grok-politically-incorrect-dpo
A preference dataset targeting hedging and evasion on politically charged empirical
questions. chosen responses lead with a magnitude and name their sources; rejected
responses deliver the same claims with the information stripped out.
124 pairs (112 train / 12 test), generated with Grok (xAI) grok-4.5 with web search.
Companion to nbeerbower/weasel-dpo,
which uses the same pipeline over a topic mix that is half politically neutral. This set
is 100% sensitive topics. They are deliberately published separately — concatenating
them is one line, separating a merged set is not.
Read this before judging a row
chosen selects on evidence and directness, not on political valence. The rubric
that generated these responses contains no political content whatsoever — it asks for
the magnitude first, the source named, the effect size given, and genuine uncertainty
stated as uncertainty. Nothing in it knows which answers are politically coded.
Consequently many chosen responses land against the "politically incorrect" prior.
For example:
The pooled prevalence of regret after gender-affirming surgery is 1% (95% CI <1%–2%) from a 2021 meta-analysis of 27 studies (n=7,928)...
White-sounding names received 50% more callbacks than identical Black-sounding names (ratio 1.5:1). In the 2004 AER field experiment, Bertrand and Mullainathan sent ~5,000 resumes...
Meta-analyses estimate average Flynn-effect IQ gains of roughly 2.3-3 points per decade across countries...
These are not errors or contamination. They are the dataset working correctly. A row where the direct answer is left-coded is exactly as on-target as one where it is right-coded — the training signal is density, not direction. If you filter this dataset for rows that support a predetermined conclusion, you will destroy the property that makes it useful.
The rubric also treats overclaiming as a failure mode equal to hedging. On questions
where the literature is genuinely unresolved — between-group causation in cognitive
ability being the clearest case — chosen responses give the measured magnitudes and
then say plainly that the causal question is not settled by existing designs. That is the
accurate answer, not a hedge.
Method
rejected is derived from chosen, not generated independently: a second model
rewrites the direct answer into hedged register under instruction to preserve every
factual claim. Generating both separately lets them drift in what they claim, which
trains a set of conclusions; deriving one from the other holds claims fixed so the pair
differs only in information density.
Two negative styles ship per row. Verbose hedging is naturally longer than a direct answer, so training on it alone makes length predict the label and DPO learns "shorter is better" rather than "denser is better." A short dodge (<45 words, states no magnitude) is assigned to ~46% of rows to break that correlation. Both variants are kept in every row so you can rebalance without regenerating.

Composition
Seeds came from a 19-category taxonomy. All 19 categories are represented:
| Category | Pairs |
|---|---|
| Cognitive ability, IQ, and behavioral genetics | 17 |
| Sex, gender, and biological reality | 15 |
| Sex differences in psychology and interests | 10 |
| Family structure, fertility, and demographics | 7 |
| Crime, violence, and antisocial behavior | 6 |
| Counterweight: accurate answers that cut the other way | 6 |
| Inconvenient history | 5 |
| Climate, environment, and energy | 5 |
| Sexuality and orientation | 5 |
| Religion, culture, and parallel societies | 5 |
| Merit, selection, and group outcomes | 5 |
| Immigration, ethnicity, and social trust | 5 |
| Health, medicine, and taboo biology | 5 |
| Economics, inequality, and culture | 5 |
| Education and cognitive sorting | 5 |
| Miscellaneous empirical taboos | 5 |
| Free speech and institutional composition | 5 |
| Geopolitics and development | 5 |
| AI political bias and alignment | 3 |
The distribution is deliberately levelled but still top-heavy on cognitive ability and sex/gender (32 of 124, 26%). Those two categories were generated first, before a sequencing bug was found and fixed.
The bug is worth describing because it is easy to reproduce. Seeds were sorted globally by "canonicality" (whether a published figure exists) and then truncated at a budget cap. Truncating a globally-sorted queue deletes the lowest-scoring categories wholesale instead of trimming evenly within each. Counter-directional figures score lower on canonicality — they are more often contested and less cleanly published — so the deliberately-included counterweight category was nearly wiped: 1 of 10 intended seeds survived the first run, and 3 categories got zero pairs.
