Almost certainly since it's the active users that tend to get reported the most and get banned the most for just regular shit. It's why Reddit is "banning" people for like 3 days instead of just permanently banning people like they used to.

It remains to be seen how well they can run the business with the transparency and oversight that comes with being a publicly traded company.
Reddit is already starting to replace permanent bans with little two or three day bans because they can't afford to lose the active users that tend to get reports.
The problem is that something that works for me 90% of the time ends up completely fucking me the other 10%. That might be manageable, but the thing is that the easiest way to manage it is to just get a vehicle with more range.
In this case it's that the AI was race switching known historical figures. But that does highlight the problem. You can't just tell the AI that Europeans are white because it's never actually been true. There were POC all over Europe for basically all of recorded history. There just isn't a switch to flip here, the AI needs to be able to understand race in context.
I remember when I was a kid and met a guy that didn't think he was racist because he literally didn't meet a single non white person until he was an adult. Yet somehow he already had all kinds of opinions about them.
It's a real challenge. The datasets all have genuine bias built in and identifying and correcting it is incredibly difficult. I mean, there WERE people of color in historic Europe, lots of them. So you can't correct this by just making them all white because that isn't necessarily more accurate. But yeah, we know that King George wasn't black.
That's always the issue with super heroes. All these people with these crazy abilities and powers and the only thing we can think to do with them is beating up petty criminals.
Like that's really what the world needs: tougher cops with no oversight.
For sure. It's currently possible to push discourse with hundreds of accounts pushing a coordinated narrative but it's expensive and requires a lot of real people to be effective. With a suitably advanced AI one person could do it at the push of a button.
You CAN prompt an ethnicity in the first place. What this is trying to do is avoid creating a "default" value for things like "woman" because that's genuinely problematic.
It's trying to avoid biases that exist within it's data set.
Why even grow them with arms and legs if they are just going to be batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just grow cows instead?
