How should #AI
systems #behave, and
who should decide? We’re clarifying how #ChatGPT’s behavior is shaped and our plans for improving that behavior, allowing more user customization, and getting more public input into our decision-making in these areas. https://openai.com/blog/how-should-ai-systems-behave/ #OpenAI #agi #Artificial GeneralIntelligence #behavior https://openai.com/blog/how-should-ai-systems-behave/

"OpenAI mentioned the upcoming upgrade to address concerns that ChatGPT was programmed with a bias on politically and culturally sensitive topics. This includes users showing that ChatGPT will write positive #poems about current #US #President Joe #Biden, but not his Republican rival, Donald #Trump."

Translation:
The #ElongatedMuskrat , who owns #OpenAI, wants to make #ChatGPT more palatable to his #RightWing, #extremist #cult followers

#Georgia GOP finances legal fees for fake electors

Here's a first... I just got an email because ChatGPT suggested an article I wrote to somebody. Could I send them a copy? Except, I never wrote the article, it doesn't exist. PLEASE realize right now that this tool isn't pulling out cool references for you. It's making plausible titles and matching them to authors names.

Sloth is a native #MacOS app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices in use by all running processes on your system.

This makes it easy to inspect which apps are using which files, etc.

Ron DeSantis is requesting medical records of trans students

6 of 12 universities are confirmed to have complied with the request, regardless of HIPAA violations

If a liberal did anything similar, you’d head right wing media talking nonstop about their freedom being violated.

But for some reason, if you attack our at-risk communities or apply the word “woke” then fascism is a-ok.

Meanwhile companies are selling the names and home addresses of people with depression or bipolar disorder to pretty much anyone who wants them and it's completely legal, has been for years, with no indication Congress cares all that much

The Biden admin offered federal disaster assistance to Ohio after that toxic train derailment, Mike Dewine said no thanks and now thanks to some right-wing disinformation circulating on social media every wingnut in America is convinced that Biden refused Dewine's request because he only cares about Ukraine.

Democracy and a sprawling RW #propaganda network are incompatible. Especially so in a country with basically zero media literacy.

TikTok's CEO has been going door-to-door on Capitol Hill explaining to senators why the short-video app is not a secret Chinese spy portal into the minds of American teens. It's not going all that well

Gov. DeSantis battling the dastardly American scourge of, uh, a college preparatory education:

"My number one concern as a parent right now is that my kids will be cut off from additional information about the world. Will they be able to learn beyond what our state is going to allow them to know?"

Buoyed by the purported end of a pandemic that continues to kill thousands, anti-vaccine activists now vow to punish their enemies. “These people,” said one, “need to go to prison.”

Occasionally, I write or comment about a topic and it sets off a maelstrom in the U.S. right-wing ecosystem. This assures me that I have done some good.

Putting an idea into the world is only a small thing, but better than doing nothing.

Today, I received deranged and incensed emails from strangers regarding this article, co-authored with @Dahlialith. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/02/gun-laws-bruen-clarence-thomas-framers-domestic-abuse.html 1/ (thread)

“Between 2015 and 2021, Eliminalia sent thousands of bogus copyright-infringement complaints to search engines and web hosting companies, falsely claiming that negative articles about its clients had previously been published elsewhere and stolen, and so should be removed or hidden, the company records show.”

@Lunatech For macos try Monal (https://monal-im.org/). Btw. you do not need to "secure" prosody by filtering src IPs. Just filter the destination ports (5222, 5223, 5269, 5270) and use proper passwords.
