I don’t root for any team, and I have no idea how you managed to assume that if you read what I said.

I mean, you literally told me you were okay with the Chinese government’s intimidation plan, so yeah, I do have to ask. Nationalism is a hell of a drug, and ironically it’s very international in where it’s spread.

Among other things, I’d believe it because Wakmrow admitted to its existence, and then proceeded to tell me that its targets deserved it. Disturbing stuff from Lemmy, honestly.

Harassing groups of people internationally is bad and evil, is it not? “China” is not bad, no ethic or national block is, but policies like this are.

Harassing people across national borders because they disagree with you is bad, actually.

Calling ethnic and religious groups vermin is bad, actually.

… Right?

I’m perfectly willing to accept information when the evidence provided suggests the conclusion.

The evidence provided does suggest the conclusion. You just apparently distrust the source along nationalist lines. Predictable but unfortunate.

Most arguments for surveillance (and all authoritarianism) boil down to either saving the children or fighting an eternal enemy. Obviously OpenAI does surveil all its users, but the “for the children” argument would hurt their user numbers (I wanted to say it would hurt their profits, but they don’t profit off of any user). Thus, it’s “but China” instead.

Everybody knows OpenAI is where you open up about stuff. That’s why they named it that, right?

Tankie is when you’re Chinese apparently.

No, it’s when you post pro Stalin stuff on c/communism. Please don’t engage in bad faith arguments like this.

It’s just not believable… so obviously fabrication for altman to show what a good boy he is

Okay, so you do believe it’s a conspiracy between multiple parties to manufacture a lie to get onto CNN. That’s just your position. No strawman needed.

I agree that Sam Altman is probably trying to deflect from all the (well-deserved) bad press he’s getting right now… but if he was going to make up a story, it should have been closer to when he got caught helping teens kill themselves.

Good job, buddy. You’re advocating for giving cult numbers a reason to stay in the cult.

Do you feel the same way about the other four poisons? Are freedom advocates and Muslims fair game "poison"s too? Can we just call them vermin?

It’s a cult, I get it. Do you think that makes internationally harassing them okay?

How about the other four groups called “poison”?

People connected to the UFWD have been accused of harassing and intimidating activists and critics, largely from groups China defines as the “Five Poisons” – advocates for independence or greater freedom for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and followers of the banned spiritual movement Falun Gong.

It sounds like you’re demanding a level of proof that’s basically impossible to provide to you.

What do you think is more likely?

1. This is a high level conspiracy between multiple parties to make one Chinese official look dumb, or
2. ChatGPT attracts dumb people, who exist worldwide

This official didn’t just expose state secrets. They were using ChatGPT in the dumbest way I can imagine:

ChatGPT served as a journal for the Chinese operative to keep track of the covert network, while much of the network’s content was generated by other tools and spread through social media accounts and websites.

A journal. A freaking journal.

From a chatbot that is known to change text on a whim.
