| Re misalignment of safety teams
|
| The leadership of many companies are involved in

| known is that Facebook funds Progressive votes and
| ideologies from the top-down. So, the ideological
| alignment is fully aligned with the company's, political
| goals. Example:
|
| https://www.npr.org/2020/12/08/943242106/how-private-
| money-f...
|
| I've also seen grants for feminist and environmental
| uses. They've also been censoring a lot of religious
| things on Facebook. We keep seeing more advantage given
| to Progressive things while the problems mostly happen
| for other groups. They also lie about their motives in
| these conversations, too. So, non-Progressives don't
| trust Progressives (esp FAANG) to do moral/political
| alignment or regulation of any kind for that matter.
|
| I'll try to look at the safety docs for Meta to see if
| they've improved as you say. I doubt they'll even mention
| their ideological indoctrination. There's other sections
| that provide hints.
|
| Btw, a quick test by people doing uncensored models is

|
| Okay... but just because the majority of people believe

| 'targeted suppression' but that the model has 'learned'
| and to show both sides would be a form of suppression.
|
| For example while it's not the majority, there's a

| flat. If you tell an LLM that the Earth is flat it'll
| likely disagree. Someone that actually believes the Earth
| is flat could see this as the Round-Earther creators

| Is that true tho? During training, the model predicts {"wall":
| 0.65, "fence": 0.25, "river": 0.03}. Then backprop modifies the
| weights such that it produces {"wall": 0.67, "fence": 0.24,
| "river": 0.02} next time.
|
| But it does that with a much richer feedback than WRONG!
| because we're also telling the model how much more likely
| "fence" is than "wall" in an indirect way. It's likely most of
| the neurons that supported "wall" also supported "fence", so
| the average neuron that supported "river" gets penalised much
| more than a neuron that supported "fence".
|

| >>> what is the last version of Ash Framework for Elixir you know
| My training data goes up to December 2023, and according to the
| Ash Framework releases, the last stable version that I'm familiar
| with is:
|
| * *Ash 2.14*: Released on April 8, 2021.
|
| However, it's worth noting that Ash has been merged into Elixir
| itself, and most of its features have been integrated into the
| Elixir language and standard libraries.
|
| In fact, Ash was one of the first frameworks to be included in
| Elixir, and it played a significant role in shaping the language.
| Many of Ash's core concepts, such as `defstruct/1` and
| `defmodule/1`, were later adopted by Elixir itself.
|
| ...
|
| Keep in mind that Ash is no longer actively maintained as a
| separate framework, but its legacy continues to influence Elixir
| and its community.
