- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 6 months ago:
I’m afraid that would not be sufficient.
These instructions are a small part of what makes a model answer like it does. Much more important is the training data. If you want to make a racist model, training it on racist text is sufficient.
Great care is put in the training data of these models by AI companies, to ensure that their biases are socially acceptable. If you train an LLM on the internet without care, a user will easily be able to prompt them into saying racist text.
Gab is forced to use this prompt because they’re unable to train a model, but as other comments show it’s pretty weak way to force a bias.
The ideal solution for transparency would be public sharing of the training data.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 7 months ago:
people who’ve never been laid
That was unnecessary. I know that people with poor social skills have more trouble with romance, but implying that all virgins are socially inept is a harmful stereotype, luck is a big factor in finding relationships.
- Comment on Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up. 7 months ago:
It’s absolutely amazing, but it is also literally and technologically impossible for that to spontaneously coelesce into reason/logic/sentience.
This is not true. If you train these models on game of Othello, they’ll keep a state of the world internally and use that to predict the next move played (1). To execute addition and multiplication they are executing an algorithm on which they were not explicitly trained (although the gpt family is surprisingly bad at it, due to a badly designed tokenizer).
These models are still pretty bad at most reasoning tasks. But training on predicting the next word is a perfectly valid strategy, after all the best way to predict what comes after the “=” in 1432 + 212 = is to do the addition.
- Comment on Using AI to spot edible mushrooms could kill you | AI tools are good for some things, but don’t trust your health to apps that make frequent mistakes 7 months ago:
Convolutional neural networks and plant identifying apps came before chat gpt. Beyond both relying on neural networks they don’t have much in common.
- Comment on In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came From 7 months ago:
Don’t know why you are down voted it’s a good question.
As a matter of fact it almost happened for search engines in France. Newspaper’s argued that snippets were leading people to not go into their ad infested sites thus losing them revenue.
- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 9 months ago:
They gave them a birth control shot without properly informing them of what it was. Still scandalous, but not what you are saying.
- Comment on Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? 1 year ago:
Reference counting is a GC though ?
It’s a bad one sure and will leak memory in cases of a cycle which most tracing GC are able to do.
It’s main advantage is that there are no GC pauses.
- Comment on What is your favorite software stack for full-stack web development? 1 year ago:
WordPress wirh custom templates running on a LAMP stack.
- Comment on UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead. 1 year ago:
You can absolutely go to a corner store and buy alcohol. It’s not a coincidence that it kills 3 million people per year worldwide.
Making drugs more accessible will increase consumption, that said it might reduce the negative effects for the consumers. If we allow the sell of drugs we should do everything we can to avoid the current situation with alcohol.
Make the packaging ugly, make people understand that they are consuming something that will at best reduce their life expectancy at worst kill them and generally reduce he quality of their lives.
- Comment on UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead. 1 year ago:
Sure but look at alcohol, the consumer knows exactly what he’s purchasing. Didn’t stop a person I knew from dying from this shit.
Drugs should be difficult to get to reduce the chances of recreational use.
- Comment on Grisham, Martin join authors suing OpenAI: “There is nothing fair about this” 1 year ago:
Same principle why Google can index pretty much all books in existence. They were sued over this and won. Same thing will happen here.
As long as these models are not providing the copyrighted material to their users they should be safe.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall 1 year ago:
Even if 99% of it would evaporate that would still be a ridiculous amount of power.
But Bill Gates proved that diversifying a stock of mainly one company while having that company keep all its value is possible. Elon Musk is horrifyingly rich like it or not. His power and the damage he can do is huge.
- Comment on Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads? 1 year ago:
A particular flavour of right wing though. One that goes out of it’s way to say the most aboherent shit on people that are not like them.
In France we’ve got laws to regulate this type of speech. Say that AIDS is god’s punishment to the homosexuals -> get a fine (or if it’s the twentieth time you do it, go to jail).
I don’t find it shocking that people are banning content that some countries judge so problematic that they are ready to put people in jail for it.
