People in the US don't use WhatsApp, for the most part.
No, but they develop it

I get it, big stupid money hungry tech wants to put itself between you and every other person on earth for the almighty dollar.
How about we use tech to fix problems not create new ones!?

Interesting! What do people in the US generally use?

Your concern that companies like Meta and Microsoft are too scared to let users retrain their models is also irrelevant considering both of these companies have already released models so that anyone can retrain or checkpoint merge them i.e. Llama by Meta and Phi by Microsoft.
they release them to developers, not automatically retrain them unsupervised in their actual products and put them in the faces of customers to share screenshots of the AI's failures on social media and give it a bad name
They release them under permissive licences so that anyone can do that.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]yea someone could take the model and make their own product with their own PR and public perception
that's very different from directly spoonfeeding it as a product to the general public consumers inside of WhatsApp or something
it's like saying someone can mod Skyrim to put nude characters in it, that's very different from Bethesda selling the game with nude characters

To be fair, my father tends to make messages quite incomprehensible by adding irrelevant information all over the place. Sometimes going on for multiple screens while it could easily have been a 2-3 sentence message.
Sadly I think AI would even be worse at picking up what information is important from that. But I understand why people want it.
As for very active groupchats, I am not gonna read +25 messages a day, but being able to glance the gist of it would be awesome.
The exact point at which the gist of it can be manipulated, leaving out context and nudging you toward a different opinion than you might have formed if you'd read the whole thread.

They're interjecting themselves between us and our contacts. They'll have the power to "summarize", which is also the power to subtly re-interpret meaning. The AI will be given a broad goal, and it will chip away at that goal bit by bit, across millions of summaries to mold public opinion.

You're right.
They don't use WhatsApp, they use Facebook Messenger.

Trying not to be too douchey here, but ironically, your message is actually a very good example of where this technology could be beneficial.
IT is ACTUALLY not EASY to read a MESSAGE when THE CASE randomly SWITCHES back AND forth.
im going to ask chatgpt to give you a swirlie

Friend, I think you need to reconsider your world perspective a bit. Not everyone is out to get you all the time.

Sms/iMessage typically. I started using WhatsApp because my wife's from south America, where they commonly use it.

It's not difficult lol. It's not particularly pleasant, sure, but perfectly comprehendable

To be fair, when Facebook was still big the privacy advocates were being branded as paranoid. Those turned out to be right after all.

Even if the claim ends up being true, you can literally just read the messages that were sent and realize see that the summary was wrong.
