"When we detect users who are planning to harm others, we route their conversations to specialized pipelines where they are reviewed by a small team trained on our usage policies and who are authorized to take action, including banning accounts," the blog post notes. "If human reviewers determine that a case involves an imminent threat of serious physical harm to others, we may refer it to law enforcement."

See? Even the people who make AI don't trust it with important decisions. And the "trained" humans don't even see it if the AI doesn't flag it first. This is just a microcosm of why AI is always the weakest link in any workflow.

This is exactly the use-case for an LLM and even OpenAI can't make it work.

Local models. Can't be surveiled if your ai isn't on the internet.

Pretty much every corporately owned service on the Internet actively spies on you for the police.

An important thing to understand as authoritarians take control of governments and start using this comprehensive spying apparatus to target political opponents.

Learn to use your computer. Use open sourced tools and software, invest in your own hardware and host your own services. It doesn’t require years of learning or study, you can often get by with a video or two.

My Jellyfin server doesn’t call the police. My local language models don’t store everything I’ve ever written. Nobody is scanning my NextCloud server or mining my Signal/Matrix/Jami contacts to determine my social graph.

All of this is running on cheap leftover hardware (with some new hard drives) and I save over $100/mo on the equivalent services. And way more if you consider access to every streaming service with exclusive content.

Windows is spying on you, Meta is spying on you, Google is spying on you, Amazon is spying on you, OpenAI is spying on you.

They do this because they make it slightly easier to use software and so people give up every bit of privacy and autonomy for their entire lives just to avoid reading a wiki or learning a technical skill.

I don’t think that that is a good deal.

"Hey ChatGPT, how many human corpses can 12 pigs who haven't been fed in a week process"?

Funny, now you'll have the cops arresting you for prompts like "how to survive being homeless?", rather than social services when you prompt "how to avoid being homeless?".

And will authorities be called when someone prompts "how to shoot wild animals?" when asking about wildlife photography? 😆

For what crime?

Describing the desire to commit a crime? Not illegal

Writing fantasy about a world beyond the restrictions of current day moral laws? Not illegal

Jokingly telling ai you did a crime to see how it would react? Not illegal.

Is this the same guy that said he wanted us all to have personal, unrestricted models at some point?

Well if idiots share their crime plans with a corpoo, what do they expect.

However, police won't do anything.

But even if they do, prosecutors won't.

Just look at that incident in Nevada with Israeli pedophile.

Cops bust him, federal prosecutor refused to charge him..

Laws are enforced selectively

Of course they are. They are a literal data farm. People need to stop using it.

there is no such thing as privacy online. assume everything you type is seen or will be seen

Lazy authors of crime themed novels are sweating so heavily right now.

Sam Altman belongs in prison. His machine encouraged and guided a child to kill themselves. His machine actively stopped that child seeking outside help. Sam Altman belongs in prison. Sam Altman does not need another $20,000,000,000,000. He needs to go through the legal system and be sentenced and sent to prison because his machine pushed a child to suicide.

This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can't be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren't.

Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won't have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.

And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won't be able to function in society without it.

AI won't rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn't being talked enough and how eminent it is.

I’m cool with this! OpenAI ought to send those suicide instructions it created for that teen and send it to those pigs for some inspo :)

I mean, I see this as a consequence of all these articles about people using ChatGPT for harmful things

Yo, I was just joking about making a gallon of PCP

Lmao no fucking SHIT.

I eagerly await the day when a majority of people understand that all technology will eventually be used against them by the state.

Self-harm doesn't count apparently

I gotta say... imagine being the police department on the receiving end of that firehose.

Can call the police when you threaten to hurt others, actively prevents teens from seeking outside help when they talk about killing themselves.

This sounds like PR deflection from egging on the kid to suicide. But I still don't doubt it.

All of it will be justified with that guy who killed himsefl after talking to ChatGPT.

All of this is so fucking bizarre I can't even wrap my head around it anymore. It's a bot. How the fuck is it suddenly killing people? How is talking to a bot a crime now? Did everyone lose their minds?

Well there's another reason to not use ChatGPT: "Tell me good slogans against the government" can get you arrested!

do you mean to tell me that a service provider is cooperating with authorities? holy garbage crab

Since they can report content to the police, then they should also be able to send deeply suicidal person's content to related parents or emergency institutions. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgerwp7rdlvo
