How to train the dumbest AI imaginable

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

God just imagine the racism.

[–] MrLLM@ani.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

AI are already ”hallucinating”, imagine the conspiracy theories they’ll come up with.

I wish we could held corporations accountable for the stupidity of their AI

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (5 children)

You all realize this same shit is happening here right?

It's a public forum 🤦‍♂️

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's almost doublethink, people celebrating how the Fediverse is an open protocol for sharing public discussion and then going surprised-Pikachu at the notion that public discussion might be viewed by someone the don't want to view it.

If you don't mean for something to be public, don't post it on a public forum.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That's why I think the final iteration of the fediverse will be a mostly defederated bunch of echochamber bubbles. People don't actually want diverse opinions. They want a diverse group of people to share their opinion so that they can feel theirs is the dominant, right one. Give it 5 years and the fediverse will be just as much walled off and divided as the rest of the internet is now.

People like to complain about the evil's of humanity and yet always seem to act like it's forced upon us by some outside force. Like the 1% are a different species and not just glowing examples of our worst traits cranked up to max. Like someone else is making humanity act this way. But nah, it's just us and our nature. And until we understand and address that properly, none of our problems are going anywhere.

The point of the Fediverse is decentralization. The services don't have to talk to each other at all, but they all use the same open ActivityPub standard, so they can by virtue of what that standard is capable of providing.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The point is they won't. In figuring will continue over every fucking little thing THE VEGANS ARE CRAZY SO BAN THEM

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

If they wall themselves off, that's not an inherently bad thing. One gigantic public forum was never the goal. One where anyone has the opportunity (but not right) to participate is the goal.

And if you don't like how an instance is doing things, you aren't "just stuck with it," like you would be with a centralized service. By way of example, my instance doesn't have downvotes, and I would be unhappy with one that has that capability turned on, like lemmy.world. If Reddthat decided to defederate and do Local Only, I would leave and go to another instance, but Lemmy would still be there.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Already is. Forums with extra steps unfortunately.

[–] 7oo7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No shit Sherlock!

People who know how to use a forum aren't the ones who need to know a public forum is public.

What kind of gotchas did you think you were making?

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lololol I didn't think everyone here had thought through this lololol. You are wildly optimistic.

Everyone screaming left and right about employeer and school admissions scanning the site.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Yes it was. What crack are you on? From day 2, the second that shit was made public to college students it was HAMMERED into everyone's head that shit would be public. The boomers on Fox News knew this shit was public.

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

They could at least be a bro and make this data easily searchable for me then. I hate always revisiting Reddit when looking for info on obscure shit.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember when the FediPact people were saying various fediverse instances needed to defederate from Threads because Meta was going to use it to scrape comments...

My brother in Christ, you're spewing your comments in a million directions with the ActivityPub protocol. They don't even have to scrape, and defederating them won't do shit.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Don't get me started on this shit. The privacy people are well.

Oh I'm sure the person running this instance from his basement is going to handle my gdpr request better than Meta 🙄 definitely can't pull down a hash table from the db with zero accountability

Artificial intelligence built upon real stupidity.

How to give AI brain cancer in 1 easy step

[–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

[–] mage@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

And racist. And homophobic. And have really strong opinions on the Bratz movie.

[–] small44@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Was that a well guarded secret?

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 5 points 2 months ago

And since it wasn't ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising... Or train an AI with it? I'd say the latter isn't even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they're not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it's been that way for quite some time.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Time to start posting nothing but chat gpt answers on Facebook. Because that's probably what people will do.

[–] cy_narrator@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

Which is expected, public has a meaning

[–] frostmore@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

so when will skynet emerge??

Next version of Llama:

"As an AI assistant, I am only able to provide radical conservative opinions"

[–] spyd3r@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

I've done my part by feeding it nothing but cat pictures, shitposts, and memes for 10 years.
