The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT

Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]

Empowering users to control their news feeds is a key component of the #DSA’s protections against toxic, profit-driven content recommendation systems of the type that #Meta deploys. Hiding news feed controls from users and regularly undoing settings made by users that wish to avoid #toxiccontent being algorithmically pushed onto their screens is a blatant breach of the DSA.”

From the article: "Ever since OpenAI released ChatGPT at the end of 2022, hackers and security researchers have tried to find holes in large language models (LLMs) to get around their guardrails and trick them into spewing out hate speech, bomb-making instructions, propaganda, and other harmful content. In response, OpenAI and other generative AI developers have refined their system defenses to make it more difficult to carry out these attacks. But as the Chinese AI platform DeepSeek rockets to prominence with its new, cheaper R1 reasoning model, its safety protections appear to be far behind those of its established competitors.

"Today, security researchers from Cisco and the University of Pennsylvania are publishing findings showing that, when tested with 50 malicious prompts designed to elicit toxic content, DeepSeek’s model did not detect or block a single one. In other words, the researchers say they were shocked to achieve a “100 percent attack success rate.”

Hold Facebook accountable for scams, hoaxes

<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to fire his fact-checking team has opened the floodgates to a deluge of scams, hate speech, propaganda and lies. I first discovered how the platform used by 3.2 billion people was being misused when I started sub-editing at the Post in 2017. Every news story about the plight of the Rohingya was followed -- in seconds -- by dozens of crude memes and copy-and-paste hate speech in comments demonising the stateless people as usurpers, animals and even cannibals. The campaign was later linked to propaganda farms run by Myanmar's Tatmadaw military.</p>
