@11112011 What?
Nice nice nice
just added the "Christian Nazi" attack @Boo hurled at me to my bio
@igel@jaeger.website I've known this for awhile, but I got bored and decided to look at one of the heavy handed type admin's block lists. That was depressing. The good thing is that they essentially isolate themselves. Hopefully if the instance blocks get real bad you may see users jump ship to a less heavy handed instance thus exposing them to what they were missing. The way I see it, instance politics is more likely to move toward openness than mass isolation. Those who isolate hurt themselves and their users more than anyone else.
@alex How dare you be friends with someone!
@pasture
Am I in your blocklist? Lol

Not in the sense of "the AI has beliefs about white supremacy", but yes in the sense that AI systems can be used to deliberately or accidentally perpetuate racism (also sexism, ableism, etc.). The books "Weapons of Math Destruction" and "Technically Wrong" enumerate many examples.
One small example is the "racist soap dispenser", which astonishingly has been developed more than once:

There's no reason to believe that a person (or AI) *decided* to behave this way. It's much more likely that the development team and the training data were both devoid of dark skin.
