Whos to say it's right or wrong? If I make a twitter profile impersonating a specific person and fill it with right-wing extremism will it get flagged by their process?

Curious to know which SOTA Frontier model did they use? Or an open weights model?

Systemic racism within the German system has been proven [1], so the Bundeswehr is right to screen for it. I have experienced racists at work, at government offices and in everyday situations. A system consisting of such people does not properly work. We need some Goodwill. [1]: to name one: https://fgz-risc.de/forschung/inra-studie
