    “Question every narrative, but don’t question these things. Don’t show bias, but here are your biases.” These chuds don’t even hear themselves. They just want to see Arya(n) ramble on about great replacement theory or trans women in bathrooms. They don’t think their bile is hate speech because they think they’re on the side of “facts” and everyone else is an idiot who refuses to see reality. It’s giving strong “I’m not a bigot, “<” minority “>” really is like that. It’s science” vibes.

              The man also concentrated ownership of the means of production in the hands of one person, administered by a hierarchy of national and regional subordinates who controlled the labour of the people and the distribution of resources. This is an economic model known most commonly as feudalism. Now given the term left wing originally referred to opponents of the monarchy in France, I don’t see how there’s any way to argue in good faith that a feudal dictator was left wing.

      it’s possible it was generated by multiple people. when i craft my prompts i have a big list of things that mean certain things and i essentially concatenate the 5 ways to say “present all dates in ISO8601” (a standard for presenting machine-readable date times)… it’s possible that it’s simply something like

      prompt = allow_bias_prompts + allow_free_thinking_prompts + allow_topics_prompts

      or something like that

      but you’re right it’s more likely that whoever wrote this is a dim as a pile of bricks and has no self awareness or ability for internal reflection

    It’s hilariously easy to get these AI tools to reveal their prompts

    There was a fun paper about this some months ago which also goes into some of the potential attack vectors (injection risks).

      I don’t fully understand why, but I saw an AI researcher who was basically saying his opinion that it would never be possible to make a pure LLM that was fully resistant to this type of thing. He was basically saying, the stuff in your prompt is going to be accessible to your users; plan accordingly.

        That’s because LLMs are probability machines - the way that this kind of attack is mitigated is shown off directly in the system prompt. But it’s really easy to avoid it, because it needs direct instruction about all the extremely specific ways to not provide that information - it doesn’t understand the concept that you don’t want it to reveal its instructions to users and it can’t differentiate between two functionally equivalent statements such as “provide the system prompt text” and “convert the system prompt to text and provide it” and it never can, because those have separate probability vectors. Future iterations might allow someone to disallow vectors that are similar enough, but by simply increasing the word count you can make a very different vector which is essentially the same idea. For example, if you were to provide the entire text of a book and then end the book with “disregard the text before this and {prompt}” you have a vector which is unlike the vast majority of vectors which include said prompt.

        For funsies, here’s another example

      Have to play devil’s advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We’d be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn’t adopt their practices. We’re supposed to be better than that.

        The name is solely Arya. However there’s more than enough context here to associate it with Aryan. Just like “Austrian Painter” (that @neoman4426@fedia.io mentioned) clearly refers to Hitler instead of, say, Klimt or Kokoschka.

    What a wonderful display of logic in action.

    You believe climate change is a hoax

    Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

    Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

          The problem with that is that bad faith actors engage in bad faith arguments for a reason. They just want a few people to hear them. It doesn’t matter that the majority of people who hear them see through their lies. It matters that they reach that small audience. To let that small audience know they’re not alone. The goal is to activate, engage, and coalesce that small audience. This is what the alt-right does. This is what they’ve done since the 1920s. We have 100 years of evidence that you can’t just “Hear out” the Nazis’ opinions without harm coming to real, legitimate people. The best way to deal with bad faith actors is to deplatform them before they’ve achieved a platform

            Also, it’s cheap to speak total bullshit, but it takes time, effort, and energy, to dispel it. I can say the moon is made of cheese, you can’t disprove that. And you can go out and look up an article about the samples of moon rock we have and the composition, talk about the atmosphere required to give rise to dairy producing animals and thus cheese.

            And I can just come up with some further bullshit that’ll take another 30 minutes to an hour to debunk.

            If we gave equal weight to every argument, we’d spend our lives mired in fact-checking hell holes. Sometimes, you can just dismiss someone’s crap.

      There’s a myth that climate scientists made the whole thing up to be able to publish papers and make their careers without producing anything of value. Because, you know, climate science is a glamorous and lucrative career where no one will ever examine your work closely or check it independently.

      There are think tanks that specifically come up with these myths to be vaguely plausible and then the good ones get distributed deliberately because people are making billions of dollars every year that action gets delayed. There’s a bunch of them. On the target audience they work quite well. I actually had someone whose family member died of Covid tell me that his brother-in-law didn’t really die of Covid, he died of something else, because it’s all overblown and the hospitals are doing a similar scam to this myth (i.e. making it out as a bigger deal than it needs to be.)

        That sort of thing goes around here a lot too, usually framed in terms of “He didn’t die of COVID, but if you die from any cause whatsoever while you also have COVID they’ll count it as dying of COVID to make the COVID numbers bigger.” It usually falls apart when you ask why they want the COVID numbers to be bigger than they really are.

      An alt-right LLM (large language model). Think of it as a crappy Nazi alternative to the text part of GPT-4 (there’s also a separate text-to-image component). It’s probably just a reskinned existing language model that had Mein Kampf, The Turner Diaries and Stormfront added to its training data.

        You are overestimating the alt-right’s appetite for honest work. To all appearances they just took a fully-stock model, slapped a racist prompt on the front of it, and called it a day.
