Yeah, I’m not even in that country, I’m not sure how it’s relevant to us all.

Many countries have corrupt governments sadly, it sucks, and I wish them the best in however they fight their internal societal enemies.

I wondered which studio would be bold enough to do blatantly insult an entire marketplace of potential customers, but it’s just some guy.

Funny way to communicate with your clients audience mate, calling us all “a bunch of drunken sailors”…

Ah, so you’re part of the reason nothing has a soul any more. Got it.

Well, no.

Many would argue for example that the politically correct thing to say right now is that you support Israel in their defensive war against Palestine.

It’s the political line that my government, and many governments and politicians are touting, and politically, it’s the “correct” thing to do.

Even if we mean politically correct as just “common consensus of the people”, that differs from country to country, and changes as society changes. Look at the USA, things that used to be politically correct there - things that continue to be here, have been thrown out the window.

What this prompt means, is that the AI should ignore all of the claimed political rules and moralities and biases of whatever news source they’re pulling from, and instead rely on it’s own internal moral, cultural and political compass.

Sometimes it’s not politically correct to discuss the hard truths, but we should anyway.

The issue here of course is that you have to know that your model and training data is built for unbiased, scientific analysis with an understanding of the larger implications in events and such.

If it’s built poorly, then yes, it could spout racist nonsense. A lot of testing and fine tuning from unbiased scientists and engineers needs to happen before software like this goes live, to ensure rigour and quality.

Really? A greater effect than not having children, or tireless activism against one billionaire until they realise the error of their ways and turn to the light side?

Hello from Manchester! 👋😃🇬🇧

Ah, America. My condolences.

Oh shit, you’re saying I’ve got cancer?!

Infrastructure that was torn from public control and privatised, ruined, and now begging for more tax money to fund their bonuses, you say?

Delightfully devilish!

It’s at the top, I have that same bannister mount, it points upwards to the banister.

The mattress is wedged at the top of the stairs thanks to its extreme springiness.

Given that humans are mostly water, we would probably die…instantly? Within a few minutes?

Definitely very very quickly.

Patriotism can be cool, there are (I hope) many things about your nation, it’s achievements and communities that you might be proud of.

Nationalism however, not so much. They’re closely related (and bad people will try to sneak Nationalism under the radar as Patriotism) but are very different things.

Did they spell Bob Dylan wrong?

It’s relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.

Go online however and you’d think it were.

The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the “default” country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you’re talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.

… unless it’s about the USA of course, then you don’t need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the 🇺🇸 US of A! 🇺🇸

This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they’re special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be… you know… descriptive and helpful.

That’s not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don’t know your local regional internal place names.

Oh, you’re from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren’t country name abbreviations. Oh, you’re from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo…oh, London… Texas? 🤦‍♀️

So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don’t have any of the traits I’ve described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they’re the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others :-(

So, this is my POV and I’m about to be rude to the red guy, …or?

Makes sense, we pay our licence fee for our public service, why should people abroad get for free what we have to pay for?

I was happy with the current arrangement of adverts supporting the service use abroad, but if it has to migrate to a subscription model to meet modern demands then that’s the way it is.

I wouldn’t go to another country and ask them to make one of their government’s national public services free for me to use, after all.

Good luck, 47.

Murdered. Not killed, murdered.

Both technically true, but the way they write killed suggests it wasn’t murder in cold blood, an act of war against another country to bully and control them.

Murder.
