Re:AI Regurgitating Propaganda on Friday March 01, 2024 @05:29AM (#39560467)
neal.fun's Infinite Craft is a fun app, you play by combining two words to make a new word, e.g "Water" + "Fire" makes "Steam", "Shark" + "Hurricane" makes "Sharknado", etc.

Except it's exposing AI bias, combining "Palestine" + "Child" makes "Terrorist".

The underlying LLM (Meta AI's LLaMA) doesn't know who Palestinian children are. It doesn't know they're dying en masse from bombings and starvation. It's only regurgitating propaganda that associates them with terrorism.

This paper (2013) might be of interest "We demonstrate in practice how hackers can take control of navigation systems and, in the case of a wide distribution of floating car data, can actively control the traffic flow."

As it happens I just received an email from Kickstarter informing me about their policy changes due to GDPR, the mail does not contain an not opt-out or unsubscribe link ! That is required by GDPR, or at lease good practice right ?
