??1/ BREAKING: Our investigation has revealed a 'partnership' between the world's biggest tech companies to together rig AI to be woke. The partnership explicitly cites Karl Marx and Critical Race Theory in their plans. MUST READ: ??
2/ Many have noticed that AI today has a distinct woke, leftist bias. Systems like ChatGPT and Bard have taken clear positions on political and social issues. This is very concerning. As @elonmusk put it "The danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly."
3/ However, an investigation by AAF has uncovered a serious contributor to this trend: the @PartnershipAI. In 2016, Amazon, Google, Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft founded the "Partnership on AI," later joined by Apple, the Ford Foundation, OpenAI, IBM, Adobe, the ACLU, and others.
4/ According to the Partnership's former Chief of Staff @sjgadler (who now works at OpenAI - maker of ChatGPT) Big Tech firms which are usually competitors formed the Partnership because none of them had the "political capital" to get away with doing what they want to do alone.
5/ According to the Partnership, “we need to be sensitive to the possibility that there are hidden assumptions and biases in data, and therefore in the systems built from that data" partnershiponai.org/about/#mission

6/ In 2022, the Partnership published a “Making AI Inclusive” white paper.. According to the paper, “These principles build upon the work of many thought leaders in the fields of Indigenous AI, feminist HCI, crip technoscience, data justice, and critical race theory who have...
7/ ...far more substantial publications discussing the importance of these dimensions.”

8/ In one workshop on "Algorithmic Fairness," a Partnership researcher (who now works on AI at @Sony), @alicexiang, warned that their "techniques" could be "interpreted from a legal perspective as being forms of 'affirmative action'" and recommended ways to get away with it.
9/ At another workshop on "data colonialism", Professor Nick Couldry stated that "code's operations necessarily reproduce the neocolonial conditions of the their creation"
10/ Couldry also told tech firms that AI developers should follow the teachings of Karl Marx.
11/ At a workshop titled "Towards a Critical Race Methodology for Algorithmic Fairness", Google AI scientist Emily Denton - who appears to have become "Remi" Denton (they/them) - said that AI must "focus on the processes of racism" instead of accepting facts about different races
12/ "They/them" also claimed that "race is central to algorithmic fairness"
13/ Not surprisingly, the companies that founded and bankroll the Partnership follow its recommendations.
@Microsoft's (which is backing OpenAI) website blames white men for AI being "biased"

14/ At @Meta, "In the context of AI, our Responsible AI team has developed and is continually improving our Fairness Flow tools and processes to help our ML engineers detect certain forms of potential statistical bias in certain types of AI models"
https://ai.facebook.com/blog/facebooks-five-pillars-of-responsible-ai/ https://archive.ph/OSN5a
15/ According to @Google's website, "AI has the potential to worsen existing societal challenges — such as unfair bias"
https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-responsible-ai-io-2023/ https://archive.ph/VOUnp
16/ Google also says "Addressing fairness, equity, and inclusion in AI is an active area of research, from fostering an inclusive workforce... to assessing training datasets for potential sources of unfair bias... Google is committed to making progress in all of these areas."

18/ The woke don’t sleep and never miss an opportunity to seize more power. It is vital that the American people are made aware of what is happening before it is too late.

>This post is about the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) headed by Lina Khan, a Biden appointee, and their incredibly aggressive pursuit of Elon Musk and Twitter
>As detailed below, the FTC has engaged in conduct so irregular and improper that Ernst & Young (“EY”) the independent assessor designated under a consent order between Twitter and the FTC to evaluate the company’s privacy, data protection, and information security program “felt as if the FTC was trying to influence the outcome of the engagement before it had started.”
>These efforts included dictating to EY “very specific types of procedures that they expected” EY to perform and “[conveying] expectations … about what th[e] results should be before [EY] had even begun any procedures.”
>A private litigant who engaged in such conduct might well be facing charges of witness tampering. As the Plaintiff in this civil enforcement action, the FTC should not receive preferential treatment. There simply is no way to square the striking record of bias recounted above, along with other evidence described in this motion, with any semblance of the impartiality, due process, or equitable conduct that the law requires from administrative agencies like the FTC when they act pursuant to court-authorized and -supervised consent orders.
