The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

        It’s a stereotype to ascribe traits to an entire group of people when you say “America” or “Americans” in The context given. Otherwise one would say , the United States government.

        Of course , that requires effort.

        I don’t do that because it wouldn’t be right. Doesn’t matter who did what to me in the past.

        For instance if you were a plumber and you intentionally smashed a piece of furniture while at a clients house, does that mean all plumbers are violently vandalizing people’s homes ,no.

        Because adult human beings know that the actions of one do not define the actions of all.

        I am not changing this position. You can get the last word, throw an insult at me or do nothing.

        Choice is yours but I’m done. I don’t have to defend the correct position. It is correct.

          I just, I do not understand why this upsets people so much.

          I work for a company that does things I don’t want them to do all the time. I’ve never felt like someone saying “[the company] wants to do [this thing]” was ever referring to me specifically whatsoever.

            What if they said employees of your company all support a thing? That would include you.

            It’s absolutely insane to say all Americans support Trump when he has a net negative approval rating pretty much everywhere, including red states. Look at the opinion polls, most people don’t like what’s going on. Yet for some reason, people claim the majority of us like him for some reason.

              But no one is doing this. America is a state.

                But they do for countries, when they say “Americans do X” when it’s just the administration doing it and it’s unpopular.

                  “Americans do X”

                  *America. Look at the title again.

                  I gotta be honest, I don’t understand what you’re fighting for here. That people in Finland will have a slightly better opinion of you? Mexico will know you’re one of the good ones?

                  Russia has done a lot of disagreeable things, I’ve got to imagine its people are pretty upset about it.

                    I’m talking about comments a few levels up the chain talking about overgeneralizations, as well as the very common loose language online where people attribute problems to the people of a nation rather than its leaders.

                    I have no issues with Chinese or Russian people, I have issues w/ their respective governments. Yet we get hate crimes against the people that come from a region just because their government did something stupid.

                    I’m pushing against his culture.

          You are right. I don’t disagree at all. But racist mentallity is insane, and that is what I’m calling out. As do you.
