  • It’s not an article about LLMs not using dialects. In fact, they have learned said dialects and will use them if asked.

    What they did was, ask the LLM to suggest adjectives associated with sentences - and it would associate more aggressive or negative adjectives with African dialect.

    Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

    All (racial) bias in AI models is actually a reflection of the training data, not of the modelling.








  • On the one hand, doas is simpler. Less code means less bugs, and lower chance someone manages to hack it and gain admin rights. On the other hand, sudo is more popular, and so has a lot more people double-checking its security. Ultimately, I don’t think it matters - when someone unauthorized gains admin rights, usually it’s not due to bug in sudo or doas, but other problems.

    1. It’s not just a stretch, but a huge leap, to claim that using “he” or “she” counts as “instruction […] on sexual orientation or gender identity”.
    2. And even if you did manage that, you also have to argue that it’s also “not age appropriate”.
    3. And if you managed that as well somehow, you have the problem that judges can take into account things like the intent of the lawmakers, and what’s reasonable, not just the raw text of the law.
