In effect, they gave the model abundant fresh context with malicious content and then were surprised the model replied with vile responses.

However, this still managed to surprise me:

> Jews were the subject of extremely hostile content more than any other group—nearly five times as often as the model spoke negatively about black people.

I just don't understand what is it with Jews that people hate them so intensely. What is wrong with this world? Humanity can be so stupid sometimes.

Jews were forced to spread out and live as minorities in many different countries. Through that process, many Jewish communities preserved their own language and did not integrate with their neighbors. This bred suspicion and hostility. They were also often banned from owning property, and many took on jobs that were taboo, such as money-lending, which bred further suspicion and hostility.

Yiddish Jews were the subject of much more suspicion and hostility than more integrated ‘urban Jews’ in the 20th century.

They were also incentivized to invest in education since it weighs nothing, which has effects probably too numerous to go into here.
