Pretty much what I suspected.

Although he can spot overt disconnects in bias, like the Trump/Biden example(although he has to insist emphatically that he doesn't like Trump), he can't spot his own "implicit biases" and dog whistle racism concerning the picture of "Some white guy", or that it's "unfortunate" that so many companies are led by white males.
Nor does he(Can he? Will he?) identify what the algorithm's real issue is. His implication is that there is so much racism(Are you supposed to capitalize "racism" now? It's no longer a mere noun, but a proper noun describing the absolute worst thing in the history of the universe that only white people(and really, only deplorable bitter clingers) are capable of being/doing/feeling. Perhaps all caps? And bolded italics?) on the internet that it drowns out the non racist voices(every other race/ethnicity, liberals and women who didn't vote for Literally Hitler) and leads us to a moral panic apocalypse of naughty ideas and insensitive speech.
That sort of cognitive dissonance combined with pathological altruism is extremely dangerous when considered through the lens of history.
It can lead to the sort of justifications for the altruist to load people on the train cars or put them against the wall. As we learned from Hot Fuzz, "For the greater good!"
I've worked in tech, off and on, going back as far as I think '99 or '98. I've worked exclusively in tech for almost the past decade. I can honestly say in the past decade things have devolved in the tech world to a staggering degree versus 20yrs ago. People who are mentally ill, sociopaths, or simply enslaved to their base instincts have entered into the tech world in droves. The Fortune 100 have gladly welcomed them in with open arms, and in many cases even fostered their delusions, almost like they want to implode existing society so they can remake it in their image...
Many of these lunatics now have startups, are CEOs/CTOs, and often receive significant seed rounds of funding.
As they've gained power through weapons of mass social deconstruction, they're increasingly using them to enforce their demented will on society. Every 80s or 90s dystopian movie is quickly becoming a reality.

Lots of drama at OpenAI (the maker of chat gpt) this week with the Friday firing of CEO Sam Altman for lying to the board, nearly all of OpenAI's employees resigning in protest on Monday, and the installation of a new board yesterday which immediately brought Sam Altman back.
At issue was the company's transition from an altruistic non-profit intended "to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return" into a typical for profit tech company potentially headed by the “Oppenheimer of our age."
This is a superb illustration of malicious obedience and following of directions. I have convos with analysts regularly, after they have clearly come across a guardrail and hit the gas instead of continuing to head in a clearly defined direction. I will now have this gem in my back pocket reinforcing that everyone is replaceable for many reasons, to include this very pointed example of artificially intelligenced fuckery. If I could find a time to delivery metric, that would be amazing.Originally Posted by Cinco/1482867
