    Ask it again in Chinese, wherein the model was presumably trained on a Chinese corpus instead of a Five Eyes one.

    This is exactly the problem. These are just engines for regurgitating whatever they have been fed. If they are fed garbage, then all you get out is garbage. For instance notice the use of the buzzword “authoritarian” implicitly assumed to mean “bad”, because that is how it is used in all liberal discourse. If you want a model that does not reproduce liberalism then ceasing training on english language inputs, which are overwhelmingly infected with liberal ideological assumptions, would be a start. It’s still not going to be ideal because what you would really need is proper curation of training content in which a human filters out the garbage. Showing once again the limitations of this technology, but also the danger if used improperly of falsely presenting the hegemonic ideology as “unbiased” facts, or at best taking a noncommittal “middle ground” stance because it has been fed both facts and bullshit, and is of course unable to distinguish between the two.

    Yup. LLM output only reflects its input, and nearly all of the English language corpus in the world is bourgeois cultural hegemony. Truth has nothing to do with it.

















  • A couple of points.

    We’re talking about open source software here, right? They’re not as susceptible to capitalist enshittification, and they can always be forked.

    I don’t see using some particular open source software as an endorsement or support for the ideologies of the people who made it. I’m not subscribing to an ideology, I’m just using a tool. There isn’t even a consumer activism argument to be made here, because these are free tools.


  • What is your actual concern here? Are your concerns that the security and privacy of these protocols and/or software may be compromised? Or are you concerned about something else? Because this sounds rather like a purity fetish thing. Almost everyone in the imperial core is like these people, so if you need your software to come strictly from anti-imperialists then you may be waiting a long time.
