Crime stats, average IQ across groups, stereotype accuracy, etc.

What's interesting to me is not the above, which is naughty in the anglosphere, but the question of the unknown unknowns that could be as bad or worse in other cultural contexts. There are probably enough people of Indian descent involved in GPT's development that they could guide it past some of the caste landmines, but what about a country like Turkey? We know they have massive internal divisions, but do we know what would exacerbate them and how to avoid them? What about Iran, or South Africa, or Brazil?

We RLHF the piss out of LLMs to ensure they don't say things that make white college graduates in San Francisco ornery, but I'd suggest the much greater risk lies in accidentally spawning scissor statements in cultures you don't know how to begin to parse to figure out what to avoid.

Europe has long demonstrated that it's uninterested in competing in the economy of the 21st century. This is exactly in keeping with everything else they've done.

So why wasn't the NYT punished for publishing info from Trump's tax returns? The laptop story could at least be true. There is no way for the NYT to receive Trump's tax returns without someone committing a crime.

npm is still a disaster, but for other reasons:

    $ time rm -rf node_modules/

And they called it Sistine, which flabbergastingly shows that coming up with a good name for something is indeed possible.

Chris Hughes sure has turned being randomly assigned as Zuck's room mate into a lucrative career.
