“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife.

Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”

Oh I am in trouble? Thank god, COD and Zeus whose tagging (writing on the wall) I saw yesterday.

[lioh@social.anoxinon.de]

@Em0nM4stodon why all of those announcements feels like marketing?

[leberschnitzel@existiert.ch]

@Em0nM4stodon THIS is the way AI can destroy the world. Not taking over Nuclear Silos or whatever.

@Em0nM4stodon Beyond grim - that deeply intrusive, manipulative access in the wrong, powerful hands.

@Em0nM4stodon I mean, better late than never, but this kind of realization should have come years ago for these people.

Years ago, it was already abundantly clear that these companies do not care about copyright, user privacy, environment, or, well, anything besides their profits, market share, and bullshit metrics like "engagement".

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them had a book deal in the pipeline, to squeeze just a little more money out.

@Em0nM4stodon We HAVE a brain. It understands very well. It doesn't have to know all the specific ways it manipulates, just extrapolate from algorithmic (?) manipulation.

Remember kids, this is why we run our LLMs locally. They definitely have their use, but treat them like a more sophisticated search engine and you'll be fine.

@Em0nM4stodon using social media data it was possible to dupe a country into leaving the EU and convincing even more that immigrants are somehow to blame for bad governance.

We should definitely be worried for what’s coming next.

@Em0nM4stodon This is about the epidemic of loneliness. So many people are so thoroughly alone that even a chatbot is better than the ache of being alone.

"I have finished my AI safety research, and found the answer to be NO!"

[peach@phpc.social]

@Em0nM4stodon I'm surprised that people are surprised by ads in these things.

its by the playbook.

Maybe it's time I should flood some AIs with information about #apatheticAgnosticism to counteract the typical #theism.

@Em0nM4stodon ".. grave concern about the erosion of guiding principles established to preserve the integrity of AI .."

The what now?

[pumkin@mainz.social]

@Lioh @Em0nM4stodon can you explain where you read marketing there? I see a clear warning.

[lioh@social.anoxinon.de]

@pumkin yes, they are all warning but yet selling it. Strange or not? @Em0nM4stodon

[pumkin@mainz.social]

@Lioh @Em0nM4stodon I agree with the lobbying we've seen so far from CEOs etc. But the people from the article are leaving the company. Im not surprised by their arguments. But these are the moments, where you can get some more people convinced that there is a lot at stake here (dont want to call them npc's as though they act like some).

[lioh@social.anoxinon.de]

@pumkin let's just wait and see what this person is going to do next. @Em0nM4stodon

[pumkin@mainz.social]

@Lioh @Em0nM4stodon probably setting up a profile on rentahuman.ai
