Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable7·7 days agoWhile you are correct, and the author deserves to be called out on their behavior, the context of the entire article is around how they are struggling with being bombarded with things taking up their attention and time. This response is seriously lacking in any compassion for the author’s struggle and more or less ignores the entire point of the article in order. Beehaw isn’t the place for one-liner gotchas. Please try to engage with the content if you’re going to comment.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•The Future of Forums is Lies, I Guess3·8 days agoEh frankly I just see us moving to more strict reputation based systems - someone has to vouch for you.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust4·8 days agoSo how is an AI prompt poking for Holocaust denial different than a Google search looking for Holocaust denial?
Because one is something you have to actively search for. The other is shoved in your face, by a figure that many feel is one who has some authority.
Why are you defending anything about this situation? This is not a thread to discuss how LLMs work in detail, this is a thread about accountability, consequences, hate, and society.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•The Future of Forums is Lies, I Guess6·9 days agoDefinitely something I’ve observed even here. Luckily we get few applications and there is a report button, but I share the author’s frustration and the author’s jaded view of a limited timeline on services such as ours being tenable. Eventually it will be trivially easy to flood this place with slop.

Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops8·22 days agoEven if an officer’s name and badge number were not public (which would be weird, because both of these are a part of a police officer’s uniform), what is the concern about a tool which provides these?
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops15·22 days agoI would love to hear what has you concerned about a tool which provides a piece of information which is, by law (California Penal Code Section 830.10), supposed to be accessible to all individuals interacting with the officer - their name and/or badge number.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American17·2 months agoIn what world is that even a plausible outcome of this news? This feels non-sequitur by its pure absurdity. If they had a list of 1000 things they can do with this database, that would not even be on the list.
I understand you are talking about something which either interests you or is a cause you care about, but we’re talking about monumental governmental surveillance by a president many scholars are calling a fascist. This is not the time nor the place to discuss such matters and trying to have that conversation could easily be read as dismissing the plentiful and obvious concerns around privacy and safety of the American public.

Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media12·3 months agoI’m glad to see a lot of different people trying different models. I don’t think microblogging really has the capability of being nontoxic, but who knows? Maybe they’ll succeed where everyone else has failed. I certainly know we’re trying to have nontoxic social media around here, and we have plenty of issues at a much smaller scale.
I understand why you might be upset based on how they made a rather sweeping statement about the comments without addressing any content. When they said “a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour” it might strike many as an attack on the user base, but I’m choosing to interpret it through the lens of simply being upset at people who are not nice. I could be wrong, and perhaps @[email protected] can elaborate on exactly who and what they were talking about.
Regardless, let’s try our best to treat them in good faith. Don’t let your own biases shape how you interpret people or their language. Please try to ask clarifying questions first before jumping to the assumption that they are a right wing troll.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgMto Science@beehaw.org•Ideology May Not Be What You Think but How You’re Wired0·3 months agoHey fam, starting with this reply its pretty clear you’re not engaging in good faith - this statement is fundamentally accusatory. It’s unsurprising that other folks viewed this as an attack. Please chill out, treat users with good faith, and do your best to avoid escalating things - you should gut check your own comments and ask yourself “how will others view this? Is this helpful?” and if the answer is no, rewrite your comment or don’t reply.
Gaywallet (they/it)@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•have positive reviews destroyed games?0·4 months agoThat’s just cherrypicking. Yes some people will review bomb. Others will make fake positive reviews to counteract people review bombing a game for being too “woke”.
In the end the only thing that even could matter is how people in aggregate work - and that’s easy to account for, you just readjust the distribution to be more spread out to get the “true” score of things.
This video seems more like clickbait than anything. I’m finding it hard to find anything worthwhile to engage with here even from a high level.

It really isn’t hidden lol. But you will get countless LLM defenders online who claim you can eliminate the bias with prompting or other hacks which don’t address the underlying issue or do anything but patch a broken system. To fix LLM bias you need to systematically correct, and very few folks have bothered to try and design methods to systematically correct. In the case of Grok, it’s actually explicitly designed to reference Musk’s bigoted musings on subjects first before examining other information.
