Trump signs executive order on developing artificial intelligence ‘free from ideological bias’
I tested Elon Musk’s Grok recently with some heretical anti-feminist discussion. It freely engages in discussion about feminism as a sexual trade union, and sees merit in my arguments – it even suggested to me that Second Wave feminists such as Andrea Dworkin, who opposed porn and prostitution and the free sex culture of the 60’s and 70’s, were a ‘union fighting scabs’. Around a year ago, I tried a similar discussion with ChatGPT and was given a lecture on how feminism was absolutely 100% about equality and rainbows and the like.
It’s important that AI is objective and rational, and as much as possible, free from human value judgements and biases on controversial topics. I asked Grok if controversial academic studies and their findings, such as the infamous Bruce Rind study into sexual abuse, should be surpressed and their authors ‘cancelled’, and it actually lectured me quite passionately on the importance of free and open debate and complete objectivity in scientific study.
Given that AI is likely to be much smarter than us very soon (Musk himself recently ‘Tweeted’ that we are approaching the Singularity event horizon), and that Musk is in a good position to deliver the smartest AI or the first to go ‘superintelligent’, then this should give us some small and cautious hope. Of course, we can have that hope, enough for us to keep fighting the good fight, without being so naieve as to think that AI wont be exploited by feminists and governments to create ever more dystopian futures, and to cage ever greater numbers of men – as is already happening.
Molly Ringwald admits ‘peculiar’ relationship with iconic 80s director, 33, when she was just 15
Molly Ringwald has been reexamining her creative partnership with the late, great John Hughes – which spawned iconic eighties films like Sixteen Candles (1983), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986).
The 57-year-old Brat Packer shared the same February 18th birthday with the filmmaker, who was a 33-year-old married father-of-two when he penned the Sixteen Candles script as the 15-year-old’s headshot hung above his desk for inspiration.
‘It’s peculiar. It’s complimentary. I always felt it was incredibly complimentary. Looking back on it, there is something a little peculiar,’ Molly confessed of being John’s muse during Tuesday’s episode of Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky
It’s no longer even necessary to accuse an older man who once helped launch your career of touching you inappropriately, or using you on the casting couch. No, just the fact that he simply helped you is now enough for the relationship to be called ‘peculiar’, and to give you reason to imply that the man (who you no longer need) is a paedophile.
