There’s been a distinct lack of subtlety in right wing propaganda for a long time, going back at least to “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.”

grue@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•3 Lessons From International Protests Amid the L.A. Unrest5·5 hours agoWhat do you mean, “always?” Way too many dictators have lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully of natural causes.
Multiple people in the thread are talking about using them because of worries about a kid running out into traffic.
Quit pretending that a statement has to apply 100% of the time in every possible circumstance in order to be generally true.
People are alluding to it, but not attributing the blame correctly: the “need” to leash kids is yet another negative consequence of car-dependent urban design.

Which means the only strategy left (besides capitulation) is to play their game and beat them at it.
grue@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•DNC considers holding new vice chair election after audio leak4·1 day agoIt’s not “allegiance to the party;” that’s a fucking lie. It’s understanding of game theory and harm reduction.
Quit your bullshit.
grue@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Los Angeles anti-ICE protesters clash with police, set fires downtown amid National Guard deployment1·1 day agoThe reason “ACAB” is a thing is that “good cops” pretty quickly either cease to be good or cease to be cops (e.g. Frank Serpico).
That’s why the “a few bad apples” analogy applies: because they spoil the bunch. The whole bunch, without exception.

grue@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Computer says no: Impact of automated decision-making on human life; Algorithms are deciding whether a patient receives an organ transplant or not; Algorithms use in Welfare, Penalise the poor.English0·2 days agoThere is an implicit assumption here that models are being ‘trained’, perhaps because LLMs are a hot topic. By models we are usually talking about things like decision trees or regression models or Markov models that put in risk probabilities of various eventualities based on patient characteristics.

If these things were being based on traditional AI techniques instead of neural network techniques, why are they getting implemented now (when, as you say, LLMs are the hot topic) instead of a decade or so ago when that other stuff was in vogue?
I think the assumption that they’re using training data is a very good one in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
grue@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Computer says no: Impact of automated decision-making on human life; Algorithms are deciding whether a patient receives an organ transplant or not; Algorithms use in Welfare, Penalise the poor.English1·2 days agoI’d like to know what specific steps are being taken to remove the bias from the training data, then.

No, it’s sometimes instructive to understand what he’s lying about and why.
