    People often forget, the first LLMs were trained on a scrape of most surface sites; this includes places like 4chan and ED.

    To suggest LLMs are racist is to over-personify. To suggest an LLM’s outputs amplify the views of such sites however…

      It’s like saying the kid spouting racist remarks isn’t racist, it was just raised by racist parents.

      They do deserve some of the hate for spouting racist remarks.

      These views are not from 4Chan but American think-tanks like Rand institute or Washington institute for near east policy and the systemic Islamophobic propaganda they spread. And their Hollywood amplifiers.

      Movies like American Sniper weren’t made by 4Chan. They only internalize the Western propaganda and hatred. https://youtu.be/puxbiEf654c

      It’s important people understand that these views aren’t accidental but purposely created racism.

      A very important distinction

      It’s like when I say that the US gets what it deserves

      That’s at a societal level, not an individual one

      And it also doesn’t mean that I think it’s a good thing. I wish 'Murica wasn’t monumentally fucked
