I think they meant "core values of state capitalism"

Weird that they want it to follow a system contrary to their own

Maybe the AI will set the Chinese people free

Wouldn't AI doing that conflict with the core values of China? Since it would actively be going against the oligarchic control of the CCP members.

The idea that an AI can even have core values- or values (and I'm not talking boolean).

[–] mikkL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would argue every technology represents the values of its creators. The fact that Meta hid the toxicity of Instagram and let their practices continue reflect their values in their product.

Not that I agree at all with the Chinese government, but I think it makes a lot of sense to regulate and give developers a direction - or moral compass. EU does it as well.

Yeah there is tech out there that reflects the core values of socialism, that’s what FOSS is.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

AI absolutely has values. It's based on the source material you feed it, so anything in that source material is passed along to the AI. If you fed an AI solely fascist material, the AI would reflect fascist views and ideology.

It is my assumption that they mean that the AI should not espouse capitalist thought, and should wherever possible promote socialism and socialist reason.

"I'm sorry, but as an AI i can't justify harvesting organs from prisoners, genociding uyghurs or illegally occupying Tibet"
"Fuck me, better run it through another revision"

"I'm sorry, Pooh, I'm afraid I can't do that."
