about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country
Very interesting read.
Finally, wanting to protect privacy was often seen by participants as a desire to hide shameful secrets in order to save face. Here too, surveillance is viewed positively, as a tool to unmask shady behaviours and promote morality.
Damn.
In short, the way the Chinese citizens I spoke to experience digital surveillance is characterized by strong psychic tensions: the same persons who support surveillance as being indispensable in the Chinese context are also and nevertheless expressing the heavy burden that coping with such exposure places on them.
I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.
I wouldn’t call pasting verbatim training data hallucination when it fits the prompt. It’s not necessarily making stuff up.
I feel like you’re unfittingly mixing tool target behavior with technical limitations. Yes, it’s not knowingly reasoning. But that doesn’t change that the user interface is a prompt-style, with the goal of answering.
I think it’s fitting terminology for encompassing multiple issues of false answers.
How would you call it? Only by their specific issues? Or would you use a general term, like “error” or “wrong”?
Makes you wonder how they identified them. If they know what he wrote and he was using a VPN, it’s r either state prosecution receiving information from VPN provider and/or discord, them sharing personal info, or backdoors being used.
Does discord respond to Chinese inquiries? The Twitter example with mobile phone numbers makes me think that may be the most likely identification.
Too bad the article lacks these details.

I was so confused by the link not going to GitHub. (and the Lemmy instance looks very different from mine)
As a society, we’re responsible for all our children. The point of child protection laws, and population protection in general, is to support and protect them, because often times, parents are incapable of doing so, or it’s social dynamics that most parents can’t really understand, follow, or teach in.
Yes, parents should teach and protect their children. But we should also create an environment where that is possible, and where children of less fortunate and of less able parents are not victims of their environment.
I don’t think demanding and requiring big social platforms to moderate and regulate at least to the degree where children are not regularly exposed to life-threatening trends is a bad idea.
That stuff can still be elsewhere if you want it. But social platforms have a social dynamic, more so than an informative one.
Crazy. Crazy that that works as a business strategy.
