There's some initial evidence that the models actually gravitate toward consensus views, expert opinion, sometimes a jaded or hallucinated version of what the consensus really is.
But Claude or ChatGPT is probably less polarizing than Blue Sky or Twitter.
Yeah, look, for me...
I don't think a person should have a correlated stance on taxes and abortion and Gaza and the free market and whatever else.
Partisanship is a very powerful force to squish this very complicated array of political issues we have in the United States into just one dimension, blue versus red or left versus right.
social media twitter in particular i think is a very effective mechanism for that and i get i get totally yelled at for um any bit of heterodoxy like in particular like saying biden is obviously too old democrats you're gonna you're gonna lose unless you replace him like that even though it's a stance that like literally 80 percent of voters agree with will make you like seem like a heretic on twitter i've been critical by the way of

It's about frustrating.
Yeah, I mean, it's very... Look, I actually think the 4U algorithm is pretty decent for what it is.
You do have to train it.
Like, you know, for a while I got a bunch of, like, fight videos because they're compelling.
You see, like, a fight of teenagers and, like, oh, I spent eight minutes, seconds watching this or whatever else, right?
It's terrible.
If you click, don't show me this anymore, it is pretty responsive and it is pretty good.
Like the algorithm knows right now, I just want to read tweets about the World Cup and is Giannis getting traded, right?
And maybe a little bit about the New York and California elections.
