Comment on Neo-Nazis Are All-In on AI
pavnilschanda@lemmy.world 4 months agoYou are right. But I’m mostly observing how much of the newsfeed headlines talk about how AI is dangerous and dystopian (which can be to some degree, but the amount of fear-mongering headlines outnumber its benefits. Then again many news outlets benefit from such headlines anyway regardless of topic), and this one puts the cherry on top.

If neo nazis are deliberately trying to train the AIs that feed into everyone’s workflow, I think it is newsworthy despite what all the other headlines say.
The Neo Nazis are the threat, the AI is being abused.

I think this is a misunderstanding of how most of the AI that feed into workflows work. Most of them don’t dynamically re-train live based off how users are using them. At least not outside of the context of that user/chat instance.
Most likely what these and others are doing is to download pre-trained open source AI datasets thrn and run them locally so they aren’t restrained by any of the commercial AI’s limitations on what they will and won’t output to users. I highly doubt there’s enough material out there to truly train a new AI model on only explicitly racist material. This is just a bunch of assholes doing prompt engineering on open source models running locally.

Oh, if it’s being run locally, then I’ve fundamentally misunderstood the situation. Thanks for pointing it out.
