OpenAI has published a report
Into the trash it goes.
Free toilet paper 😃😃
OpenAI still acts like there are absolutely none Chinese LLM. Sounds more like a fever dream. I wonder if they also did the exact checks on American user accounts and I am quite certain you will also see hundreds of Americans prompting the same thing.
Fun Fact: the American Govt. has okay'ed giving China GPU's now that they get a cut of the profits. 🙄
Open ai doesn't understand propaganda or this was their half hearted attempt to say "well the CCP wants you to think like that"
We need a radio free America paid for by the Chinese.
Sam Altman seems to be a massive cunt
He raped his younger sister
What, sauce?
Really?
I think this just shows that it's not stopping. They can say the most ridiculous statements in their defense and everyone just moves on.
So... So they ran an information campaign?
They educated us for free
Well, someone has to.
Sigh... no, they don't actually.
Anyone saying anything true about the american tech industry, or about anything at all, could be a secret asset in the employ of the Chinese government. They can't be trusted.
Why the fuck make up lies for your propaganda when you dont have to.
Thanks China
Damn the evil CCCCP and their nefarious plot to *checks notes* tell the truth
The best propaganda is always the truth.
Genuinely why I hate anti-america/anti-capitalism propaganda based off lies. You don't need to lie when just telling the truth is damning. The lies just undermine everything when they're exposed, makes people question even the facts.
I've said this to people so many times, and they get all up in arms making strawman arguments about how I'm supposedly in favor of the thing they're against.
Like, no, if I thought you were flat out wrong and I had a differing opinion then I would tell you that. If I critique your argument on the grounds that it weakens itself by relying on misinformation, then chances are I probably agree on the bigger picture.
Some people, man...
Don't feed the trolls... or the psyops either I guess. I don't care which category of people who abuse logical fallacies are, I just know that some people go out of their way to not fall into those traps and their statements are much more worth my time engaging with.
The best propaganda is always the truth.
When they shut down the RT America studio under the foreign agents law and direct TV intervention, they did interviews with the ex-RT dissident-esq reporters who were working there. I don't remember who, and who was interviewing, so take this with a grain of salt. When they were asked on the lines of how they felt working for Russian propaganda and information campaign. They said along the lines of that of all the networks they had worked on, they were never felt as free as when they worked on RT, and they were quite open that it was all part of bringing up narratives that would disrupt the American mainstream ones and create political disruption and doubt. Their handlers in Moscow knew that the best way to achieve this was just to give them reach and mostly uncensored platform and let them do mostly whatever they want, because they knew that just bringing out the truth was the most damaging thing to American establishment.
dint TRUMP immediately brought back RT, at least thier propagandist reporters to WH as part of press conference.
John Kiriakou, former CIA officer who blew the whistle on the US's torture program, had a RT podcast/radio show where he could say anything he liked.
they were never felt as free as when they worked on RT
I assume these reporters were not the ones reporting on the state of russia
It was RT USA, I assume that they still never felt that they had a freedom to bite the hand that fed them, but that was not why most of them were there, to focus on dunking on Russia. But not biting the hand that feeds you is the reality for every reporter that isn't totally independent.

"Facts that happened to be true"
Please, shut the fuck up. Fucking shut the fuck up. I am at the end of my wits with this place.
As opposed to, what, facts that aren't true? Those aren't facts at all.
"Alternative facts"
As opposed to just calling them facts because they are.

Its funny because you can use any number and people are shocked because how how its framed. When i compared the numbers vs other industry I was like oh its a nothing burger and Americans are being brainwashed again.
The real story is not about Chines influence on data center opinion.
Its openai reading conversations of their customers.
I mean we all already assumed they do before but this is so blatend, it smells like manufactured consent. You need to go from “suspect it happens” to “its normal to be like this”
If anyone, ever, at any point, expected OpenAI to never use anything in their chatlogs... I don't know what to say.
Their proof is a couple accounts in China asked the chatbot how to convince Americans to not want datacenters in their backyard...
If I asked a chatbot how to convince someone to not like getting punched in the dick, them not wanting to get punched in the dick doesn't mean there's a grand conspiracy and that's why Bob got mad after being punched in the dick.
Bob didn't need anyone to tell him not to like getting punched in the dick to have that response.
If you think Bob is a person with his own opinions and autonomy, yes. If you think Bob is just a nameless cow in the herd with no capability of autonomy and actualization, Bob's dislike of being punched in the dick couldn't possibly be anything except the neighbor farmer trying to fuck with your profits.

They asked ChatGPT about how to influence Americans views on AI, apparently.
Sure thing.
Imagine how fucking dumb our world has gotten that the discussion is, "china used our specific software to plot the destruction of our specific software using propaganda that accidentally turned out to be true" and not, "company uses VPN to blame China for their shitty practices."
