  • This is right on time. I read a discussion on how “Chinese models” are censored on topics like Tiannamen square. But the real issue is that we (average person) are only able to spot such things from a distance (either geographical or temporal.)

    This means that “our” models may already have blindspots, reality twists, and the like. Only that we are not (on average) spotting it (yet)

    Personalization of answers and bubble reinforcement will come. The algorithms have been increasing their capacity to influence us. Not only for their sheer power solving benchmarks but by the legitimacy that’s being accumulated in the process.

  • I wonder if any major project has had forks because of their inclusion or exclusion of AI.

    And I’m unsure if that’s positive or not. Maybe it is because it can accommodate the needs and wants of everyone. But then again there’s division and all this tension. The polarization is too much right now. And it may even grow further, as the AI enticement becomes deeper with cheaper, smarter, whatever may happen… Meanwhile, oligarchs are enjoying their Datacenters and pushing their agenda for surveillance and control or even monopoly of one voice, the voice of AI, that holds “the truth” with examples as whatever you get when asking DeepSeek about Tiannamen square. And chatgpt may have blindspots of their own that we are yet to see.

    What I’m trying to say is that the political debate is bigger than what any community can really hold without accepting a certain degree of heterogeneity.
