interesting that they seem to say PRC's efforts had little to no impact

also, why would PRC use US models for this..?

@andymasley.bsky.social This was the one plausible but low-impact case in your article, right? Or are there two now?

fwiw oai is only pointing out 2 accounts, which is surprisingly low

i think it’s very important to call out that this is happening, but i’m also kind of unsettled that the accounts were taken down sewing discord isn’t illegal, so it seems like it should be tolerated, but also, god damn i wish it would stop

gotta say I wish we had sourcing for this that wasn't OpenAI, the incentives here are kinda rancid it's not implausible at all that it's pretty much true as written, but...

keep in mind oai reports that the generated propaganda was ineffective and dont forget to ask yourself why PRC would use oai for any of this

yeah. I think I put a decent amount of weight behind hypotheses like "it was just an engagement-baiting slop farm that happened to be Chinese, motives were financial"

yeah i think this probably happened but it’s such a “Well he would say that, wouldn’t he?” source lmao
