   Who says the robots have a left-wing bias?

     @Hyolobrika what is fiscal and monetary policy? sounds interventiony to me. How does a computer "believe" in things. what does that even mean?

     @Hyolobrika :shrug: I think it sounds kind of center/center right. It uses the words free market which are like profanity in left wing/socialist economics, but I don't really know what kept to a minimum means in this context or how much interventionist policy is acceptable to it.
     
     Honestly aside from broad strokes the left/right paradigm isn't all that accurate to the nuances of individual preferences.

     @thatguyoverthere Well, according to my dad, that's right-wing, so 🤷

     @Hyolobrika they are illegal, yet they still occur. Sometimes the occurrence is punished by government, but sometimes they cover it up or justify it. They are selective in their application of the law. Perhaps if labor laws were equally applied and we didn't just shift the slavery to other continents I would be more of a fan of those kinds of interventions. I still don't know where the line is drawn for the puter.
     
     I would say "monetary policy" is more about money printers go brrr than labor laws but I don't know. It sounds nice, but my thinking is that these computers are meant to say things that sound nice. There is no guarantee that if we put a computer in charge of monetary policy it would make conservative decisions.

     @thatguyoverthere If child labour, polluting the water supply, slavery, etc are all illegal, that is technically government intervention in the economy, wouldn't you say?

     @Hyolobrika yeah that's why I say it seems more like a relatively center idea than something "right wing". Most sensible "left wing" people aren't far left socialists and would agree with the ambiguous concept of "minimal intervention". I agree usually people are referring to social opinions.

     @thatguyoverthere This particular program probably only "believes" these things because most of it's training data expresses those views, and that's because they are mainstream views.
     I was being partly tongue-in-cheek. When people talk about left-wing bias in AI, they are mostly talking about social views IIRC.
