Big techs’ have forgotten that social media is for people to interact and connect.
Our data belongs to us, and no one has the right to use it without permission.
An AI model trained on posts from Nazis. What can go wrong?
Headline: Cyber Hitler Bans Jews from the Internet!
that’s just the latest twitter news in a few months
It’s gonna be the dumbest AI in human history
Yea, but it would be good at right-wing slogans and racial slurs.
How useful would an AI model be if it were trained on the content from a social media platform full of nazis, russian trolls, and bots?
Didn’t we kinda see this happen already? I don’t remember which product it was. Was it one of Microsofts trial runs?
it was Tay. She went super fuckin racist.
Oh yeah, that’s the one. Who could’ve seen this coming, right?
haha yeah. I can only imagine what an AI trained on twitter would be like. Way worse than Tay I think.
I guess…full of sh*t.

Hey! You must be new to the internet. Here’s a tip:
Just because someone says something is debunked - even if that someone had a YouTube channel with a ton of followers - doesn’t mean it’s actually debunked. People do, in fact, just go on the internet and tell lies, and it’s pretty common.

Oh, that’s not what I’m saying.
I’m saying you’re spreading nonsense propaganda and are pushing an agenda that effectively enables Russian military adventurism and imperialism/nationalism, and I’m calling you out on it. I was just being a bit oblique about it. But I can be direct, too.

I am not insinuating that the US is some paragon of virtue and blameless, nor was I trying to.
I am saying that you’re falling into the same trap you’re trying to say I fell into, only from the other side.
But from the looks of your second paragraph, you’re just a tankie, so this conversation is clearly not going to go anywhere.

Seeing someone imply that older users want their news and information parsed by YouTube personalities is wild. That’s quite an assertion.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I’m still calling it twitter
I call it Xitter (pronounced as Shitter)
It’s more like a non-privacy policy and should be called that.
Joke’s on them, I never made a single post.
Twitter was shit from the very beginning.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Ivanovs points out, X owner Elon Musk has ambitions to enter the AI market with another company, xAI.
This leads him to theorize that Musk likely intends to use X as a source of data for xAI — and perhaps Musk’s recent tweet encouraging journalists to write on X was even an attempt to generate more interesting and useful data to feed into the AI models.
In fact, Musk has previously stated that xAI would use “public tweets” to train its AI models, so this is not much of a leap.
Musk also filed suit against unknown entities for scraping Twitter data, which also may have been for the purpose of training artificial intelligence large language models.
Musk essentially confirmed the privacy policy change, responding to a post on X to clarify that the plan is to use “just public data, not DMs or anything private.”
X no longer responds to press requests with a poop emoji as it had following Musk’s takeover of the social network.
The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Wow they chose to semi-hijack a common acronym for explainable AI (XAI), for a new company that’s likely unethical. Why do companies do this, hijacking existing words with benevolent meanings then eventually dirty them?
It’s called marketing, and it’s cancer
“xAI”. The success of this AI will be measured whether it changes its name or not.
Great idea. Trainning an AI model on twitter totaly didn’t go terribly wrong the last time it was tried. /s
It’s going to end up similar as when an AI was trained on 4chan. Mega racist and homophobic but also hyper sensitive because its Twitter (not gonna call it the new name)
If the data is public, can’t anyone use it to train anyway? (besides rate limits to get the actual data, of course)
Go ahead, train on me not writing a single thing and just retweeting exclusively Pokémon drawings from Japanese artists.
I see this as a challenge to the fediverse? Our platforms are open and amenable to being used for AI training. Mastodon is full of human made image descriptions, some of them quite detailed.
Does the fediverse want to do anything different? Closed / private / human only spaces?
