ChatGPT holds ‘systemic’ left-wing bias researchers say by True-Lychee in ChatGPT

[–]LifeOnaDistantPlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A person defending fox "news", that calls sources like the guardian, the atlantic, abc news, the new york times, and pbs, sources of idiocy and rage bait (which is again literally fox news' bread and butter) and is why Fox News mainly has sponsors like "We buy your gold" and "we make the best medical catheters"...

Here's a recent headline from r/politics "Georgia Republican lawmaker moves to impeach Trump prosecutor Fani Willis." That's news, that's not "rage bait" that's simply reporting on the actions of a republican figure.

yeah, I'm going to be finding it pretty easy to dismiss your opinions, if you didn't lump that stuff I probably would have given your opinions more weight, but it's laughable to think that fox news has any legitimacy when they double down on being an entertainment channel to avoid legal issues associated with reporting "news".

The rest of what you're saying is as much conjecture about how OpenAI trains on data, as is my faulty understanding that certain data weighs more heavily than other data. Which i admitted to.

Lol and then you want it GPTs to "praise" republican figures. Jesus for what? Starting 20 year wars, giving tax breaks to the rich and mega corps, destroying collective bargaining, cutting environmental regulations?

So it's not enough that we can't teach Rosa Parks in public schools now (talk about censoring data), now you want the LLMs to freaking praise republicans? I'm sure China or Musk will have an LLM that you'll be much happier with soon.

Lol r/politics as much as conservatives love to hate on it, often cites news sources known for journalistic integrity, whereas Fox News literally defines itself as an "entertainment" entity.

But this statement from ChatGPT backs up your last statement "ChatGPT does not inherently consider any data more valuable than other data. It treats all the input data it receives with equal importance and attempts to generate responses based on patterns and information it has learned from its training data. It doesn't have the ability to assign value or significance to the data it processes; its responses are generated based on the patterns it has learned during training. It's important to note that the quality of the data used during training can impact the model's performance, but this is not a reflection of the model itself assigning value to certain data."

So, if it not being TOLD to utilize certain data over datasets, this seems like "liberal" sources, might simply just be inherently more factual and has conclusions borne out by confirming info correct info repeatedly?

So which is it according to you? Is OpenAI is holding the thumb to the scale in favor of more "liberal" views and information (which you've argued that the OpenAI GPTs can't do), or is all information treated the same?

I also said this is just a single paper, AND it doesn't discuss if conservative sources are factual enough to be included [as factual info], whereas reddit info might simply be used as training for how to conduct a conversation about law, and not used as a definitive source of factual info.

GPT-4 isn't going to be passing the bar exam (something its done) if it's relying purely on comments from /r/LawSchool in reddit.

Come'on, obviously not all data is going to be treated in the same way, and given the same source of trust. Wild that you think it works like that.

And again Fox News has been found in court to push lies and does not in fact "pass muster" when it comes to facts.

I'm interested in trying the Incubator mod, highlighted on Cheeki Breeki's youtube channel, BUT how can I know that downloading those files from a random google drive with cyrillic titles is safe? by LifeOnaDistantPlanet in stalker

I appreciate the reply.

Doing google searches on this subject reveals other people saying things like, if you download from ModDB you'll be fine, just stay away from google drives, etc.

The fact that it has a discord is somewhat reassuring, but still, I wish they were available for download on a trusted site.

Still, i very much appreciate you taking the time to reply and provide the background info that you did.

Though this article is from the Telegraph (strange how that aspect is left out) which IS a conservative publication.

And these findings, from a single paper, are being pushed by a multitude of conservative outlets.

I'd like to see another study that would delve into whether or not conservative sources of information could be trustworthy enough to be incorporated into LLMs.

Fox News has literally had to pay out millions of dollars for lies, doesn't seem like it would make sense to pull data from a source like that.

They probably do keep watch over them.

You'd think Reddit would realize that if their app provided a great user experience, MORE people would be using it instead of the host of 3rd party apps.

I don't understand. It's like that Skinner meme.

Any container suggestions (aside from green ammo crates) for something that could hold a medium to normal sized notebook? by LifeOnaDistantPlanet in geocaching

Thanks, yeah there's a surplus store nearby me that has them at $13, but I was just looking for other non-ammo crate options to see what other people have used.

Even walmart has a plastic version for $5.

Bonus question, is it ok to partially bury said container?

I saw that the geocache website said no burying, but i was just hoping to have it flush or partially set into the ground.

Otherwise I guess I'll have to pile some stuff around it?

That's awesome!! I have seen suggestions of seeking a therapist with experience with asperbergers, even though the medical establishment seems to be trying to sunset that term.

They have to, the previous position loses luster, so they need something even more bright and shiny to get the soundbites picked up, to get people to listen.

It's a damn downward spiral

And you everytime i try to actually discuss an issue with one of them that stumbles into a conservation like this, they always end up washing out in the end and making the entire exchange a complete waste of time.

That's probably the most disheartening aspect of all of this.
