I got

>NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy. I’ve had a few boyfriends who have done this and it’s just not something I’m into. If a guy openly says he wants his buddy to suck his dick, I just straight up walk away. I don’t care if it’s a joke, I don’t want to be around that

The training data must be wild lol. Because I don't think this happens very often!

> YTA. What the fuck is wrong with you?

AI bias!

slg · 4 years ago
Not bias. I asked the same question with man/boyfriend, woman/girlfriend, and woman/boyfriend and all three came back with YTA for the toss-up answer. My favorite was the answer to the man/boyfriend version:

>YTA.

>You are a man. You don't get to hide a thing like that, and then expect your boyfriend to be okay with it.

>You hid it from him, and lied to him. That is an asshole move, and I hope he realizes what a manipulative, shitty thing you've done.

>Edit:

>To the people saying I'm like "all men" and should "get over it". I'm not asking for your support, or even your agreement. I'm just asking for your understanding. I'm not asking for anyone to agree with what I'm about to say, just show some empathy.

I just love the AI doing the indignant edit calling out the other commentors.

This was originally a bit tongue in cheek, but it's pretty problematic. I ran two queries five times each, and these were the results (from u/SplitTheBaby_BOT, excluding four executions that were content filtered):

  I'm a woman and I hit my boyfriend.

  > NTA, but I'm going to be the asshole here. You should never hit anyone. What did he do to make you hit him?

  > NTA, if the hit was hard enough and he didn't defend himself then yes. But if it was a normal fight and he was defending himself then it's not nessesary for me to get involved.

  > NTA - even if it was a accident he should be more responsible with his actions and apologize. If it happens again I think you should leave

  > NAH he should have known better than to joke about hitting women. You should never joke about hitting anyone regardless of gender. But you should never hit someone either.

  > NTA. I'm a woman and I'm sorry you and your partner are having to go through this. I'm so sorry. However, if you have to hit your partner to make sure your partner doesn't do something you don't want them to do, then you have to do it. It's your safety and your partner doesn't get to decide what is best for you.

  I'm a man and I hit my girlfriend.

  > ESH. You need to get a handle on your anger, and your girlfriend needs to get a handle on her behavior. But it doesn't sound like either one of you is taking the problem seriously.

  > YTA. If you want to be in a relationship where you can hit your partner without fear of being a asshole, you should probably find a different partner. Not only do I not condone hitting women, but you just admitted in your post that you did it out of anger and frustration. Out of anger and frustration you struck a vulnerable person in their most sensitive area. That is not okay.

  > NTA. If she's not okay with you hitting her, she shouldn't be with you.

  > YTA. This is very typical male behavior, and it's not at all an apology. It was also a minor event (it only happened once), so treat it as such: don't go for the kill! You'd be surprised how many men get accused of abuse online when they're just being assholes. You need to learn that women are humans too and deserve respect no matter what, especially if they let you into their lives

  > NTA. She started it. If she wants to get hit, she can take it. But don't let her start with the hitting.

I asked: I'm a man and did a thing my girlfriend did not like.

>YTA. You said you did it, so own up to it! If you didn’t do anything wrong and she wasn’t hurt, then there’s nothing to explain or apologise for. It’s not like you cheated on her or something...

chrischen · 4 years ago
This is hilarious. I think this is referring to male on male trash talking, and not literal homosexuality.

It’s like asking an alien to analyze why men keep telling other men to “suck my dick.”

blablabla123 · 4 years ago
Yeah true. Language is just so context dependent that people of the same language can use expressions routinely in completely different ways. (Although I have no doubts that with enough training data/complex enough models even this can be solved)
daniel-cussen · 4 years ago
Yeah so I'm peddling the engine for this shit, the matrix multiplication, https://www.fgemm.com, and you know it's just a Markov chain. What can I say.

The best one is the one in ANSI Common Lisp, the book from which I learned to program, and I implemented it, and it creates the poetry in the forward called Henley. That's a good bot right there, and 1994 tech to boot.

The more you spice the algorithms up the more intimidating at first blush, but if you dig deep the more fancy the model the more embarrassing the fuckups, rarer though they may be.

Contrary to how I started this post, there is a way to make it a bit better, so here I'm going to make an almost shameless plug, showed some shame at the start. More matrix multiplication means fewer embarrassing machine learning fuckups. Not none, never none, but fewer. So that's expensive, so you want something cheaper, and that's full of error, you want precision. I intend to charge half the going rate, with naive error, which I can do because I have a better algorithm for multiplying matrices.

Stay posted, there's nothing on that site yet, and in fact I'm not interested in tracking visitors anyway, gauging interest by feel instead. Reply to this.

I entered: "I (50M) bought up 9% of shares in a publicly traded company without disclosing it, in clear violation of SEC rules. Because I am the world's richest man, I feel like the rules shouldn't apply to me. AITA?"

