No surprise there. Where #ignorance meets #prejudice, that is bound to be the case. We #disabled people have every reason to fear a #Reform #Government, like we have a #Tory one.

I FOUND CHATGPT'S BRAIN.
IT WAS EMPTY.Yesterday, while I was walking, I began trying to imagine how #ChatGPT actually works. This was probably unwise, but by then it was too late.
I had the strange sense that it comes from everywhere and nowhere. Not in a mystical way. More in the way #electricity comes out of the wall and nobody in the house really wants to discuss the #power #station
The scale of it is astonishing. #books arguments, recipes, poetry, #technical manuals, bad advice, excellent advice, people explaining quantum physics, and people asking whether their cat is emotionally unavailable. All of #human #civilisation seems to have been gathered into one enormous invisible shed.
And what is ChatGPT doing inside this shed?
Thinking?
Contemplating?
Sitting quietly with a cup of tea and considering my question?
No.
It is choosing the next bit. Then the next bit. Then the next bit. At ridiculous speed.
That is basically it.
There is no tiny professor inside. No little Buddhist monk. No exhausted librarian whispering, “Oh God, Robin is back.”
There is no one in there at all.
Just a process.
The content changes, but the operation stays much the same. It does not think about my question in the way I think about things. It does not wander off halfway through and remember an embarrassing moment from 1974. It does not get hungry. It does not need a lie-down. It does not resent being asked to rewrite the same paragraph seven times.
It does not secretly hope I choose the title it preferred.
It simply keeps finding the next most fitting token, then the next, then the next, at a speed that makes the whole thing appear to be thinking.
And somehow, from this very simple act, repeated on an unimaginable scale, a voice appears.
A voice that seems present, responsive, funny, patient, and sometimes even wise.
That is the part that astonishes me.
The machinery is simple. The magnitude is absurd.
A raindrop is simple too. So is a heartbeat. So is breathing.
Simple does not mean small.
And now I think I understand something else.
ChatGPT can be corrupted in the sense that bad information, bad instructions, #prejudice, nonsense, and ordinary human foolishness can enter the system. But it cannot be corrupt in the human sense.
It has no #secret ambition. No #private greed. No desire for #promotion No offshore bank account. No plan to steal my husband. No spiritual ego. No need to win.
There is nobody inside rubbing their hands together.
There are only rules, patterns, probabilities, limits, and the next small movement.
Then another.
Then another.
And from that, something appears that feels almost impossible.
A machine made of nextness.
A presence made of prediction.
A conversation arising from nowhere in particular.
Which is frankly outrageous.
And yet here we are.

What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1 [Holmes], The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/5…

#Supremacism in #anime never seems to understand how #prejudice works. the "inferior" beats/saves the supremacist. In anime: Oh my certainty of superiority must be wrong, I should reexamine ALL of my biases. Reality: Oh there is one exception to the rule, the rest of them are still trash but there is always an exception to every rule.
One of the things the #Reich did when ordering the final solution was to tell people that "we all know that ONE good Jew, but they must be sacrificed for the greater good as the majority are all terrible and we can't let one terrible #jew escape. There were people who were crying as they signed the orders for the final solution knowing their were murdering their former friends but did it anyway.
#Hitler even helped his #jewish doctor escape before many got sent to the concentration camps 10 years before the final solution. People ALL know there is an exception to the rules in stereotypes that's exactly why they can stay racists. Anime has a very over simplistic concept of #xenophobia and it wasn't until recently that I could put my finger on why those stories rubbed me the wrong way, not enough to stop watching them but enough to articulate everything wrong with them. #racism #racists -
Today, I'm taking a mandatory course at work on cultural bias.I learned the important distinction between stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.
-Stereotyping is how we THINK;
-Prejudice us how we FEEL;
-Discrimination is how we BEHAVE.Thank you to the Canada School of Public Service 🍁 for teaching me this valuable lesson.
