    Last spring, security experts raised concerns that malign actors, including Russian propaganda networks, were churning out massive volumes of disinformation in an effort to seed AI models with lies, a process called “LLM grooming”.

    The russians are grooming our wholesome pedophilia engines angry-hex

    In June, concerns were raised in the US Congress that Google’s Gemini repeated the Chinese government’s position on human rights abuses in Xinjiang and China’s Covid-19 policies.

    The actual fucking story they have is US billionaires openly conspiring to push reactionary lies, even if it actively harms their AI models. Instead, they mention unsourced “concerns” about China and Russia, no sources, no fact checking, nothing. Would they count their own journalism as “malign actors chruning out massive volumes of disinformation”? Because I don’t see how it’s not.

    They might say, ‘oh, ChatGPT is citing it, these models are citing it, it must be a decent source, surely they’ve vetted it’ – and they might go there and look for news about Ukraine,” said Jankowicz.

    I wonder why this “disinformation researcher” randomly brings up Ukraine as the topic we can’t allow people to read the “wrong” things about.

    • A double-major in Russian and political science, Jankowicz graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2011 and spent a semester at Herzen State Pedagogical University in Russia in 2010. In 2017, she was a Fulbright fellow in Kyiv, working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
    • In April 2022, Jankowicz’ selection to head the newly formed Disinformation Governance Board of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was announced.
    • She is a former member of the wizard rock band The Moaning Myrtles.
