#6 Forseeable Outcomes

CARL JONATHAN RAFAEL PETTERSSON DISSTRACK

Guten Morgen, Brasilien! Hoje em dia tudo virou ofensa. Violência. Discurso de ódio. Fake news. Milícia digital. E o governo está bastante preocupado com isso. Será que é porque o governo quer o nosso bem? Os políticos estão preocupados com a verdade? O Estado resolveu incluir entre suas atribuições burocráticas também uma preocupação com nossos sentimentos? Flavio Morgenstern explica o truque no seu podcast preferido.

Tudo o que estamos testemunhando é apenas uma narrativa tosca para aumentar o sentido das palavras de maneira artificial. Tudo vira ofensa. Tudo é violência. Tudo é extrema direita. Tudo é ataque. Tudo é antidemocrático. Tudo é algo "perigoso".

E como combatemos coisas perigosas? Exatamente: aumentando e concentrando ainda mais o poder dos já poderosos. Criando um Estado policial. Abrindo as portas da ditadura. Destruindo as parcas liberdades da democracia liberal e criando um Leviatã moderno milhares de vezes pior.

Flavio Morgenstern explica a manobra lingüística aplicada pelos nossos tiranetes e também como as pessoas estão ficando cada vez mais estúpidas enquanto se sentem cada vez mais ofendidas - e INVENTANDO ofensas para garantir que terão mais poder de calar discordantes e inimigos.

O grande problema: censura não tem mira, é uma granada numa sala fechada...

Não se esqueça de nos dar um nosso PIX para continuarmos ofendendo por aí! Chave: flaviomorgen@sensoincomum.org

127: Por que tudo virou ofensa?

The song is about the rampant populism in Finland and its side effects, including hate speech and other forms of harassment by adults on the internet.In Finland, the phenomenon is associated with a right-wing populist party, to which the song's title kind of refers:

Pienet vihreät feministit ohjaavat Marsista
mediaa vihervasemmistolaisten vallassa
tiedettä, taidetta, leikkelehyllyjä
kaikkea mitä en kannata tai kannatan

Työttömät tyhjäntoimittajat joita halveksin
silti hämmästyttävästi omaavat valtavan vallan
hallitsevat maailmaa, käsieni vapinaa
uhkaavat turvallista olotilaa sohvan pohjalla

        Aina on puolensa valittava
	erotettava mustasta valkea
	viha elämän majakkana
	polarisoitava koko maailma
		
		Vastustan vaikka luonnonlakeja
		jos niitä puolustaa Elokapina
		Olen valmis vaikka itseni surmaamaan
		jos Sanna Marin vain sitä vastustaa
		
                Tietoa en osaa erottaa
		mielipiteestä, iskulauseesta
		pelkään tietää, siis tahdon vain uskoa		
                ja näen vain sen mikä vahvistaa uskoa

        Aina on puolensa valittava
	keskustelusta vääristää väittelyä
	viha elämän majakkana
	polarisoitava koko maailma
	
        Ivallisuuden innoittama
	katkeruuden ja kaunan kruunaama
	viholliskuvani kehyksissä
	pelolla maalattuna makaa elämä

		Vastustan vaikka luonnonlakeja
		jos niitä puolustaa Elokapina
		Olen valmis vaikka itseni surmaamaan
		jos Sanna Marin vain sitä vastustaa
		
                Tietoa en osaa erottaa
		mielipiteestä, iskulauseesta
		pelkään tietää, siis tahdon vain uskoa		
 ja tiedän vain sen mikä tukee tätä uskoa

			Suomineito, käsi poikki hakattuna ojaan loikki
			lumihankeen ajettuna koska kehittyä koitti
			lähden perään hillumaan, kirveen kanssa killun vaan
			puuhun takas kiipeän, karvaa alan kasvattaa
                        itseäni tunnista en enää peilikuvasta
                        en langanpäätä löydä, koska triggeröidyn kaikesta
			puhetaidon unohdin, siis öykkäröin ja öyhötän 
                        hymyillä en osaa, joten katso kuinka irvistän

🎙️ Welcome to "AI with Shaily," hosted by Shailendra Kumar, your trusted source for the latest and most insightful updates on artificial intelligence! Today’s episode dives into a critical and complex topic that blends technology, ethics, and society: how large language models (LLMs) like GPT handle sensitive and challenging discourse such as hate speech. 🤖🧠

Shailendra highlights a recent, thought-provoking essay by Dr. Emily Barrow DeJeu from Carnegie Mellon University, which sheds light on the limitations of these powerful AI systems. While LLMs excel at generating human-like text, they often struggle with the subtle nuances of racialized hate speech. This includes difficulties in understanding cultural contexts, power dynamics, and emotional layers embedded in hateful or discriminatory language. 🧩⚠️

A key takeaway from Dr. DeJeu’s research—and echoed by other studies from Carnegie Mellon—is the necessity of human-AI collaboration. AI tools can assist in detecting and moderating content, but they cannot replace the critical human judgment required to accurately interpret sensitive topics. Hate speech isn’t just about spotting keywords; it’s about comprehending deep societal tensions and historical backgrounds that AI isn’t fully capable of grasping yet. 🤝👥

Why does this matter beyond the tech world? Because these conversations are unfolding against a backdrop of rising global challenges like populism and threats to liberal democracy. Misinterpreting or overlooking hate speech can worsen social divides. Using LLMs without careful human oversight risks amplifying biases and causing real-world harm. 🌍⚖️

Shailendra shares a personal story from his experience in AI customer service automation, where early models mistakenly flagged culturally nuanced complaints as offensive—false positives that frustrated users and damaged trust. This experience underscored the importance of context and empathy, qualities AI alone cannot replicate. 💡🙅‍♂️

For AI enthusiasts and developers, Shailendra offers a crucial tip: always include a strong human review process when deploying AI to analyze or moderate sensitive content. This approach not only enhances safety but also promotes more ethical and accurate outcomes. ✔️🛡️

To close, Shailendra poses a reflective question to the audience: As AI evolves, how can society balance leveraging AI’s efficiency with preserving the essential human insights that maintain our social fabric? He quotes computer scientist Fei-Fei Li: “The future of AI is not AI alone; it’s human-centered AI.” This powerful statement reminds us that the true strength of AI lies in partnership with humans, not replacement. 🤔💬

When AI Misreads Hate Speech: The Crucial Role of Human Judgment in Language Models

Psychologist and author Scott Barry Kaufman joins Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss his new book Rise Above, which challenges the growing embrace of victimhood as identity. They explore how traits such as neuroticism and vulnerable narcissism are shaping modern culture, why social media rewards grievance over growth, and what it really takes to develop a more flexible, empowered sense of self. Kaufman reflects on his own journey from special education to Carnegie Mellon and beyond, explains why tough love and radical honesty are essential tools for transformation, and offers a humanistic vision of how individuals and societies can move beyond resentment and reclaim purpose.

Scott Barry Kaufman: Incels, Narcissists, and the Victim Mindset

When the "help" becomes "the problem"

This week's guest host on The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie is Billy Binion, who talks with Jenin Younes, a civil liberties attorney who first gained national attention when she sued the Biden administration for pressuring social media companies to censor content it didn't like. That case, Murthy v. Missouri, ultimately reached the Supreme Court.

A former New York City public defender, Younes is now national legal director at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, where she is preparing to sue the Trump administration. She and Binion discuss her path to civil liberties advocacy, the threats to free speech coming from both the left and the right, and why defending the First Amendment should be a universal cause—even when that speech is offensive.
