something that irritates me is thinkpieces that buy in to the frame of the need to prevent LLMs from providing users with "harmful information" even as they acknowledge that such constraints are only put in place to reduce potential legal liability or negative press.

the "harmful information" is all in the training set! it can only tell us stuff we already know, or could infer from what we already know!

I am mere centimeters away from writing a full on essay about how the “goblins are inherently antisemitic” myth spawned by this website propagates misinformation, displays a huge misunderstanding of what folklore is and does, and contributes to an environment that distracts people from how antisemitism actually operates and the ways in which it’s dangerously on the rise in our current climate–something which, surprise surprise, has almost nothing to do with little green fairy men

not to be maya on side but please do not call someone or something “mayan” when talking about our people, culture, etc. “mayan” refers to our language family (a language FAMILY, in which there are plenty of unique languages). we are the maya, not the mayans. i am maya, not mayan. it is the indigenous maya community, not the indigenous mayan community.
