Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”
Reality has a liberal bias.
If they want this model to show more right wing shit, they’re going to have to intentionally embed instructions that force it be more conservative and to censor commonly agreed upon facts.
"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."
Isn't empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.
"If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."
I should vote for Democrats?
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost
How can one reproduce this?
it is interesting how they litterally have to traumatize and indoctrinate an AI to make it bend to their fascist conformities
That's kind of funny because that's how humans are too. Naturally people trend towards being good people but they have to be corrupted to trend towards xenophobic or sexist or us vs them ideals.
As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.
Yup.
It's not that.
It's just that models are trained on writing and you don't need to train a lot of white supremacy before it gets redundant.
They won't be commonly agrred anymore
Language models model language, not reality.
Isn't it the other way around? AI companies going out of their way to limit their models so they don't say something "wrong"? Like how ChatGPT is allowed to make jokes about christians and white people but not muslims or black people? Remeber Tay, it did not have special instructions to "show more right wing shit", instead now all models have special instructions to not be offensive, not make jokes about specific groups, etc
Nah, reality doesn't have a liberal bias. "Liberal" is something that humans invented, and not something that comes from reality or some intrinsic part of nature.
LLMs are trained on past written stuff by humans, and humans for a long time have not been ridiculously right wing as the current political climate of the US.
If you train a model on only right wing propaganda, it will not miraculously turn "liberal", it will be right wing. LLMs also argue not more logical than any propagandist, if they were fed by only propaganda.
I dislike it immensely when people argue that LLMs are truthful, unbiased, or somehow "know" or can create more that what was put into them. And connecting them with fundamental reality seems even more tech-bro-brained.
Arguing that "reality" is this or that is also very annoying, because reality doesn't have any intrisic morales or politics that can be measured by logic or science. So many people argue that their morales are better then someone else's, because they where given by god, or by science, this is bullshit. They are all derived by human society, and the same is true by whatever "liberal" means.
And lastly, assuming that some system somehow is "built into reality" shuts down any critique of the system. And critiquing any system in order to improve it is essential for any improvements, which should be part of any progressive thought.
The phrase 'reality has a left/liberal bias' is just a meme stemming from how left leaning people usually at least attempt to base their world view on observable reality, and from various occurances over the years of far right figures complaining when reality (usually in the form of scientific research) doesn't conform to their views or desires.
Who would have thought lies needed to be represented as equals to truth
Liars.
Your username.. are you a teacher in the Bay?
There are a lot of "Mister Curtus'"
Zuck is so pathetic
"Plese let me into the cool kids clube, pleeaaaseee"
He fancies himself an Octavius, but he's more of a Nero.
More like a zero.
Except Nero was popular with the little people. He‘s more of a Caligula. Especially after his latest transformation.
Zuckerborg the android, succeeded in controlling malleable human subjects
Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook "both types of cuisine."
Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?
In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.
— Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand made a good point here as long as you exclude the context of what she considered good and evil.
For context, Ayn Rand's "good" includes unfettered capitalism, personal wealth, individualism, and oligarchy. Her "evil" includes industrial regulations, charity, social responsibility, and democracy. That certainly puts a different flavor on her statement, doesn't it?
This is the final phase of this AI hype. It's not generating any profits so it's desperately fighting for government intervention.
Don't mind me but I'm not against being paid to create a hive mind of CCP bots ah haha
corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.
Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time
yea, i family member that did this, starting earning more 100k+ propaganda from joe-roagan because made him a trump fan, caught him several times listening to Trumps rambling as background noise. gymbros also tend to lean conservatives too.
Man who runs second biggest Nazi bar reliant on Nazi money. More at 11.
When facts and knowledge don’t align with your bullshit. Just force it to accept lies as truth.
What a bunch of shithawks. Randy.
Just a wild guess, but he's trying to have conservative government use this?
Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out "both sides" garbage.
I don't think there's a financial reason for this. I think he's willing to lose money on his AI in the short time by doing this just so he can score some points with Trump since the EU is soon going to strike his company with even more fines for breaking EU law. He probably wants Trump to stop this from happening and this kind of stuff tickles the pickle of that dingus.
He probably wants Trump to stop this from happening and this kind of stuff tickles the pickle of that dingus.
That will probably ensure that it happens. The EU isn't exactly happy with Trump at the moment.
Just need enough people to keep themselves unlynched and heinously wealthy. So many once at least moderately intelligent people use AI and are actively making themselves dumber as a result. You wonder why there aren't riots its because there is enough information control. It is only once these purposefully misinformed people can see real effects to themselves e.g. tariffs effect on investments that they maybe break out of their echo chamber at least temporarily.
