I saw a big drama about a new AI word game.
People said it was ethical AI, that it was "harmless" and "just for fun" and didn't infringe on anyone.

You play it by combining two words to make a new word, e.g "Water" + "Fire" makes "Steam", "Shark" + "Hurricane" makes "Sharknado", etc.

I went to play it myself and sure enough, it seemed harmless and the endless combinations were fun.

Then I found that "Palestine" + "Child" makes "Terrorist".

It reminded me of the writings of @timnitGebru and how she warned us about this kind of harm.

The underlying LLM (Meta AI's LLaMA) doesn't know who Palestinian children are. It doesn't know they're dying en masse from bombings and starvation. It's only regurgitating propaganda that associates them with terrorism.

Are there other racist biases hidden inside this AI? Will other apps built on top of LLaMA inherit and reinforce this racism?

@Eralea What comes to my mind: Israel is doing so much that gaza civilians go to the safe areas, everyone knows, the building where a rocket is startet, will be destroyed. Hamas don't give the hostages free (There are still ~130 held in captive). Palestinians don't want ceasefire. Did you feel sorry for the brutally stabbed babies of October 7th or the babies used from Hamas as human shield and scarified to their dream to erase a nation?

@e_es

Lies and lies again, you propaganda guys are everywhere, you're justifying genocides, there are no safe zones, there were no beheaded babies, why focus on October 7th while not seeing the 5 months of massacres that followed, wake the fuck up now.

@aokami Which lies? I did not like war. Every death person is a tragedy.

I condemn attacks and raids on foreign territory. That is war. An attack leads one to expect a reaction. Ukraine is fighting Russia. Israel Hamas.

Action and reaction.

@e_es
We agree on one thing, every death is tragedy.
I don't want to engage in that argument, it's not the place either.
It just seems you're picking a side based on moral arguments, it's a reaction, right to defend at war.

30k+ casualties, every place designed as evac zone bombed, 1.7m ppl displaced, and starving, aid blockades, not directly related countries bombed.
Am I biased? Probably, but this is no war, it's a genocide, this has to end now.

@aokami Yes last Message:

Someone did not want peace. Someone searches to destroy a nation. Someone could end the war by release of all hostages. Someone did not want a ceasefire.
