Yeah this is my main concern going into computer science to develop AI since politics seem hopeless, accelerationism seems like a scary idea with the current state of the world. It's sad we get downvoted for voicing these concerns.

LMAO you can't be serious that disabled people get more hate than rich people, left wingers, right wingers, gays and so on. I've seen tons of homophobia, political hate from both side of the spectrum but I've never seen hate towards a disabled person

I know it was tongue in cheek, hinting at a developer/creator of this world - they love it, the rest of us not so much 🤔

Makes me wonder whether human nature means that in order to enjoy a new simulation, it's desireable for others to not enjoy it.

What about the almost 2x difference between "men" and "women"? You are only comparing the lowest and the highest.

And you have to be blind to not see how it's biased. It's an AI, not a person and it's a hate content filter, it shouldn't differentiate between the subjects of hate, because any HATE is still HATE. This is it's job. You are trying to justify the bias but it shouldn't be biased in the first place

Though I applaud you for having a source, the context and nuance of these reports is lacking without going through them.

Are they tagging a black man assaulting another black man as a hate crime?

How many hate crimes from white people go unreported ? White cop covers up for white suspect.

Etc.

How many hate crime charges filed vs dropped and what were the race breakdowns.

All I’m trying to drive at is that this stat may not be the best to use to get a true representation.

Doesn’t pass the eye test. How many instances of a black cop shooting a white guy in the back running away vs a white coo shooting a black guy in the back?

Or how many black people are shooting up a group of white people because of their whiteness vs a white guy running through a crowd because they were at a BLM protest?

Oh?

https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/hate-crime-statistics

They’re about 13% of the US population statistically and account for ~21% of hate crime occurrences by offender. Conversely, 56.1% were white, and well, I’m sure you know the percentage of white people in the US.

You are arguing in bad faith.

FL is banning books and classes based on what they teach. We are already doing the very thing you say we shouldn’t be doing.

The difference here is FL is banning books that talk about the bad things Americans did in history or about scientific things they don’t agree with. Where as openAI is suppressing hate speech and disinformation like “the Holocaust isn’t real”.

It’s extremely obvious the differences here… and as such you are continuing to argue in bad faith.

Block it is.

I have no opinion because it’s irrelevant in this discussion if you actually understood nuance and context.

The first amendment doesn’t protect you or me when we say hateful things towards another person or group of people. It protects our freedom of speech when saying negative things about our government.

Jesus fuck.

Much of what you write is in line with what many hope AI will bring to the world. It is the instinctive concept that appears within our minds when we imagine what could be.

However, 'what could be' and 'what will be' are often stark contradictions. Given enough contemplation the negative possibilities begin to become a bit more concerning. Have you looked deeper into the potential unwanted side effects and have any thoughts thereof?
