- We recently banned a cluster of ChatGPT accounts originating in Russia
We banned a cluster of ChatGPT accounts that very likely originated in Russia.
Methinks AI helped write this. Although…their evidence is pretty damning.
by jimbob45 - People would be uncomfortable if the truth about how much influence nation-states have in the online discourse nowadays was really exposed. I don't mean only bots, but how many political influencers are receiving money from adversaries, from all over the spectrum, without they even knowing who is paying them. American people would feel like LATAM countries, which are used to be heavily influenced by external countries.by tuesdaynight

OpenAI's China Report, Meta Trains America & the Pentagon BlacklistSo the question then becomes how can these technologies be leveraged in such a way to be able to maximize signal intelligence, communication intelligence with human intelligence. And this is where AI really began to play a role with regard to big data. The more data you have about individuals as those individuals relate and engage in their collectives and ecologies, the more you know about them, what makes them tick. We here in the United States and among our technological and scientific allies recognize the benefit of this as do our international peer competitors scientifically, technologically, bioeconomically, economically, and certainly militarily, and geopolitically. this idea of precision engagement with regard to being able to get intel about various human targets individually and collectively. Either high priority targets as individuals or groups that may be highly prioritized as individuals. What are their needs? What are their likes? What are their patterns? What are their spends? What are their vulnerabilities? Biocschosocial vulnerabilities and how can those be not only accessed utilizing big data and AI but accessed in the cognitive space but very often in the physical space as well. - the National Defense University dude sitting next to the author of this article.by secondary_op - Does it seem strange that Russia would go with Israel to astroturf credibility?by hackernud3s
- I couldn't help laughing a little at all those Russian phrases weirdly translated into English. Granted I probably sound like that too... at least I don't work for any intelligence service.
For the context: I think, English was the most commonly taught foreign language in the Soviet Union, and later in Russia. But, because nobody had access to the genuine English media, whatever we had to read or listen to was produced by Russian speakers who also never heard or never read genuine English, well, perhaps outside of very outdated prose from the 19th century or even earlier.
The joke from that time, but, apparently, little has changed.-- How much watch? -- Six watch. -- Such much?! -- For whom how... -- MGIMO finished? -- A-a-a-ask!by crabbone - >Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
Pull the other one. It's got bells on.
by GolfPopper - We should be tracking and identifying all covert influence campaigns, from all states - not just Russia - and collecting a registry of these efforts for wide public distribution.
We should also be tracking and identifying all covert influence campaigns of our own government, too, while we’re at it.
In fact, all covert influence, everywhere, should be identified and made overt.
It is the covert nature of the influence that is the most insidious aspect, incompatible with free and open society.
So yeah, let’s start at home by disassembling the national security apparatus which allows covert influence to be wielded against The People. After all, anything less than full exposure is hypocrisy.
More leaks now!
Perhaps there will be an application of LLM’s towards identifying covert influence, which we can apply to a corpus and identify its true authorship. This would be pretty useful for a lot of things, eh ..
by MomsAVoxell - i think a lot of people don't realize how far not just nation-states are willing to go, but bajillionaire entities are willing to go to control any given narrative now that AI is so accessible. ig comments, tiktok comments, reddit comments, hn comments, on seemingly innocuous and harmless content, just out there trying to look real and game the perception. these entities are well aware that people go to comments and discussion for "the real tea" and yeah. marketing behemoths offer "social media engagement" packages to entities like disney to push trailer hype. flood youtube and other socials with fake content engagement. i remember within the first like minute disney dropped the latest tron trailer on youtube, it was absolutely flooded with "i'm not ready" "omggggg" caliber comments from seemingly real looking youtube profiles.
