What agency did you command SWAT for?

I also got from The Vow that they were trying to help themselves feel better about what they had been a part of.

To be fair to them, they explicitly or almost explicitly said this in a couple of the later episodes. It doesn't exonerate them but their agenda is pretty front-and-center.

Well, defending the NRA doesn't always go well on reddit, but I think this question is unfair and misleading.

NRA opposes domestic violence protections for same-sex couples.

No they don't. They've opposed some, but not all, bills in some states about domestic violence that have provisions about losing gun-rights in specific circumstances. That some of these bills have also included protections for same-sex couples does not mean they oppose such protections. Unless you're trying to generate a taking-point.

NRA dropped King & Spalding after they decided not to defend DOMA

Yes, but they specially said it was because they thought declining to defend a client like this meant they might decline to defend the NRA if it was unpopular. They took no stance on DOMA.

NRA supported anti-gay marriage amendments in the 2000s.

Any chance you're confusing the NRA with GOA? Can you cite this? I can't find any mention of this on the Googles.

For the last couple years the NRA has been trying really hard to court those in the LGBT community with libertarian leanings.

With your correct understanding of LLMs and their goal, "the simple objective to predict the next word in a sentence or piece of text", do you think it's necessarily desirable to weed out problematic training data?

We've seen a lot of shock-stories that users can get the AI to say bad or offensive things, as if that's some indictment of the technology and not LLMs producing exactly what the user wanted. What do you think about these stories?
