How long until the leader becomes super racist like those other twitter chatbots?

Or super leftist like the Reddit one?

I don't recall that one! I'll have to look it up.

I can't find it now...but after the MS chatbot turned racist, there was an AI trained on Reddit (not Norman, obv) who was pretty Marxist and in favour of legalising weed. Or maybe I dreamed that?

edit: slipped into the wrong languagge

I want to live in a world where a chatbot becoming racist is not seen as the equivalent to chatbot supporting shared ownership of resources and legal weed

Lets pretend Marxism doesnt have a history start with Marx himself.

Weed being legalized? What's next? Happiness and fun being easily accessible to reduce the likelyhood of drug abuse? Get the heck outta here.

I imagine a world where neighbors don't call the police on children playing in the street.

I think it would be more applicable if they created a magic 8 ball leader.

... Sigh. There goes the draft for my sci-fi novel. Fuck.

It's tough. I have an old draft for a story where people are building a mega-structure around the sun to harvest energy. Then I happened upon the concept "Dyson sphere" and binned it.

When I was little I thought of a theory timeline splitting at each action and there being multiple timelines each containing what would have happened if it went that specific way. Then I saw many worlds interpretation.

Why would you bin it??? Just because it’s scientifically possible, it doesn’t make it any less cool.

Well, I was kinda happy with my new invention, and then when I realized it was hypothesized already in the 60s/70s (or whenever), I kinda lost that spark to keep writing it. I might have also lost it when my old computer crashed...

The story involved a space race between the usual state actors, a female engineer surviving malicious sabotage on the Mars-sol plasma relay station, and one unknown outside force...

Well.. you should write it. Single ideas won’t be the success of the novel, it is how you present it and how good is your writing.

I prefer a decentralized autonomous organization focused party over a chatbot. A digital avatar controlled by blockchain voting seems like a more serious attempt at retaking democracy.

I'm all for this up until the party platform is "eradicate all humans"

How long until everything the chatbot says is incredibly racist, as inevitably happens with chatbot?

tbf in Denmark we have >1irl parties founded on basic racism. If this AI should turn bad it might end up voted into parliament.

This is so cool. I would trust an AI in government much more than a greedy human.

While the sentiment is good, this is meaningless until we can create an actually sapient AGI.

iridescentrae t1_is9a3z0 wrote

Makes sense. Just program it with what you believe in and how that applies to different issues, as I’m sure they did. Pretty much the same thing as a regular person with their own viewpoints, except the AI has to actually show their work (logic/debate) and can’t choose to be a narcissist or psychopath or whatever like a lot of people (at least in the US) are.

Just got finished reading Homo Deus which predicts things like this happening and here it is. This party might fail, but the idea will live on because algorithms are the future and taking over more of the present.

Just a heads up, they are not a party yet. They need to gather enough support to get into parliment and even then, they will be such a small minority that they have no real say.

The article is almost a nothing burger.
