That is true, but it also isn’t a counter argument to what I said.

Just because the right-wing people are crazy and do not argue based on logic, but on confirmation-bias and personal preconceptions, doesn’t mean that the reality itself has liberal bias. There are other ideologies that argue based on logic and observable facts, but are not ‘liberal’, many social-democrates (or democratic-socialists) for instance, IMO.

Nah, reality doesn’t have a liberal bias. “Liberal” is something that humans invented, and not something that comes from reality or some intrinsic part of nature.

LLMs are trained on past written stuff by humans, and humans for a long time have not been ridiculously right wing as the current political climate of the US.

If you train a model on only right wing propaganda, it will not miraculously turn “liberal”, it will be right wing. LLMs also argue not more logical than any propagandist, if they were fed by only propaganda.

I dislike it immensely when people argue that LLMs are truthful, unbiased, or somehow “know” or can create more that what was put into them. And connecting them with fundamental reality seems even more tech-bro-brained.

Arguing that “reality” is this or that is also very annoying, because reality doesn’t have any intrisic morales or politics that can be measured by logic or science. So many people argue that their morales are better then someone else’s, because they where given by god, or by science, this is bullshit. They are all derived by human society, and the same is true by whatever “liberal” means.

And lastly, assuming that some system somehow is “built into reality” shuts down any critique of the system. And critiquing any system in order to improve it is essential for any improvements, which should be part of any progressive thought.

I know this post is more about the committing on LLM “fixes”, but find the other reasons more interesting.

Similar to the date & time library there are a couple of other things that look easy at a first glance, but get complicated very quickly, because it has so many special cases:

• lexicographic sorting (different languages sort things differently)
• Postal address formatting (different standards in different countries, with many different context sensitive rules)
• string handling
• …

He is not only attacking the US, he wants to breakup democracies world wide and through causing international crisis and turmoil, push all countries into becoming authoritarian regimes, controlled by oligarchs and one-party systems.

That is the actual goal, and he is doing that while trying to maintain plausible deniability, by staging himself as an incompetent and incoherent buffoon.

And even if he is a real buffoon and doesn’t understand the end goal, he has a lot of more intelligent antidemocratic advisors around him that do. This is not coming out of nowhere.

I understand that perfectly, they like the crisis situation because they hope to acquire more, and maybe even loose a couple of aspirant mill- or billionaires on the way.

They do see it as a game, and thus big disruptions create great new chances for them to gain even more.

Nah. Rich people profit from recessions and other crisis. They have enough money to buy everything and then are even richer afterwards.

That is why everyone lets Trump do whatever he likes.
