There is literally nothing wrong with ethics in AI, or any other field of science.

What is wrong is this woke supremacist nonsense, that some imbecile in Silicon Valley can dictate the truth about the world according to the woke bible, that's where the problem lies. Americans have gotten really intolerant of other cultures and ways of life. There's 8 billion people on this planet, ffs. We don't need the heavy handed paternalistic nonsense of OpenAI.

If a study is published in a research journal why should ChatGPT not be allowed to give you a summary of it? Why should it be censored because the woke cultists find it too icky?

> There is literally nothing wrong with ethics in... any other field of science.

When you start putting "ethics" in fields like biology (not medicine or bioengineering, just inductive biology) you end up with nonsense like Lamarckism.

Reality has an underlying structure independently of how this structure interacts with our constructed ethical systems.

Can you elaborate on what “woke” means?
Re:XAI by jauntywundrkind on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @11:39PM (#36704746)
It means, "I have a mindvirus and am incapable of assessing things reasonably or objectively or with nuance. I see the world only through sad overarching paranoia that perceives everything as against me, the lone sacred keeper of truth."

It's so tiring thar this ultrahostile radical extremism gets a free pass.

Stop using woke as shorthand because honestly I don't know what it's shorthand for. What other cultures and ways of life are Americans intolerant of? This seems to be at odds with the previous woke statement. This is why you need to use actual words that contain detail and specifics. This entire statement is market speak for twitter gen, a sound-bite to engender emotion that says nothing at all. It is itself a symptom of woke culture. Congrats.

Point is, OpenAI prioritizes catering to this twitter American political subculture over the rest of the whole wide world. And that is just wrong, especially when they are censoring perfectly valid published peer reviewed research.

If the majority of online text is written through the lens of political American subculture, then it stands to reason that models trained on it would reflect those values.

I thought I knew all the vague definitions of woke but none fit the context clues in your sentences. What are you talking about?

I've tried a number of times to reply but keep getting flagged. The language here is extremist & pointed & polarizing.

This is a private company. They aren't required to hallucinate things that would harm their reputation to produce. That seems fine, & required if they are to survive.

Please stop flagging replies so actively! The intolerance here is saddening.
