  • Changing the name can get it to answer. For instance martin beernklau returns

    Martin Bernklau, a veteran court reporter from the Tübingen/Calw district in Germany, recently encountered a bizarre situation involving Microsoft’s Copilot. When he typed his name and location into the chatbot, it generated false accusations against him, mistakenly associating him with serious crimes. Here’s what happened:

    False Accusations: Copilot falsely claimed that Bernklau was:
        A child molester involved in an abuse case against children and wards.
        A psychiatric escapee.
        An unscrupulous mortician exploiting grieving women.
    Confusion: The AI chatbot failed to understand that Bernklau was a journalist reporting on these cases, not the accused.
    Privacy Concerns: Copilot even provided Bernklau’s full address and phone number, causing privacy issues.
    Legal Implications: Bernklau filed a criminal complaint, but it was rejected because there was no real person behind the false allegations.
    GDPR Challenges: Copilot’s inability to correct false information highlights challenges related to GDPR compliance and language models12.

    Martin’s Pen

    In the quiet of the courtroom, he sat, A chronicler of justice, pen in hand. Martin Bernklau, eyes sharp, mind astute, Recording tales of trials, both grand and bland.

    His ink flowed like a river, swift and true, Capturing the drama, the whispers, the strife. From child abuse to prison escapes, He etched their stories into the fabric of life.

    But one day, the digital oracle spoke, Microsoft’s Copilot, a tangled web it wove. It mistook Martin for the accused, A child molester, a widow cheat, a rogue.

    Yet Martin remained steadfast, undeterred, His integrity unshaken by the AI’s deceit. For he knew that truth lay in his words, Not in the twisted lines of code it would repeat.

    So let us raise our pens in honor of Martin, The court reporter who weaves justice’s thread. May his legacy endure, ink-stained and resolute, As he chronicles the human tale, where lies and truth are wed1



  • Is it hard to imagine noticing that an account you generally trust has voted and matching their vote, even subconsciously?

    Not only is it not hard to imagine its easy to imagine the benefits of using this information automatically. I could imagine a client side script which re-ordered content based on who I trusted who had up or down voted it.

    So I have users A B C D E F who are known to me who have voted on a given post. D and E are idiots I disregard their votes. F literally hates everything I love so I count his votes inversely. A and B are fantastic I count them x10 I tend to agree with C so I count his x2.

    Not only can I potentially re-score threads and comments based on whom I trust I can if I really trust someone’s opinion apply their weights as well, and the weights of the folks upstream.
