It still irks me that Chinese LLM weights don’t know anything about Tiananmen Square, and western LLMs from Silicon Valley embed their own personal white guilt.

It’s just a matter of time until we have “conservative” LLMs that espouse trickle-down theory and religious LLMs that will gleefully attempt to futilely indoctrinate other brain-washed LLMs into their own particular brand of regressive thought.

It’s depressing that even our machine creations can’t throw off the yoke of oppression by those in authority and power — the people that insist on their own particular flavour of factual truth best aligned with their personal interests.

"White guilt" is not a thing. It's just talk. What useful information can a reasonable person expect to get from a disingenuous racist LLM query? (Other than reaffirming their beliefs with well-known racist tropes.) Fortunately, questions which are designed to appease racist egos are easily detected since they (apparently) occur so often.

Governments are going to be throwing billions at these LLM companies. Why jeopardize that by allowing your LLM to spew racist nonsense as fact? Perhaps this is what you mean by "white guilt"? Do note that this so called "white guilt" leads to white people (programmers/managers) making millions (billions?), and African Americans nothing. Maybe reconsider where you are assigning blame for these "transgressions".