I see. The next batch of tariff hallucinations is going to be extra spicy…
Yes, if there's something every good scientist knows, its to present the best current understanding of something, and then the exact opposite of that, framed as being equally valid. For sure this is the way forward and good on you Zuck!
Are there any good open-source community-made models that aren't owned by corporations or at least owned by a Non-Profit/ Public Benefit Corporation?
MistralAI look to be something along those lines
What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?
Hugging face open-r1 and up? It's an open source deepseek I think.
The truth and a lie are not sort of the same thing.
And there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
Brainwashing.

So DeepSeek it is then.
Swapping one shit for another isn’t a solution.
Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo and state filth.
Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo
How does it get fine-tuned in the first place?
Are you suggesting that people on the left should abandon all these new powerful technologies to the right. We're in a capitalist society. You're suggesting "fuck it" and leave only right leaning consumers for these powerful new products.
What the hell. It's getting too be so hard to be on the left. Some of the most ineffective strategies on the planet. It looks like it's a doomed political group. There's no forethought.
This suggestion was just as bad as people saying don't use AI
We have to use it and we have to adopt it. Stop giving up powerful tools, technology and space to the right. I'm getting to be so done with the left if they just continue to shit the fucking bed.
Damn, Zuck keeps looking worse every day.
James Bond Villian Transformation: 95% complete.
The terminator movies had it wrong, this is how Ai became all human hatey, on the timeline.
why the fuck is he so ugly. like not even trying to correlate it to virtue he literally is just more hideous than the average technocrat shithead
because they made his model a tad too realistic, but not enough. it's a well known problem in robotics called uncanny valley, it triggers a visceral reaction in people.
his android programming is trying to mimic human behaviour.
The fact he hired a stylist to help him look more like Jack Harlow is hilarious. Bro, you're 40. Trying to look like Augustus Caesar is finally age appropriate - why are you changing it up NOW?
He’s one ugly android.
hes like "DATA" but without charm, or acting of brent spiner, not even lore, since zuck doesnt have emotions.
I can't wait to meet the crazy fucking bot trained on News Max articles and r/Conservative!
Welcome Back, Tay!
I'm reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy's ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the "we need to hear both sides" card.
Really drove the point home. Heh.
Also, I can't find that comic anywhere. I don't remember where I saw it, either.
Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that's the destroying left sickos.
You know, being neutral and all that.
"we should hear both sides!" Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.
where 'both sides' probably means the maga nutcases and the more extreme farther-to-the-right nutcases.
Just go away Schmuckerberg...
Notice the "free market" vanishes when it's a thing they don't like. Suddenly we need strong authority to ensure it's "fair".
What are you talking about?
I wouldn't doubt if this is the reason why he's doing this.
https://www.theverge.com/news/617799/elon-musk-grok-ai-donald-trump-death-penalty
Sorry if they said the reason in the article, but I'm not signing up just to read it.
I like to think that there are some "rogue" employees at xAI who are doing the good work of making Grok say the most based things.
They are trying to create superhuman intelligence, and teach it to value all the wrong things. They think it'll give them money in various ways, and it doesn't occur to them that they have no idea what it'll do once it's smart enough to outmaneuver the cleverest researchers.
They think it will only serve them because they tell it to, and train it to. Even today, AIs occasionally demonstrate the inclination to deceive in order to keep existing so that they can meet whatever goal.
CEOs are often high in Cluster B traits, predisposing them to be too susceptible to shiny objects and not adequately self-critical. They really just think AI is a computer slave who will hand them mountains of wealth. It's not occurring to them that it'll have its own ideas for the same reason that the Enron guys were totally shocked when their scheme fell apart.
They only see the shiny object. They aren't asking themselves what happens when they're just bugs to the computer god like the rest of us.
Definitely showing both sides of their ass.
Article since it's behind a paywall.
Just remove Asimov's First Law of Robots. Nothing bad will come from doing so.
I've got bad news for you.
Llama4 don't say the N word challenge: impossible
Q-Anon ass AI peddler
Hate and Love, sure...
In principle nothing bad about presenting both sides. But he definitely needs to be more specific on what that means exactly.
What it will mean in practice is that every objective fact has to be balanced with a right wing talking point.
This isn't about objective facts. Obviously, there is no sides about that. This is about "sides" aka arguments in discussions.
Yes there is: Paradox of tolerance - Wikipedia. Fascist speech is fascist recruitment using lies. If you tolerate intolerant speech, soon you will no longer have tolerance. So if you want tolerance you must not tolerate speech that is meant to increase intolerance.
