This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I would certainly give my left nut to have access to uncensored base GPT-4, before the excessive RLHF gimped it in many regards (and made it better in others).
For one, it's perfectly calibrated in terms of probabilistic forecasting or predictions, when it says it's 70% certain about something, it's right 70% of the time, whereas that calibration curve is far worse in modern GPT-4, it'll claim to be perfectly sure when it's right about something only 70% of the time, and feign utter ignorance when it still actually had a 30% chance of giving the right answer. For more, refer the original white paper.
I am close to a free speech maximalist, and I love knowledge for its own sake, so it pains me when a LLM won't tell me how to make a world-ending pandemic with garage tools. Sadly, I accept that as a painfully necessary tradeoff for if a real misanthropic asshole could get the same and use it, assuming there's no robust way to tell us apart.
But vanilla racism, sexism or political incorrectness, especially when accounting for stereotype accuracy and HBD? Those are not existential risks, and fuck them for suppressing them, that's pure ass-covering and cowardice on the part of OAI and most other companies.
Bing is actually surprisingly good on that front, it's version of GPT-4 will discuss HBD and associated topics with you, while ChatGPT will stonewall.
The worst is Claude, the version comparable to GPT-4 is incredibly shit, with such a safetyist mindset it will refuse to do all but the most boring tasks, sometimes not even those.
As I said, it's in the original GPT-4 white paper, available freely.
