    Pretty much every corporately owned service on the Internet actively spies on you for the police.

    An important thing to understand as authoritarians take control of governments and start using this comprehensive spying apparatus to target political opponents.

    Learn to use your computer. Use open sourced tools and software, invest in your own hardware and host your own services. It doesn’t require years of learning or study, you can often get by with a video or two.

    My Jellyfin server doesn’t call the police. My local language models don’t store everything I’ve ever written. Nobody is scanning my NextCloud server or mining my Signal/Matrix/Jami contacts to determine my social graph.

    All of this is running on cheap leftover hardware (with some new hard drives) and I save over $100/mo on the equivalent services. And way more if you consider access to every streaming service with exclusive content.

    Windows is spying on you, Meta is spying on you, Google is spying on you, Amazon is spying on you, OpenAI is spying on you.

    They do this because they make it slightly easier to use software and so people give up every bit of privacy and autonomy for their entire lives just to avoid reading a wiki or learning a technical skill.

    I don’t think that that is a good deal.

    Local models. Can’t be surveiled if your ai isn’t on the internet.

      Exactly.

      This is going to be the next Google searches thing, isn’t it. People being ignorant to, or forgetting that corporations are saying everything they say or do. And then bring all shocked when they get exploited for profits or reported to authorities for doing shady things.

      Rinse and repeat.

    “When we detect users who are planning to harm others, we route their conversations to specialized pipelines where they are reviewed by a small team trained on our usage policies and who are authorized to take action, including banning accounts,” the blog post notes. “If human reviewers determine that a case involves an imminent threat of serious physical harm to others, we may refer it to law enforcement.”

    See? Even the people who make AI don’t trust it with important decisions. And the “trained” humans don’t even see it if the AI doesn’t flag it first. This is just a microcosm of why AI is always the weakest link in any workflow.

    This is exactly the use-case for an LLM and even OpenAI can’t make it work.

      I don’t think it is. LLM is language generating tool, not language understanding one.

      • iglou@programming.dev ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        That is actually incorrect. It is also a language understanding tool. You don’t have an LLM without NLP. NLP includes processing and understanding natural language.

    Funny, now you’ll have the cops arresting you for prompts like “how to survive being homeless?”, rather than social services when you prompt “how to avoid being homeless?”.

    And will authorities be called when someone prompts “how to shoot wild animals?” when asking about wildlife photography? 😆

    Well if idiots share their crime plans with a corpoo, what do they expect.

    However, police won't do anything.

    But even if they do, prosecutors won't.

    Just look at that incident in Nevada with Israeli pedophile.

    Cops bust him, federal prosecutor refused to charge him..

    Laws are enforced selectively

      However, police won’t do anything.

      This is the punchline to the joke of mass surveillance. You can have people doing crimes in clear view of the police and they just stand around. The police aren’t for deterring crime, they’re a jobs program and a human shield against harm to private property.

      He had diplomatic immunity. They refused to prosecute because it is an international incident that would require dragging the Israelis to an the ICC just to get permission to prosecute him in their jurisdiction. That’s always a decades long approach in normal times - and with this administration of pedos who are beholden to Mossad, there’s 0% chance of it happening. So it’s often better to NOT prosecute and wait it out until more friendly times than it is to swiftly lose a trial and then be prevented from seeking justice by double jeapordy.

      It’s part of why the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was such a shitshow. The prosecution team threw the case intentionally and made him immune to justice.

        If he had diplomatic immunity, he didn’t claim it as far as I’ve seen. He was given a date for appearance before the judge so they could have held him until then with no problem. I agree they didn’t want to make an incident of it but it wouldn’t have involved the ICC.

      They haven't refused to charge him. He has a hearing scheduled on September 3rd.

        That's state charges... This was a fed op and feds always charge under this fact pattern.

        The fact that feds didn't charge means that somebody at DoJ decided against the policy.

        Im pretty sure the op you replied to is hoping for the five-oh to start taking GPT’s advice to commit suicide… meaning they want dead cops not for cops to intervene. Not the classiest comment you replied to, which is why I think it woooooshed right over your head.

    All of this is so fucking bizarre I can’t even wrap my head around it anymore. It’s a bot. How the fuck is it suddenly killing people? How is talking to a bot a crime now? Did everyone lose their minds?

      How is talking to a bot a crime now?

      Planning to do a crime is criminal misconduct. If you’re talking to a bot with the intent to gather resources to perform a crime, you’re in the process of committing the crime you intended to perform.

      source
      • ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Wrong. An attempt to commit a crime is a crime. Planning it is not. I can plan to rob a bank all I want. You would have to prove intent. Typing things in a chat doesn’t prove intent.

      I mean, Google harvests data from search engine queries. I doubt that AI queries honestly leak all that much more information.

      The issue is broader, just that people have gotten really comfortable for paying for service by using their data, and I don’t think that that’s necessarily a great idea.

        I doubt that LLM queries honestly leak all that much more information.

        I don’t doubt it. Search engine queries are just like a one time short query and then you just click on what seems like what you’re looking for and continue from there.

        LLMs conversations, on the other hand, go much deeper, exactly to what you’re interested in, clarifications etc.
