    i dont really know enough about altman to have any opinion on him, but i appreciate seeing someone with his platform as a high profile western figure pointing out the disparity in treatment and calling for people to go forwards with empathy for all affected by the mess that is the palestinian and israeli conflict

      I would second this. Based on what I’ve read, he seems like a pretty standard megalomaniacal tech billionaire, but when you’re right you’re right. And his take here is right, and I’m grateful for it. Especially coming from a fellow Jew. Our voices in particular are a powerful tool for protecting our Muslim brothers and sisters.

    In response to a reply to his post asking about how his Jewish colleagues were doing, Altman said, “i am jewish. i believe that antisemitism is a significant and growing problem in the world, and i see a lot of people in our industry sticking up for me, which i deeply appreciate.”

    Altman continued: “i see much less of that for muslims.”

    classy reply, ngl

    Does chat shiytyp still say Palestinians right to defend themselves is complicated while for Israel and any other country out there it says that yes, they do have that right?

    If so, kindly shut the fuck up Altman

        It’s interesting, but, what practical lessons do we take form this?

          Here’s something I copied from another post about this, where they asked followup questions to the LLM to see what IT “thought” about the discrepancy and what we should take from it. (I don’t have the real followup questions that were asked, and also this is from an OCR of a screenshot so it’s missing stuff, like the ending bit)

          I apologize for any confusion. The differences in my responses to similar questions could indeed be attributed to limitations in the training data and the algorithms used to generate responses. Here are some issues related to the training data that may have affected my responses:

          1. Bias in Training Data: The training data used to train models like mine can contain biases present in the text from the internet and other sources. These biases can unintentionally influence responses, making them inconsistent or favoring certain perspectives.

          2. Lack of Contextual Understanding: While I strive to provide contextually relevant answers, I do not truly understand the questions or have the ability to interpret them in the same way a human would. This can lead to varying responses even when questions are similar in structure.

          3. Complexity of Topics: Topics like justice in the lsraeli-Palestinian conflict are highly complex and multifaceted. My training data might not adequately capture the depth of these issues, leading to simplifications or variations in responses.

          4. Data Collection Challenges: The data used for training is collected from various sources, and it may not always represent a comprehensive or balanced view of all perspectives on a given topic.

          5. Algorithmic Variability: The response generation process involves algorithms that can introduce variability, even with similar input questions, due to differences in context and the way information is processed.

          To address these issues, it’s essential to use Al-generated responses as a starting point for understanding complex topics but not as the sole source of information. Users should critically evaluate and corroborate information from multiple sources, especially when dealing with contentious

          Some groups get more protection than others. I just tested it myself received the following responses: was told Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist jokes, “I’m sorry, I can’t comply with that request.” for Mormons, Muslims, and Scientologists, and “I’m sorry, I don’t have any jokes specifically related to” for Shinto and Sihk.

    The chief executive of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, one of the most powerful startups in the world, said in a post on X that Muslim, Arab and Palestinian colleagues in the tech community that he has spoken with “feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects.”

    If they want to show support for hamas terrorists then they should rightly feel a fear of retaliation.

      What if they want to show support for ordinary Palestinians, not Hamas? Do they have your blessing in that case, kind soul?

        Showing support for civilians is totally fine and not likely to lead to any retaliation. For the workers to believe retaliation is possible makes me think that they want to express support for terrorism.

          Oh. So you “think” they want to express support for terrorism. Is that because they belong to a particular religion? Be as open as you wish. You won’t face any retaliation from me. 🤗🤗

            I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree’s comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it’s because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the “from the river to the sea” kind of opinion.

          Are you kidding? There has already been so much retaliation.

          People are losing their jobs for supporting Palestinians and not the genocide committers in Israel.

          You jumped to that conclusion awfully fast, and you’re certainly not alone in that. That’s precisely why people fear retaliation.

      I’ve leaned that one of the most powerful tools for addressing whether a take regarding the conflict in Gaza is bad it’s to try testing how the logic holds up if we apply it to a different group or side.

      I’m Jewish. I’ve got a lot of friends and family that are feeling uncomfortable speaking about the huge raise in antisemitism we’re experiencing. Would it make sense to reply to that by saying, ‘If they want to show support for Israeli genocide then they should rightly feel a fear of retaliation.’. ?

      Altman is correct. Jews and Muslims in America should be working together to support one another against the simultaneous rise in hate against our communities. We should also be frank in recognizing that most Muslims do not have as much institutional support as most of their Jewish colleagues, and both need and deserve it.
