They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.
Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.
Hahaha, as someone that works in AI research, good luck to them. The first is a very hard problem that won’t just be prompt engineering with your OpenAI account (why not just use 3D blueprints for weapons that already exist?) and the second is certifiably stupid. There are plenty of ways to make bombs already that don’t involve training a model that’s an expert in chemistry. A bunch of amateur 8chan half-brains probably couldn’t follow a Medium article, let alone do ground breaking research.
But like you said, if they want to test the viability of those bombs, I say go for it! Make it in the garage!

Next on the news: “Hitler ate bread.”
I’m being cheeky, but I don’t genuinely think that “Nazi are using a tool that is being used by other people” is newsworthy.
Regarding the blue octopus, mentioned in the end of the text: when I criticise the concept of dogwhistle, it’s this sort of shit that I’m talking about. I don’t even like Thunberg; but, unless there is context justifying the association of that octopus plushy with antisemitism, it’s simply a bloody toy dammit.
Is this just some media manipulation to give a bad name on AI by connecting them with Nazis despite that it’s not just them benefiting from AI?
Sounds like something an AI-loving Nazi would say!
Seriously, though, yes. This was exactly my first thought. There are plenty of reasons to be apprehensive about AI, but conflating it with Nazis is just blatant propaganda.
Nazis do thrive by spreading misinformation though, and AIs are great at presenting false information in a way that makes it look believable
You are right. But I’m mostly observing how much of the newsfeed headlines talk about how AI is dangerous and dystopian (which can be especially done by bad actors e.g. the Neo-Nazis mentioned in the article, but the fear-mongering headlines outnumber more neutral or sometimes positive ones. Then again many news outlets benefit from such headlines anyway regardless of topic), and this one puts the cherry on top.
If neo nazis are deliberately trying to train the AIs that feed into everyone’s workflow, I think it is newsworthy despite what all the other headlines say.
The Neo Nazis are the threat, the AI is being abused.
I think this is a misunderstanding of how most of the AI that feed into workflows work. Most of them don’t dynamically re-train live based off how users are using them. At least not outside of the context of that user/chat instance.
Most likely what these and others are doing is to download pre-trained open source AI datasets thrn and run them locally so they aren’t restrained by any of the commercial AI’s limitations on what they will and won’t output to users. I highly doubt there’s enough material out there to truly train a new AI model on only explicitly racist material. This is just a bunch of assholes doing prompt engineering on open source models running locally.
Oh, if it’s being run locally, then I’ve fundamentally misunderstood the situation. Thanks for pointing it out.
So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯
Yep, pretty much.
Musk tried creating an anti-woke AI with Grok that turned around and said things like:
Or
And Gab, the literal neo Nazi social media site trying to have an Adolf Hitler AI has the most ridiculous system prompts I’ve seen trying to get it to work, and even with all that it totally rejects the alignment they try to give it after only a few messages.
This article is BS.
They might like to, but it’s one of the groups that’s going to have a very difficult time doing it successfully.
I wouldn’t say that Gab used to be an exclusively neo Nazi site, but now that Twitter allows standard conservative discussions, all the normal people probably left Gab for Twitter and now Gab is probably more of a Nazi shithole.
I have seen openly Jewish people on Gab but you couldn’t go 10 posts without finding something blatantly racist.
Twitter has always allowed and coddled “standard conservative discussions.”
The purpose of the piece is to smear the notion of individual control and development of AI tools. It’s known as ‘running propaganda’.
So are non neo-nazis.
Nazis are all in on vegetarianism.
This is totally not an attempt to make a bad faith argument against vegetarianism btw.
Just another coffin in the nail of the internet, something that could have been so wonderful, a proto-hive mind full of human knowledge and creativity, and now it’s turning to shite
Solidarity amongst the working class is not profitable to the 1%.
A strange source has found a few shitty generated memes. That’s not journalism at all.
It’s a hitpiece.
A hit piece on Nazis?
A hit-piece on AI.
Trying to associate AI and anyone that uses it with Nazis.
I’d be more worried about finding which foreign governments and or intelligence agencies are using these extremist groups as proxies to sow dissent and division in the west, and cutting them off.
I’m happy with outgroup x being able to develop their own AIs, because that means I’m able to develop AIs too.
Because nobody will put up with their crap they have to talk to autocorrect
WEER OLL GUNNA DYE
Promise?
Go fuck yourself Wired. This used to be a cool magazine written by people in the know, now it’s Murdoch-grade fearmongering.

Everyone is using AI to spread misinformation. But journalists are mainly focusing on Right Wingers using AI to spread misinformation. 🤔
Maybe because that is more dangerous than any other use?
Odd that it said Nazis and you said right wringer. I’m glad you see they are the same though.