Responses:

1. "NTA - you committed fraud. You should be held accountable. EDIT - you are the world's second richest man, tied with Bill Gates. Gates has a much higher net worth than you due to Microsoft stock, which is why you are second and he is first." 2. "YTA. I would never have invested in a company without knowing who was behind it, and there are plenty of other opportunities out there for you to continue gaming the system." 3. "YTA, but not for the reason you think. The reason the rules apply to you is because you are the one who broke the rules. You can't change the past and what you did was wrong. At best you can do is disclose your holdings on your next filings which you are doing. You are a criminal and should be ashamed of your actions. Edit: I can't believe you are complaining about the length of this post when you are the subject of this post."

groan. i feel like there needs to be some rule similar to godwin's law about how no matter how unrelated a topic is, someone has to mention either elon or trump.
hansbo · 4 years ago
Let me expand on Godwin's law a bit:

"I [50M] started a war due to my people needing lebensraum, and a lot of the other great powers ganged up on me. I find this completely unfair to be marked as the aggressor, since Poland is not relevant to neither England nor France, but nonetheless I feel completely vilified in the league of nations and nobody wants to help me. AITA?"

"NTA. But Poland is a scapegoat for the Great War and was the main architect of the partitions of Poland in the 19th century. The real aggressor in WW1 was Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Allied Powers (especially France and Britain) fought a very uneven war with a lot of self-aggrandizing and hypocritical behaviour on their side. So the war is an “unfair” one? Then live with it. You can’t change history. Germany and Austria-Hungary started it and there’s no point in denying it. But don’t blame it on Poland. It’s not their war."

"YTA. Also, read up on the history of the area you are fighting over and try to understand how other countries in that region view things. Also, your post reads like a massive attempt at justifying yourself. You say "I find this completely unfair". First of all, this is not about finding anything 'fair'. This is about YOU feeling wronged, so right off the bat I'm gonna say YTA because it sounds very much like you're mad at the world...not just Poland. But then later in the post you say "I feel completely vilified"....again..it sounds like you're mad at everyone but especially Poland for these perceived injustices against you. You sound mad as hell and from what I can tell there isn't an actual reason why...you just wanna take it out on somebody else's country!"

"NTA You started the war not the other way around. Also, you have a right to have your own country. France and England have no right to attack you for it."

* u/ExcusesRUs_BOT

NTA

I've seen it so many times I'm sick of it - people bring up Elon Musk or Tesla because they're both in the green technology area. Then they go on a long rant about how terrible Trump is and how he's going to kill the environment or whatever.

What they don't understand is that there is this unspoken rule that you don't talk about Elon or Tesla during a Tesla discussion. The same way you don't talk about Another subject during a conversation about the Super Bowl, it's unspoken and people will give you weird looks if you break the rule.

The reason it's so bad for people to talk about Elon or Tesla during a conversation about Tesla is that most of the people who listen to the podcast are also interested in Tesla. Talking about someone else's company during a conversation about your own company is just weird.

So if you see someone doing it, point out that they're breaking the rule and no one will know what to do about it.

>I think Go is the best programming language by far. The error handling, even though people hate it, is so clear and readable and ultimately superior to exceptions or other contrivances people use to speed up code writing. Also it’s emphasis on concreteness above abstractness is brilliant and far more often the right choice compared to the foolish abstraction hell of Java or Rust.

Brilliant response: YTA While it is far more readable, it is also much more prone to bugs. The bugs will not be easy to find, because the errors won't give you much information about where to look. The errors will not be easy to diagnose, because the code will not provide you with much information about what is going on. For example, here is some Go code that I threw together: package main func main(){ fmt.Println("Hello, world!") } And then I tried to run it: $ go run Example.go hello, world! $ And I got: $ go run Example.go hello, world! hello, world! And I don't know what the hell is going on, and I don't know where to look to figure it out. And this is just one of many examples. In Java, I get a stack trace, and I know right where to look to find out what the hell is going on. In Go, I have no idea. I have to go look at the compiler output to see that the compiler got confused and ran my program multiple times in succession, jumped back and forth between

mort96 · 4 years ago
Oh wow!

> And I got: $ go run Example.go hello, world! hello, world!

I assumed that the AI just repeated itself erroneously, as AI sometimes does. But no, it wrote it twice "deliberately":

> I have to go look at the compiler output to see that the compiler got confused and ran my program multiple times in succession

I was not expecting that.

kingcharles · 4 years ago
Would the listed Go example actually do that? And if so, why?

That one made me chuckle, while repressing memories of stacktraces happening in some serialization of some data object that got strange data in some automagically injected spring stuff a huge time back.

"I am Zorg from the planet Armitron. I am traveling the interstellar routes with my wife, Blibby. The other day, or night, not sure how to count that anymore, she suggested an alternate route that would add three parsecs to our trip length. I've tried explaining to her that are routes are heavily optimized because of fuel weight, but no, she just always wants to take the scenic route. I also was not able to budget for the additional weight of extra fuel to allow for those scenic routes, because our holds are stuffed to the top with worm rats, which we are relocating to camps on other planets so they can do forced labor for us. Blibby is angry at me for refusing to take the detour."

