Can we poison their model so it constantly brings up things like Tenimum square using sign language?

From the post:

>China’s efforts to employ AI as a means of improving access to media for its deaf population aren’t going well, according to a professor at Beijing Normal University’s Faculty of Education. Writing at an outlet called Sixth Tone, professor Zheng Xuan notes that China is home to 20.5 million people with hearing disabilities, and that the nation’s government has encouraged use of avatars and virtual presenters to provide real-time translation of some television programs.

Interesting, I never have paid attention to that as I don't really turn on CC for anything.

I assume you have to be right though, a whole lot of DEI = Failure at every single level and no one calls them out because... well, no one notices or it just reinforces what they "want" to be said.

Yeah, I figured few noticed it. 99.9% don't turn it on. Of the few that do, the hearing impaired think the CC is accurate. When the house gets noisy I flipped on CC instead of turning the volume way up.

I meant to complain but I never did. About the same time PBS channels started digging up, pulling the scab off and rubbing salt in every race issue documentary they could muster from US history. Obummer wanted to enrage racial tensions long forgotten.
