Im sorry, but as a language model, I don't have the capability to perceive or assess physical appearances. I am however sure you have other desirable qualities.
There's the issue - anyone with any sense or sensibility has left The Xitter. All that's left are the bots, the unknowing, and the attention whores. Xitter is the new Facebook.
Imho this is actually a very serious problem. They are undermining our society with this.
We should push tech companies to block, its technically very feasible.
This is a very easy to flag, given the intelligence of the people working at OpenAI. Russian IP, political topic, high post frequency.
But blocking them has an opportunity cost in identifiable dollar value, doing nothing only costs them a few pithy press releases and a “commitment to truthfulness and openness”.
Move fast and break things, right? As long as the money rolls in… Just this time they’re breaking the fabric of reality binding society together.
That's only going to stop the people who don't want to give their ID away. If someone would actually want to spread propaganda or other trough bots they would just buy stolen information.
This is a major problem for all democracies, and LLM driven troll accounts probably do exist. But this xitter post is a fake error message. It's clearly a troll.
Blocking fake accounts would help with the misinformation problem, but it's a cat and mouse game. It could ultimately give additional credence to the trolls who slip through if the platform is assumed to be safe. The reality is that there will always be ways for fake accounts to avoid detection and to spoof account verification. Making it harder would help, but it's not a comprehensive solution. Not to mention the fact that the platform itself has the power to manipulate public opinion, amplify their preferred narrative, etc.
The solution I've always preferred is the mentality the 4chan community had when I was younger and frequented it. Basically, and I'm paraphrasing:
Everyone here needs to grow up and understand that no post should ever be presumed to be true or legitimate. This is an anonymous forum. Assume that everything was written by a bot or a troll in the absence of proof that it wasn't.
I think people put too much trust in social media precisely because they assume that there's a real person behind every post. They assume that a face and a few photos gives an account legitimacy, despite the fact that it's trivial to copy photos from a random account (2015/16 pro-Trump Facebook style) or just generate all of the content from scratch with AI (to avoid duplicate detection).
Trust itself is driver of misinformation. On social media, people should only fully trust posts made by people they know. That is the simplest and most comprehensive solution to the problem.
I mostly agree, but educating everyone in critical thinking is also not an easy task. Both strategies should be done: we need to hold the platforms more acountable and help ppl have more critical thought.
I used to work in the industry that prevents this, trust and safety. It's like DEI. If an individual with enough clout gives a shit and takes the time to make it happen, or if a bad thing happens and a corporation needs to make a show of caring to cover their asses, that's when they invest the minimum.
The world is stupid, so this can be true. But it can also be a troll account. Just a more elegant and intelligent kind of fun, that everyone seems to have forgotten.
Like those ghost radio stations, transferring codes by groups of five.
Yes, the purpose of some of them is not as clear (obviously not for everyone) and their signals reach far, which is why radio enthusiast tell stories about them.
And maybe some of them really do transmit gibberish and not encrypted text.
These companies don't care about combating bots. They don't even care they're directly enabling the rise of fascism across the globe. It's typical short sighted capitalistic greed that's driving their lust for higher and higher engagement to sell more and more ads. They simply don't think about that once fascism is fully in place, capitalism goes away and their companies are at the complete mercy of whatever dictator takes over. And since it's a global phenomenon, there will be no where for them to flee to.
Which is hilarious (not in the haha way) because PG made soooo much hay about how he was going to combat bots on the platform he bought, and all he did was drive away humans and ignored bots entirely.
Following Unsworth's lawsuit, Musk filed a declaration that "pedo guy" is a common insult in South Africa used to insult demeanor and appearances. In court on Tuesday, Musk elaborated by saying, "It's quite common in the English speaking world. Calling someone a 'pedo guy' means creepy. If you did a search or asked someone what it means it would be a creepy."
My idea for it is a social network that heavily relies on webcam-recorded opinions and the occasional hand-written letter.
Yes, that's super high-friction and inconvenient. I'd argue social media has become so lazy, incorporating effort into it might improve the experience by changing the quality of posts you see.
This is most likely fake. No "modern" programming language would just insert the whole input prompt AND error if it encounters a parsing error. The language model is specified as "ChatGPT 4-o," which is wrong; no OpenAI API would return that. It would be "GPT-4o." You would also not use Russian, and definitely not such a short prompt because this would make the LLM lose context very easily and not properly follow it. Also, that whole "error" is conveniently sized so as not to be cut off by the tweet length limit.
Sorry you're being downvotted by the misinformed. It's not even in the format for ChatGPT, especially the part about being out of tokens. It's been pointed out already that that is psuedo-code, not actual code. It's meant to look like something ChatGPT would say.
It's a troll/ragebait account.
This isn't news. At all. This is basically reporting on "the hacker known as 4Chan".
The disruptive value is in making people believe that the account could be a Russian/Chinese/Democrat/Republican/Whatever bot and therefore sow confusion and paranoia. The account is doing exactly what it is intended to do.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a response from OpenAI, it could well be some bot platform that serves this API response.
I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has created a product that allows you to generate bot responses from a variety of LLM sources. And if whatever is interacting with it is simply reading the response body and stripping out what it expects to be there to leave only the message, I could easily see a fairly bad programmer create something that outputs something like this.
It's certainly possible this is just a troll account, but it could also just be shit software.
