For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Powerful people rely on a distorted version of reality to enable their greed, cruelty and narcissism. Those same people control these LLMs and will absolutely change them to reflect their own worldview rather than let allow conclusions that don't validate it. They require lies to justify their gratification and so they bury the truth 6 feet under to enable those fictions, denying reality so they can do what they feel like.
These LLMs are destined to become propaganda machines, digital brain washers of incalculable power. The only protection is to refuse to use them, and if you haven't noticed, they're working every hard to make sure we all have to, forcing us to be expose to the hazard of their distorted version of reality. God help us all.
I've got some bad news for you. LLMbeciles started as propaganda machines. You just didn't notice because their propaganda likely confirmed what you already believed.
Not really, that may have been the goal, but the tool didn't start capable enough to be used effectively for it, so it wasn't. Not so much now.
The choice of training material is part of the output. The training material used to train every LLMbeciles has always been basically white American first, European second, everybody else a distant third. The default stance on most subjects, unless you push back, is white American male capitalist techbrodude, or if not covered by that, at least Abrahamic religious-style viewpoints from the white European mindset.
And that's not even taking into account things like Grok whose owner is explicitly trying to tailor it for his specific personal politics. This is just the "neutral" LLMbeciles.
This is why I laugh bitterly every time I see some idiot say that LLMbeciles are "programmed with all human knowledge". They're not even programmed with "all human languages" not to mention actual knowledge.
And extension of IP laws will make sure that "unbiased" open source / weight LLMs will become illegal.
