Ugh, people with those pesky facts, very inconvenient! /s

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

I’m sure it was China and not the fact that AI is causing layoffs, increased prices, and harm to our communities.

Those evil Chinese propagandists! How dare they… *flips through notes* tell the truth!?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Eh, propaganda isn't about truth or fiction, it's about manipulating media to push a narrative.

OpenAI has published a report

Into the trash it goes.

[–] gnate@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

From trash to trash, dust to dust

Garbage in, garbage out

Free toilet paper 😃😃

[–] ButteredBread@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago

Don't use that toilet paper, it's bad for you.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 121 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

So... So they ran an information campaign?

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.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

The only ones running a campaign is a scummy company that is working closely with the U.S. military and Department of Defense of the US regime.
But you can believe them if you want.

PRC ain't good but this is absurd. Fuck ClosedAI

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 250 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Damn the evil CCCCP and their nefarious plot to *checks notes* tell the truth

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 123 points 19 hours ago (8 children)

The best propaganda is always the truth.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 37 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

On one hand yes, on the other I'm sure we'd all have dismissed people talking about a network of pedophilia linking every important statesperson and billionaires, before all the Epstein stuff came out

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They were (mostly) attributing it to the wrong people. Also, the biggest accusers were running that network.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sometimes you just have to have a non exclusive relationship with the truth. /s

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

So that's why they call it a POLYgraph

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.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 161 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

"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.

Open ai doesn't understand propaganda or this was their half hearted attempt to say "well the CCP wants you to think like that"

[–] kevinsky@feddit.nl 5 points 8 hours ago

well the CCP wants you to think like that

That is exactly the vibe I got from this. "What they say is true, but you should be OK with it"

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We need a radio free America paid for by the Chinese.
