Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

You would think the obvious solution to "the volunteer-powered project we all train our AI models on for free isn't adequately twisting reality to our political views" would be "... and so we stopped training on it" and not "... and so we will force the volunteers to bend to our will"

@dmarti I've read that in other parts of this thread.
Could also be that the key word here is *good* knowledge source.
Just because they *try* to build a “conservative” encyclopedia doesn't mean that it's comprehensive enough to get a usable LLM out of it.
(Also I will never understand why the respectable conservatives that once existed do not do more against their wing of society being drawn into *this*.)
@HeptaSean @molly0xfff There is already a "Conservapedia" which is "written from a self-described American conservative and fundamentalist Christian point of view" so they could always go train their LLMs on that. Maybe their problem isn't that the thing they want doesn't exist, but more that they want the thing that other people want to not exist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia
