke AI, got it.

It's...shifting. Unfortunately.

No. You would use a base model (GPT-4o) to get a reliable language model to which you would add a set of rules that the chat bot follows. Every company has its own rules, it is already widely in use to add data like company-specific manuals and support documents. Not rocketscience at all.

So many examples of this method failing I don't even know where to start. Most visible, of course, was how that approach failed to stop Grok from "being woke" for like, a year or more.

Frankly, you sound like you're talking straight out of your ass.

lol look at this guy still thinking in terms of "the crime comes first".

You arrest the dissident, then choose which 'law' they've broken. Don't worry about the details. 'Who is responsible'? The guy you just arrested. Duh.

I know, but it looks derpier that way

Because Executive Orders aren’t laws. They’re just guidelines for the executive branch of the federal government, which the POTUS is in charge of. It can’t affect private entities like AI businesses, because that would require an actual act of congress.

Notably, this would potentially determine what kinds of contracts the executive branch was able to make. For instance, maybe the government wants to contract out a LLM instead of building their own. This EO could affect which companies are able to bid on that contract, by adding these same restrictions to any LLM that they provide. But on its own, the EO is just that; an order to the executive branch of the federal government.

“Immigrants, we get the job done.”

Sure, it can go wrong, it is not fool-proof. Just like building a new model can cause unwanted surprises.

BTW. There are many theories about Grok's unethical behavior but this one is new to me. The reasons I was familiar with are: unfiltered training data, no ethical output restrictions, programming errors or incorrect system maintenance, strategic errors (Elon!), publishing before proper testing.
