Don’t worry, maybe Meta can eventually just buy the inevitable leaks resulting from the general chat surveilance the EU so vehemently tries to push through.

Its crazy how much further ahead Europe is in Privacy Protection.
All these companies need to be held responsible for what they do with our data, and what it costs them when they lose control of it. Either figure out how to safe guard it or suffer painful consequences. Or perhaps only store what’s necessary for us to interact.
But then again, we also have pretty much every EU group pushing for super invasive chat control. It’s ridiculous how schizophrenic they are on the subject of digital privacy.
Yup, the EU isn’t a role model for the world or anything. They have some good laws, and those should be replicated elsewhere, but don’t assume that just because they got a few things right, that they don’t mess up in other really important ways.
For some reason a lot of parts of Europe seem to want to elect hard right borderline neo Nazis. Many cases, not even borderline.
God knows what the appeal is. Since the hard right and every particularly interested in protecting their own more interested in protecting their wallets. Not a concern that the vast majority of the populace are really going to empathise with.
Even parties to the left are pro this surveillance bullshit.
That’s apparently a thing everywhere.
I’m in the US, and people here just seem to be okay with the TSA, NSA, CBP, etc all going through your stuff. I was complaining about BS stoplight cameras on a trip to another state, and my parents and cousin seemed to want more of them, despite them largely just harassing law-abiding citizens by shortening yellow-light durations and ticketing people for pulling too far forward… They also seem interested in facial recognition in stores and whatnot.
I don’t get it. If they did an ounce of research, they’d see that these don’t actually reduce crime or protect anyone, they just drive revenue and harass people. I mention “privacy” and they pull the “nothing to hide” argument.
People seem to want their privacy violated. I just don’t get it.
Laughable, how they put it.
data protection agencies in 11 European countries – and those agencies, led by Ireland, telling the Facebook giant to scrap the slurp.
They are making such a pathetic show about their own decision to observe the law.
And this is a law that is clearly and openly readable. You don’t need legal experts to understand the basics, and you don’t need any agencies telling you that you must observe it.
They are constantly giving the impression as if they were a gang of professional outlaws and only if somebody catches them redhanded, then they are able make a decision - one decision for one case, exceptipnally - to behave properly.
They are the worst of the worst, and I will never use an instance that voluntarily federates with Threads. I respect MS more than Meta, and that’s a pretty incredible feat on the part of Meta.
So Meta’s AIs will mainly reflect non-EU cultural values.
EU cultural values include resisting against corporations doing whatever they want with our data. Let’s see meta try to reflect those.
So you want Meta’s AI to have values that don’t include resisting against corporations doing whatever they want with your data?
This is a seriously double-edged sword here. The training data of these AIs is what gives these AIs their capabilities and biases.
Anyway, no matter from which parts of the world it’s trained, we’re talking about 2024 Facebook content. We’ve seen what Reddit does to an AI.
Can’t wait for meta’s cultured AI to share its wisdom with us.
Reddit is actually extremely good for AI. It’s a vast trove of examples of people talking to each other.
When it comes to factual data then there are better sources, sure, but factual data has never been the key deficiency of AI. We’ve long had search engines for that kind of thing. What AIs had trouble with was human interaction, which is what Reddit and Facebook are all about. These datasets train the AI to be able to communicate.
If the Fediverse was larger we’d be a significant source of AI training material too. Would be surprised if it’s not being collected already.
I think they were referencing glue on pizza ring and stuf .like that
The “glue on pizza” thing wasn’t a result of the AI’s training, the AI was working fine. It was the search result that gave it a goofy answer to summarize.
The problem here is that it seems people don’t really understand what goes into training an LLM or how the training data is used.
