Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful Models
A directive from the National Institute of Standards and Technology eliminates mention of “AI safety” and “AI fairness.”

While I do prefer absolute free speech for individuals, I have no illusions about what Trump is saying behind closed doors: "Make it like me, and everything that I do." I don't want an government to decide for me and others what is right.
Also, science, at least the peer reviewed stuff, should be considered free of bias. Real world mechanics, be it physics or biology, can't be considered biased. We need science, because it makes life better. A false science, such as phrenology or RFK's la-la-land ravings, needs to be discarded because it doesn't help anyone. Not even the believers.
Reality has a liberal bias.
Historically liberals have always been right and eventually won.
Got rid of slavery. Got women's rights. Got Gay rights. Etc.
Lol. Ok, I've never heard this take, but everyone perceives history based on what they have learned.
Also, it was the left that didn't want to abolish slavery or give women rights.

I simply cannot imagine how anyone could be so stupid that they'd read or hear this and repeat it without looking into if it's true or not (it's not), yet there are so many idiots, typically Americans, just as stupid or possibly stupider than you on the internet spouting obvious propaganda that this level of idiocy must be pretty common in the States.
Ah, it's makes sense, you're a forienger. You get grace.
Science is not about government, or right and left, or free speech. It’s just science. It’s about individuals spending their lives studying a specific subject. Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say. I shudder to think what might have happened during the polio outbreak under today's U.S politicians.
Edit: In support of your comment.
Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say.
Some ethical guidelines are very important though. We usually don't want to conduct potentially deadly experiments on humans for example.
I'd say science is about finding truth by rejecting untruths.
A fundamental question is whether there is such a thing as objective truth. I'd argue yes. Magas would probably say no (at least I know one who gave that answer). To them there's only your version of reality vs theirs.
That's why they invent and choose to believe untruths, because they believe they can invent truth rather than find it.
I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.
