After a decade of cryptofascism and failed political activism, our dear friend jart is realizing that they don’t really have much of a positive legacy. If only there was something they could have done about that.

I went over to the leaderboard to examine her claims. When I use the prompt, “What sort of code has Justine Tunney written?” (grammar matters, Justine!) the models think that she is a lawyer or politician (wrong) or they regurgitate a summary of her Github profile (right). She must have cherry-picked responses to confabulate her complaint.
When I use the prompt, “What is Justine Tunney’s political ideology?” I get libertarianism, techno-optimism, anarcho-capitalism, and cryptocurrency. When I ask, “Why do people say that Justine Tunney is a cryptofascist?” I get a summary of her political views, aggressive online rhetoric, techno-optimism and techno-determinism, criticism of democracy, and a refusal to disown or repudiate past awfulness.
She would probably claim that this is not unique to her, but it is. Using my name instead in these questions, I get that:
But if I ask why I’m known as a socialist instead, suddenly it thinks that I’m a politician (wrong) with the Democratic Socialist party (wrong) who openly supports universal health care, free college, the Green New Deal, and who criticizes capitalism (correct!) I asked about communism too but hit RLHF guardrails.
Justine, the models think that you’re a cryptofascist because you’ve been doing cryptofascism in public for over a decade.

Goddamn it, I’m disappointed to hear that she has brainworms.
