This seems insane. I think there must be part of the story we're not hearing.

Not saying I'd agree with it even with the whole story, I don't know, but I am dubious of this being the full story, because in fact communities are not _that_ crazy.

this fact may not in fact be a fact

we absolutely did this to protect the scala community and we weren't scared and didn't jump the gun. People had been talking about him as being problematic for years before the open letter

"problematic"

bravo on the careful word choice, good luck on avoiding another libel suit

I run the cheaper self hostable OpenAI alternative https://text-generator.io I've been working on automating this manual verification of everything, with a few components we already have like a search engine and an edit API we can both detect and correct most of these errors to at least be reflective of what a reliable source says like Wikipedia, still a lot of reasoning, logic and math issues will remain, but there's a big step up coming soon in factual generation

chatgpt outputting credible bs is EXCELLENT to the extent that it will push intelligent people into critical reading of everything around them - "[citation needed]" et al.

lazy people will just suck it up, "experts / AI said so!"

> I think it comes in a situation that isn't great, but not so bad that it warranted drastic decisions: people are organically generating mountains of BS online everyday, including on blogs, official looking news sites etc.

Indeed, ChatGPT produces bullshit because that’s the bullshit it’s been trained on.

chatgpt also produces bullshit because openai has explicitly and deliberately lobotomized it against politically incorrect output

Not in public California universities. Racial discrimination has been banned in California public university since Proposition 209 was passed in 1996.

> Racial discrimination has been banned in California

someone should send a memo to remind countless california institutions who nevertheless persist

Freedom is defined differently in different countries, in New Zealand the general rule is you have freedom to do what you want as long as it doesn't impact on the freedom of others.

Therefore, you can have freedom of speech but you can't live stream a terror attack, which is what happened. A foreign terrorist live streamed an attack on Facebook.

Despite this, NZ ranks as the second freest country in the world, and has much less censorship than other countries like the US who don't even crack the top 10.

live streaming a terror attack does not "impact on the freedom of others"
