@evacide it’s also reporting satirical stuff as truth (ask it about the new Cape Breton Island timezone).
We’re doomed.
@evacide oh.
This is a surprise.
Will God approve of us building god-like superintelligences?
If his reaction to the Tower of Babel is anything to go by, He will be mightily pissed off.
Not that he needs to sow division amongst us, again.
Is that the "now there is a god" one?
Great story. Still remembered after I first read it in 1961.
I’m sympathetic and think this is dumb, but realistically in 2025, no one should be using anything meta for “sensitive” information - especially Facebook. That’s been a publicly known bad thing for almost 10 years.
No one’s victim blaming. People should be aware that Facebook is a crappy company, and nothing that gets put into it is actually private. It’s web 101 that has somehow gotten lost.
This shouldn’t be a surprise, and it’s a sad state of affairs that it is.
@evacide This is exactly why access control matters.
If user data can slip into public AI apps without consent, the issue isn’t the model—it’s the pipeline.
Trust isn’t built by accident. Platforms need clear boundaries by design, not just terms buried in UX.
@evacide “People's real Instagram or Facebook handles are attached to their Meta AI posts. I was able to look up some of these people's real-life profiles, although I felt icky doing so.”
To be fair, all AI models work this way, they save everything you input. Meta AI just seems to be the most blatant about sharing everything you input with everyone else.
@evacide Everything Meta makes is a honeypot for gathering more data. Everything
And this bullshit is desensitising us to accept that we can’t help it.
This is done on purpose. Tech sites are paid for by tech companies.
" ... Facebook users who appear to be unaware that they have made their conversations public. . . "
No they have not, Facebook tricked or stole or manipulated the "assumed to be private" conversations.
That sentence reads as if it was constructed by lawyers for the AI thieves.
"appear to be unaware" pfft stolen at night.
"made their conversations public" had their privacy invaded and stolen
Do BETTER B.I.
Meta AI suggests a prayer "Dear Heavenly Father, I come
before you today with gratitude and reverence. May your loving light guide me, your divine peace comfort me, and your
infinite wisdom illuminate my path. Grant me strength, courage, and clarity to face the
challenges ahead. May your will be done in my life"
Is this how we'll have to pray to Zuck's "superintelligence"?
Unacceptable…
