HN discussionI distinctly remember someone making an experiment by asking ChatGPT to write jokes (?) about different groups and calculating the likelihood of it refusing, to produce a ranking. I think it was a medium article, but now I cannot find it anymore. Does anyone have a link? EDIT: At least here is a paper aiming to predict ChatGPT prompt refusal https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.03423 with an associated dataset https://github.…

HN discussion>Are you tracking actual identity politics or the term "identity politics"? The term "identity politics" is not being tracked. Rather, terminology used by modern left-wing idpol ideology is being tracked. See here: https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/new-york-times-word-usage... >the meaning of the term applies just as much to ending slavery, womens' suffrage and civil rights movements. I'm not sure that's true. E.g.…

HN discussionA genuine answer, how about looking up some studies on this subject? Not those done by Wikipedia of course, they claim to be politically neutral after all. Here's a few, from https://www.allsides.com/blog/wikipedia-biased Six studies, including two from Harvard researchers, have found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia: A 2024 analysis [1] by researcher David Rozado that used AllSides Media Bias Ratings [2] found Wikiped…

HN discussionGiven the mountain of evidence for Wikipedia's left wing bias[1][2][3][4], it seems something ought to change, but hard to answer "how?" I expect to receive many downvotes for this, despite providing high-quality and authoritative sources. Which is not unlike what happens on Wikipedia :) [1]: https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/is-wikipedia-politically-... [2]: https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-the-regime-captured-wi…

HN discussionI, for one, would like to see an open-source model similar to Stable Diffusion, but for text. It would be a great way to empower general folk without having to pay OpenAI, and not have to worry about the LLM's belief system, which is conservative-biased in the case of ChatGPT[1] (HN discussion[2]).

HN discussionThere's lots of data, yes. Rozado has many n-gram plots that show this happening around 2010 for some terms and 2012-ish for other terms: https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/ppdwnmd The huge spikes in terms like inclusion, racist, sexist, climate change, global warming, etc is clear, all starting around either 2010 or 2012 (except for global warming, which spiked a few years earlier and then was replaced almost overn…
