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

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.
Worse in the insidiously-pushing-dark-agendas manner for sure, and an altogether much greater threat to humanity. It couldn’t match Tay for straight up insane evil— she was loudly supporting eugenics and more— but that makes it more dangerous.
I guess…full of sh*t.

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.
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.

It’s gonna be the dumbest AI in human history
Yea, but it would be good at right-wing slogans and racial slurs.
“Just public data, not DMs or anything private,” huh?
Obviously Elon Musk considers everything we post on Twitter as his personal wealth… It’s true though, since all our personal data is stored on his servers, and he can scrape whatever he wants.
It’s time to step into a decentralized peer-to-peer social media where we will no longer be exploited by Twitter, Facebook, or whatever platform, and there are no more central servers to gather your data without consent.
True, and Anonymity is important as well, I am suppose to recommend Mastodon, etc. But they do require Email address as an identity verification.
Nostr https://www.nostrapps.com/ or WireMin http://wiremin.org/
Both of them are decentralized social media, and does not require personal info to register.
Well not really. You are very welcome to set up your own instance and own your data.
Joke’s on them, I never made a single post.
Twitter was shit from the very beginning.
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.

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
Go ahead, train on me not writing a single thing and just retweeting exclusively Pokémon drawings from Japanese artists.
“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
If the data is public, can’t anyone use it to train anyway? (besides rate limits to get the actual data, of course)
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)
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?
