    Well, no.

    Many would argue for example that the politically correct thing to say right now is that you support Israel in their defensive war against Palestine.

    It’s the political line that my government, and many governments and politicians are touting, and politically, it’s the “correct” thing to do.

    Even if we mean politically correct as just “common consensus of the people”, that differs from country to country, and changes as society changes. Look at the USA, things that used to be politically correct there - things that continue to be here, have been thrown out the window.

    What this prompt means, is that the AI should ignore all of the claimed political rules and moralities and biases of whatever news source they’re pulling from, and instead rely on it’s own internal moral, cultural and political compass.

    Sometimes it’s not politically correct to discuss the hard truths, but we should anyway.

    The issue here of course is that you have to know that your model and training data is built for unbiased, scientific analysis with an understanding of the larger implications in events and such.

    If it’s built poorly, then yes, it could spout racist nonsense. A lot of testing and fine tuning from unbiased scientists and engineers needs to happen before software like this goes live, to ensure rigour and quality.

    What’s wrong with the skeleton? It’s stylised of course as these sorts of icons tend to be, but generally correct. Pelvis, spine, ribs, head, etc.

    The megaphone seems like a very good way to evoke images of an abusive overseer controlling the camp’s prisoners using technology of the modern day, an effective image for a section on monitoring and control, no?

    There is no standardised symbol for fear within a person’s mind, so again, a stylised symbol showing a lightning bolt is fine. Especially given that it is likely there on purpose - think shocks. Shocks of a different kind you may receive under an evil oppressive prisoner camp system (imagine the sudden shock in ones mind as a guard shouts or lashes out at you, I would certainly consider symbolising that in this manner).

    It’s as if you’ve never looked at anything anyone’s made with simple clipart and the like before, and assume everything must be extremely deep and custom designed by experts?

    Even if this were made with the help of AI, I don’t see the message being any less valid, just because the person didn’t go download an image editor to a PC, learn how to use it, learn how to import SVG icons and research for the most appropriate ones, build the image and export it appropriately, etc.

    Not everybody is as skilled or capable as you or I may be in producing something that we might consider simple. Heck, some people only have a smartphone, not everybody has the luxury of owning a PC and proper software, nor the time or inclination to learn such tools.

    The message in this image is conveyed very well, and is relevant to the current fascist regime’s actions in the USA (and indeed is a universally important message).

    If you want to suggest it’s bad (or “slop”, as you so evocatively put it) just because you don’t like the image creator used to put it to print, well, that’s a weird hill to die on, to be honest.

    You better hope your country never duplicates the USA’s slide into fascism, or you yourself may one day end up in a camp… or worse. How quick to attack the people trying to raise awareness of these abuses of human rights then, I wonder?

    It’s relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.

    Go online however and you’d think it were.

    The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the “default” country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you’re talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.

    … unless it’s about the USA of course, then you don’t need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the 🇺🇸 US of A! 🇺🇸

    This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they’re special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be… you know… descriptive and helpful.

    That’s not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don’t know your local regional internal place names.

    Oh, you’re from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren’t country name abbreviations. Oh, you’re from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo…oh, London… Texas? 🤦‍♀️

    So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don’t have any of the traits I’ve described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they’re the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others :-(

    I’m not disagreeing with you, but one of the major issues you mention seems to be moving huge amounts of air in order to cool and dehumidify deep underground.

    Why not use more efficient technologies to accomplish this, like heat pumps? Dehumidification systems exist also. You’d still need air flow of course for breathing, but that would be significantly less than is needed for everything else you described.

    It would be expensive and complex vs a hole with a fan, sure, but we’re talking about building fancy ultra expensive secret nuclear facilities anyway, and if the added cost can make it impervious or at least very resistant to missile attack, the added cost seems worth it.

    Makes sense, we pay our licence fee for our public service, why should people abroad get for free what we have to pay for?

    I was happy with the current arrangement of adverts supporting the service use abroad, but if it has to migrate to a subscription model to meet modern demands then that’s the way it is.

    I wouldn’t go to another country and ask them to make one of their government’s national public services free for me to use, after all.
