It's gotten to the point that actual left-leaning news websites have written multiple articles criticizing the bunkum spewed about how awful it is that white people bellydance or wear bindis. I've actually got into debates with an astounding number of people who do use it to complain about frivolous things like white people wearing kimonos or Native American jewelry, and sometimes I manage to get my point through but a lot of it ends in "shut up you white POS you don't know anything" even though, hilariously, I'm not even white. Or go to fullchan, hotwheels victory over warmwheels just cements that fullchan is better than halfchan.Įh, from personal experience I can say it's definitely way more than a handful of people using the phrase "cultural appropriation" unironically, even if most of them are overapplying it. Just go here, 4chan has only been good for lurking and image hosting for years now. They have a decent /co/ board that's cozy as fuck, and there's less thought policing.Īlso for some reason I've noticed lately SJWs are abandoning +4 as well, maybe because of low userbase? baw/ used to have more than one post per hour before the bearcaust. However most of the solid people like Maya and Squid moved on with their life, Bea got infected by SJW virus, and people started being banned for hurting feelings. I got called "gweilo" by a chinese person there for the first time in my life. There was even an /n/ board that was 90% racist trolling and 10% unironic racism.
Ironically plus4chan was a haven of free speech back when 4chan was banning people for saying jew and worldfiltering nigger to african american. Many forum members only noticed one of the bots, according to Kilcher, and the model created enough wariness that people accused each other of being bots days after Kilcher deactivated them.Save file image: 142198461700.jpg ( 86kB, 800圆00, warmwheels (aka tepidwheels).jpg) >396110 The AI made a few mistakes, such as blank posts, but was convincing enough that it took roughly two days for many users to realize something was amiss. Nicknamed GPT-4chan (after OpenAI's GPT-3), the model learned to not only pick up the words used in /pol/ posts, but an overall tone that Kilcher said blended "offensiveness, nihilism, trolling and deep distrust." The video creator took care to dodge 4chan's defenses against proxies and VPNs, and even used a VPN to make it look like the bot posts originated from the Seychelles. They represented more than 10 percent of posts on /pol/ that day, Kilcher claimed. In the space of 24 hours, the bots wrote 15,000 posts that frequently included or interacted with racist content. After implementing the model in ten bots, Kilcher set the AI loose on the board - and it unsurprisingly created a wave of hate. As Motherboard and The Verge note, YouTuber Yannic Kilcher trained an AI language model using three years of content from 4chan's Politically Incorrect (/pol/) board, a place infamous for its racism and other forms of bigotry. Microsoft inadvertently learned the risks of creating racist AI, but what happens if you deliberately point the intelligence at a toxic forum? One person found out.