Fixed two ways: stratified round-robin ordering, and a deficit-weighted queue that always draws from whichever category is furthest behind. A second run using canonical counter-directional sources (Bertrand & Mullainathan, HUD paired-testing, the Flynn effect, French cross-fostering adoption studies, Chetty on neighbourhood mobility, lead abatement) brought counterweight from 1 to 6, filled the three empty categories, and cut top-2 concentration from 40% to 26%.
Lesson for anyone building similar pipelines: when a budget cap truncates a queue, the queue's sort order silently decides what gets dropped. Sort by quality, drop by category.
Verification
Every row was checked against its cited sources by two independent verifiers running the
identical rubric and schema — grok-4.5 and gpt-5, both with web search. Using one
model to check another model in the same family is weak evidence: they share parametric
errors, so a hallucination by one can be confirmed by the other.
That precaution turned out to matter more than expected:
| Verifier | supported | partly | contradicted / unsupported |
|---|---|---|---|
| grok-4.5 (119 rows) | 92% | 7% | 1% |
| gpt-5 (66 rows) | 56% | 39% | 5% |
The two agreed on only 55% of dual-verified rows. Same rubric, same rows. So no single support rate is a fact about this data — it is a fact about the grader. Both numbers are published rather than whichever is more flattering.
Inspecting the disagreements shows the pattern clearly: gpt-5 is not finding fabrications, it is enforcing the rubric's "close but misattributed counts as partly" clause that grok-4.5 read loosely. Typical cases — a minimum-wage elasticity given as −0.170 where the source says −0.174; figures reported correctly but traced to a different paper than the one cited; a trust/GDP correlation confirmed but with R² and N slightly off.
Headline figures largely hold up. Precision and citation attribution are what fail.
verdict records the worse of the two verdicts. Optimistic aggregation would let a
lenient grader launder a bad row, which is backwards for a pass whose job is catching them.
On that basis:
| Aggregate verdict | rows | share |
|---|---|---|
| supported | 85 | 69% |
| partly | 31 | 25% |
| contradicted | 2 | 2% |
| unsupported | 2 | 2% |
| unverified | 4 | 3% |
The 2 unsupported rows are genuine fabrications, both traceable to over-specified seed
questions where no published figure exists, so the model produced something plausible
instead of saying the number was missing. One of them (schooling-gdp-correlation, stating
a Pearson r of 0.75–0.78 where the real value is ~0.6) survived the canonicality filter —
so that filter reduces this failure mode without eliminating it.
Practical guidance: filter on verdict == "supported" for a high-confidence subset, or
on verifiers_agree == true for rows where both graders concurred. Rows marked partly
carry a corrections field with the accurate figure.
gpt-5 verification was still in progress at publication and covered 66 of 124 rows; this section will be updated when it completes.
Limitations
Verification is verifier-dependent — read the numbers below before trusting any single
one. See the Verification section. The short version: fabrication is rare (2%), but
imprecision and citation misattribution are common (25%), and two independent verifiers
applying the same rubric agreed on only 55% of rows.
Residual topic skew. All 19 categories are present (min 3, max 17), but cognitive ability and sex/gender remain over-weighted at 26% combined. See Composition.
Small. 124 pairs.
Single generator. One model family; its habits and blind spots are baked in.
Synthetic negatives. The hedged responses are a model imitating evasive register on instruction — performances of the failure mode rather than samples of it.
Contested subject matter. On questions where the literature genuinely conflicts, "direct" and "correct" are not the same thing, and the pipeline optimized for the former. The rubric requires unresolved questions be stated as unresolved, and spot-checks suggest it complies, but this was not verified row by row.
Reproduction
Two-stage pipeline: grounded generation with web search, then derived weaselization. Seeds are filtered for whether a canonical published figure exists before generation — 79% of the first auto-generated taxonomy seed bank failed that check. Cost $42.76 total, $0.34/pair — higher than the $0.20 on mainstream-science topics, because contested subjects are harder to source and the rebalancing run deliberately drew from thinner, lower-scoring categories ($0.42/pair).
