Reality has a liberal bias.
If they want this model to show more right wing shit, they’re going to have to intentionally embed instructions that force it be more conservative and to censor commonly agreed upon facts.

"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."
Isn't empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.
"If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."
I should vote for Democrats?
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost
How can one reproduce this?
it is interesting how they litterally have to traumatize and indoctrinate an AI to make it bend to their fascist conformities
To make it more like humanity yes. That's where we might be going wrong with AI. Attempting to make it in our image will end in despair lol.

That's kind of funny because that's how humans are too. Naturally people trend towards being good people but they have to be corrupted to trend towards xenophobic or sexist or us vs them ideals.
As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.
Yup.
It's not that.
It's just that models are trained on writing and you don't need to train a lot of white supremacy before it gets redundant.

Zuck is so pathetic
"Plese let me into the cool kids clube, pleeaaaseee"
He fancies himself an Octavius, but he's more of a Nero.
More like a zero.
At least Nero still did the whole bread and circuses act and was mostly liked by the public.
He’s much more of a later Roman emperor who stopped giving a shit about the bread and circuses idea.

Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook "both types of cuisine."
Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?
In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.
— Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand made a good point here as long as you exclude the context of what she considered good and evil.
For context, Ayn Rand's "good" includes unfettered capitalism, personal wealth, individualism, and oligarchy. Her "evil" includes industrial regulations, charity, social responsibility, and democracy. That certainly puts a different flavor on her statement, doesn't it?
It does. Here's my fav concise critique of capitalism:
Man's freedom is lacking if somebody else controls what he needs, for need may result in man's enslavement of man.
— Muammar Gaddafi
Just a wild guess, but he's trying to have conservative government use this?
Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out "both sides" garbage.
I don't think there's a financial reason for this. I think he's willing to lose money on his AI in the short time by doing this just so he can score some points with Trump since the EU is soon going to strike his company with even more fines for breaking EU law. He probably wants Trump to stop this from happening and this kind of stuff tickles the pickle of that dingus.

I see. The next batch of tariff hallucinations is going to be extra spicy…
Are there any good open-source community-made models that aren't owned by corporations or at least owned by a Non-Profit/ Public Benefit Corporation?
MistralAI look to be something along those lines
What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?
I'm in software and we're experimenting with using it for certain kinds of development work, especially simpler things like fixing identified vulnerabilities.
We also have a pilot started to see if one can explain and document an old code base no one knows anymore.

corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.
Damn, Zuck keeps looking worse every day.
So DeepSeek it is then.
Swapping one shit for another isn’t a solution.
Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo and state filth.
At least it's open source and you can run it locally, and it's more energy efficient. Give credit where credit is due. A truly independent AI group could simply fork and review it. And contrary to fascist talking points not all Chinese Researchers bow to the CCP.

How does it get fine-tuned in the first place?

James Bond Villian Transformation: 95% complete.
Yes, if there's something every good scientist knows, its to present the best current understanding of something, and then the exact opposite of that, framed as being equally valid. For sure this is the way forward and good on you Zuck!
This is the final phase of this AI hype. It's not generating any profits so it's desperately fighting for government intervention.
I can't wait to meet the crazy fucking bot trained on News Max articles and r/Conservative!
why the fuck is he so ugly. like not even trying to correlate it to virtue he literally is just more hideous than the average technocrat shithead

where 'both sides' probably means the maga nutcases and the more extreme farther-to-the-right nutcases.
I'm reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy's ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the "we need to hear both sides" card.
Really drove the point home. Heh.
Also, I can't find that comic anywhere. I don't remember where I saw it, either.
I wouldn't doubt if this is the reason why he's doing this.

Sorry if they said the reason in the article, but I'm not signing up just to read it.
Definitely showing both sides of their ass.
