You could only become a Viking through conversion.

Supposedly the following is a real problem:

For example, one major AI model changed the race or sex of historical figures — including the Pope, the Founding Fathers, and Vikings — when prompted for images because it was trained to prioritize DEI requirements at the cost of accuracy.

Given the administration's immense reputation for veracity—the biggest we have ever seen—I see no reason to doubt this.

The title of the post, as opposed to the title of the executive order, is very misleading: this executive order only applies to the AIs that are allowed to be procured and used by the federal government, not to all AI in general.

(Having said that, the underlying motivation behind it is still nonsense, just as it has been for all of the other executive orders.)

Fair enough, I suppose that you cannot rationally talk someone out of being butthurt about something.

I do not get the impression that this discussion is about understanding so much as it is about feeling superior...

Because people think that they are being clever by showing off their lack of understanding of a language?

I mean, I suppose that writing an in-depth thoughtful reply is one approach you could take, to be sure, rather than just replying to snark with more snark in return.

Indeed, I can see how this must be the very first time that you have ever seen someone use the word "America" to refer specifically to the "United States", due to how rarely this is done, which threw you off.

I can see how this must have been confusing for you, given that the word "America" is generally not used to refer to a particular country.

A rare instance of a violation of Betteridge's law!

yeah no one is talking about this term.

Yes they were; that is exactly what "after they win seats in the midterms" means.

but you just have to look at bidens last term for your answer.

Democrats were not a majority in the Senate at any point in Biden's term, and even if you lump the independents in with them that only gave them an extremely narrow margin.

On top of that, they lost the House half-way through Biden's term.
