Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

My friend, not every AI rates people for their skin tone.

Pretty sure every single one since Tay has been fairly racist. They get around that fact in many modern AIs by forcing subject changes but it’s still fairly racist on the backend. Early “jailbreaking” proved as much.

My coding AI is bullshit and almost every Kotlin, SQL, Java or whatever snippet is a hallucination, but I'm pretty sure it's not racist.

Not all AIs are made for the topic here. But all suffer from the same issues. Shit in, shit out.
