Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference
The confessions of a concerned bird.
Big if true.
Even if it's not true, it's not surprising. And this is why centralized algorithmic control will never work.
Even if it's not true, it's not surprising.
This is a weird sentence. I honestly have no idea what it means.
Fair enough. The point is just that if it's a lie, it's completely believable and that's a problem.
Looks like there's a github link at the bottom of the page. Any techie people want to take a look and provide their take? This article raises a lot of red flags.
The docs give an example for a trump character, which is weird why they would do it, but people make choices.
But then I went to the GitHub project of Eliza and just searched for trump in the repo. Granted, this was only about 10 mins looking through the code with the trump keyword, but it definitely seems like everything is in place to have a trump-like ai. There is also a note that the trump bot doesn't directly reply to questions but often diverts the conversation, so it was definitely tested.
That's only the main branch, god knows what's in the other branches, I'm sure if someone invests significant time, more info could be gathered. Regardless, the program advertises itself as a way to create bots for social media, so surely someone has used it.
It's difficult to believe OP (I definitely wants to), but the software is concerning regardless.
Edit: I was a bit back and forth about the whole thing, but I feel like investigating the project definitely has some merit. I'm done for now, but I'd like to hear more opinions as well.
Actually, thinking more about it, it's quite sinister. The characters they have available as examples are: c3po cosmosHelper Dobby eternalAi sbf trump
Of those, I (and I'm guessing most people) only know c3po, Dobby and Trump. And trump is the only known human model. Now let's say you want to test the application (which you can from their website if you give them your chatgpt API token), then people are more likely to pick a character they know and so it's likely to be one of those three. So just running the example with the trump model because you want to test it has already launched a chat bot that has a right leaning rhetoric.
It’s an example that is odd.
Itself, could be a meaningless example that someone made in poor taste.
It proves nothing empirically, but it’s not a normal example at all
Without proof this is just a mediocre fanfiction
If true, why now, why not 6 months ago when it mattered?
Would no longer matter in these United States one whit. Godspeed, Europe.
One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza.
It's not true.
Eliza? Really!? Give me a break!
Have a hard time grasping such a thing would not have leaked. With evidence. If it was that widespread.
