Wired: Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful Models

The Trump regime continues its purge of science and technology, this time by whitewashing AI behavior. Since the billionaires back the regime, these new “features” will come your way soon. From the article:

“The Trump administration has removed safety, fairness, misinformation, and responsibility as things it values for AI, which I think speaks for itself,” says one researcher at an organization working with the AI Safety Institute, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal.

The researcher believes that ignoring these issues could harm regular users by possibly allowing algorithms that discriminate based on income or other demographics to go unchecked. “Unless you’re a tech billionaire, this is going to lead to a worse future for you and the people you care about. Expect AI to be unfair, discriminatory, unsafe, and deployed irresponsibly,” the researcher claims.

While AI is built upon the greatest theft of intellectual property in history, the output you receive is the editorial stance of the billionaire or corporation that owns it. Big lake, teeny tiny straw. This makes it very easy to manipulate people. And AI is getting baked in to everything now.

Best advice: avoid AI and learn to think for yourself.
