Oh please let it be a fully egalitarian future…

Attached is a perfectly acceptable social media post and two entirely understandable LLM responses to the post and a reimagining of the post.

One relevant data point in terms of how soon we’d conceivably be refactoring language models and updating our own views:

From their research, Sáenz and Poston Jr expect the United States to have progressed to overall white minority demography by 2044.

Of course, a white minority doesn’t necessarily equate a dismantling of a power structure favoring white folks.

It shouldn’t need to be said on the fediverse that racists need not reply - expect most folks will approach this academically as intended.

PS: if you hate this post, please try to be as nice as you can about it - e.g. toss me a polite sentence after you downvote

    It’s an averaged-out view of what “the internet” thinks, with extra massaging to make sure it isn’t too offensive.

    There multiple fundamental mistakes with that…

    Would explaining them be more productive?

    Sure, but I don’t get paid for this.

    You want to be productive, take the time to explain all the ways their wrong. You don’t have time for that?

    Let everyone else at least know it’s wrong.

    But what you just did was completely pointless

      literally do not care about the subject matter or debate whatsoever, I was just pointing out that your behavior is not acceptable

      LLMs work by predicting which word comes next based on training data (“the internet”) and the model is then tweaked so that it doesn’t sound like 4chan. How is any of that incorrect, o wise one?
