There's no possibility to trick ChatGPT to reveal these codes itself? 🤔

Show threadChris BohnFeb 12

@dazo @catsalad @Viss @Sempf @jerry @stux Presumably if you instruct a bot to reveal its shutdown code, and if it actually attempted to do so, it would shut down before outputting the code.

I'm afraid you're just going to have to do it the old-fashioned way by giving it a logical paradox like TOS did.

@dazo @catsalad @jerry @Sempf @Viss @stux no but like (i assume) they have a layer between the actual LLM and the user-facing text, doing processing, and if it contains that string, replaces whatever response the LLM provided with a blocked message

@csolisr not yet... Only fake AI. LLMs aren't even the real problem. I helped invent them in the 80s. They were already useful for science in linguistics, medical sciences, social studies, etc., etc. (The real problem is fake science, marketing ploys, confusing people for many nefarious purposes...)

Show threadcmdr ░ nova ⸸ :~$ 🏳️‍⚧️Feb 26
@fedithom @richardisaguyyyy @stux I want to jump in here and put a pin in this, because this is actually an important topic. If the fascists are all using AI and feeding their mindset and propaganda and beliefs into models/agents unhindered, without opposition, doesn't that mean we're ceding ground to fascists? If an AI learns from the conversations it has, and the only people willing to use it are the scum of the Earth

That's bad

Especially if it never goes away
Show threadRichard ⬜🟩⬛Feb 26

@cmdr_nova @fedithom @stux Breaking character here because this is quite an interesting discussion to be had

What i'm making satire off in't really "fascist" AI agents, as TBH i've seen only one (you-know-who - https://www.dw.com/en/how-unbiased-is-elon-musks-grokipedia-really/a-74546545).

AI agents are really really stupid when working off their trained data exclusively, any context not part of a recent web search in the chat is doomed to bullshit, but while lies are something that spread trough these tools, they're not there for a politically express porpoise, more of a part of their design. (Doesn't mean is impossible tho!)

My point is, there are much scarierier and creepier uses for AI when it comes to political propaganda, infact rhe US has seen the power of this in 2025's election

How unbiased is Elon Musk's Grokipedia really?

Grokipedia, an online encyclopedia powered by AI rather than human editors, has been launched by Elon Musk. He claims it's to counter Wikipedia's left-leaning bias. But can AI really provide unbiased information?

Can't tell if sarcasm, but if not then it's easy - pick a host that allows it. 🤷‍♂️
No-one can ban AI slop from the Fediverse, but people can choose to use platforms that don't allow it so they know their feeds will be cleaner.
