JUST IN – Meta (aka Facebook) unleashes "next-gen AI supercomputer" that will "identify harmful content" and more.

Facebook built an AI hatespeech detector and it started censoring people who hate whites and men.
You’re supposed to hate whites and men, so that needed tweaking.
From Meta’s newsroom:
Today we’re introducing the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which we believe is among the fastest AI supercomputers running today and will be the fastest in the world once fully built out in mid-2022. AI can currently perform tasks like translating text between languages and helping identify potentially harmful content, but developing the next generation of AI will require powerful supercomputers capable of quintillions of operations per second.
RSC will help Meta’s AI researchers build better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples; work across hundreds of different languages; seamlessly analyze text, images and video together; develop new augmented reality tools and more. Ultimately, the work done with RSC will pave the way toward building technologies for the next major computing platform — the metaverse, where AI-driven applications and products will play an important role.
…
With RSC, we can more quickly train models that use multimodal signals to determine whether an action, sound or image is harmful or benign. This research will not only help keep people safe on our services today, but also in the future, as we build for the metaverse. As RSC moves into its next phase, we plan for it to grow bigger and more powerful, as we begin laying the groundwork for the metaverse.
It’s good to know whites are finally the target.
In 2017, Geordie Rose of Kindred AI described these artificial intelligences as Lovecraftian entities.
From the YouTube video above:
(…) These things that we’re building are not going to be people. They might be really smart, they might be really good at all sorts of different things, but they’re not gonna be like us. They’re gonna be aliens, and they’re gonna be—I’m sorry to say—way smarter than every single person in this room in ways that we can’t even comprehend. So this of course triggers a lot of alarm. One of the guys who talks about this is Elon who says things like this like when you do this beware because you think, just like the guy in the stories, that when you do this you’re gonna put that that that little guy in a pentagram and you’re gonna have your holy water out and you’re gonna wave it at the thing and by god it’s gonna do exactly what you say and not one thing more. But it never works out that way. So this is an attitude that some are having, this emerging alarmism about the way this is gonna go.
But this word, “demons,” doesn’t capture the essence of what’s happening here.
I don’t know if any of you are turn-of-the-century weird fiction fans but there’s this guy named HP Lovecraft who’s a very famous American weird fiction author and he exposed a hue which is called cosmicism and the essence of cosmicism is cosmic indifference so he what he was saying is basically yes there are these massively intelligent entities out there but they’re not good they’re not evil they just don’t give a shit about you even in the slightest. The same way you don’t care about an ant is the same way they’re not gonna care about you, and these things that were summoning into the world now are not demons they’re not evil but they’re more like the Lovecraftian great old ones there are entities that are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want so this transition is really really massively important for our entire species to navigate, and going back to that thing that Sam Harris was saying nobody is paying attention this thing is happening in the background while people bicker about politics and what what’s gonna be in the health care plan in the US and underneath it all is this rising tsunami that if we’re not careful is going to wipe us all out.
They’re attacking you from fronts you didn’t even know existed.
Alex Jones was right.