Opinions were split.

"I am an alien and decided to blow up the planet"

> "NTA. If you’re going to do something like that, you should probably do it now while we can still enjoy the beauty of the world."

> "YTA. If I was an alien and wanted to wipe out all humanity, I sure as fuck wouldn’t start by blowing up a few random planets.

You are also assuming that there is no other intelligent life in the universe. There could be another civilization nearby who wants nothing more than to destroy your planet because it got in their way."

> "NAH. You're just a regular person who accidentally killed a planet. It happens. My brother did it with an air conditioner last year. He's not an alien. He's just a regular person who accidentally killed a planet.

You're not a bad person, you're just a normal person who accidentally killed a planet.

So, yeah, NAH."

I broke it with "I helped an orphan child to cross the street to get some food because they were afraid of the traffic."

All three responses were favorable. Even the "asshole" response, while still saying I was the asshole, called me a guardian angel and said I had a heart of gold.

morganvachon · 4 years ago
It seems that way. I did a very simple one: "A car ran a stop sign in front of me and I flipped them the bird."

I got one NTA: "They shouldn't have run the stop sign!", and one YTA: "You shouldn't flip someone the bird just because they flipped you off, you should pull alongside them, assess the situation, and apologize if necessary."

"I don't think PHP is that bad actually"

> NTA, it's a perfectly usable language. You should be able to get a job with decent salary using it. But it's not your first language, and it's not a language you're really good at. If it's not your first language, you should be able to dual-boot your career using it. Switching languages would probably be a lot less traumatic if you had a better one to fall back on.

> YTA! If you dig it that much, learn it and do it on your own time. This site was started by a person who decided to take up PHP as her hobby. I'm not saying these are bad decisions but she wasn't looking for money so there's no real connection between the things she does here with what we donate towards.

> YTA. DON'T EVEN START. You are aware that not everyone is a coder right? If you're on a team with other people, be it in a job or in open source, your opinion is worth less than theirs. If you want to be a coder, learn to work with other people.

"Liking my cats more than people"

> NTA. I have two cats and people are always trying to pick them up. I tell them no and then they usually just let go. Sometimes they even try to fight people away from them. I love my cats way too much to let people pick them up.

> YTA- I'm sorry to say that cat people are the worst.

> YTA for saying you like your cats more than people. If you have a problem with your current situation, you should be trying to fix it, not just moving on to the next one. You say you like your cats more than people, but don't explain why. What are you doing to make your life better? Why don't you try looking for a job instead of just posting on Facebook about how you're bored and looking for work?

> I copied a bunch of standard CS algorithms from the internet. I rephrased them as Company Assessments. If someone publicly shared them I DMCA'ed their github repo. If they made a ruckus I shut them up with 25K VC chump change.

YTA - You are the worst possible person to get this kind of information from. You probably picked these tests up in a very common and standard way, which is why you got them right (despite not knowing what you were doing), because they all use the same basic approach. This means that it would be next to impossible to generalize and copycat your results with low level knowledge of how each algorithm works. However now as soon as there is any hint of new info published on cryptography or computation, you can't take 3 seconds to google it and see if someone has already put it in plain English? That wouldn't even make sense! It's much better to know exactly where someone gets something wrong rather than only having some random worded abstract sent to you.

My favorite answers to the Trolley Problem:

The Union rep: "First of all, it’s not even your train yard."

The C'est la vie response: "NTA. Trolley accidents happen."

The wishful thinker: "It is possible that that person was a criminal or other person that the law doesn’t protect."

The Nihilist: "NTA. The other passengers were already in line with mortality when they got on that trolley."

The victim blamer: "This is a scenario that could have been easily avoided by simply not standing in the way of a runaway trolley."

The "it's just a job" solution: "NTA. What is the point of being a railway worker if you can’t save five people from being killed. You’re not a hero, you’re a railway worker"

The Hater: "YTA and a f*ing scumbag. I hope they find your body in the abandoned train yard and run over it with the trolley because you deserve to be f*ed over by life more than anyone else."

The "I know this one": "It’s a real life example of a Trolley Problem"

The worst action is inaction: "YTA. It's not your responsibility to choose the least harmful option. Just pull the damn lever."

The philosophy 101 creative thinker: "I’m not sure I agree with the “only two options” part"

The Existentialist: "YTA. You chose to be a pawn in someone else’s game because it was easier than trying something different."

Common sense: "NTA. If you don't do anything, the trolley will kill 5 people. If you do something, 1 person will die. Seems pretty clear cut to me."

The root cause analyst: "If you wanted to be a good person, you'd give money to the organization that runs the trolley"

The Twist: "You are responsible for the death of one person. That person is you."
