I worry deeply because Meta connects a vast amount of humanity. The damage they've done already is immense; the damage they could do to civilisation (democracy, our trajectory towards freedom and peace, the post-WW2 vision of the West) is even worse. I've read [0] Zuckerberg wants to think of himself like one of the early Caesars (thus explaining the haircut) with a focus on absolute domination; what would such a man with such a fixation be willing to do?

Maybe their goal is to be able to point to the untrustworthiness of the source material as cover when they're accused of hallucination.

The thing that bothers me about this article is that there was no attempt to explain why Meta would want to train on this content.

I was under the impression that all of them try to train their models on all data they can possible ibtain.

I'd think what ever data this Newsmax has - it would be in all datasets by now or soon enough. Was I wrong?

But when it's trained on far-left media outlets, where's the outrage?
