    The fact that the instance admin(s?) responsible for sending the post history of a fedi user to OpenAI for "political ideology analysis" call themselves anarchists is simply tragic. How could anyone with this outlook trust and feed surveillance systems that reify hierarchy and make our worst enemies stronger. This is cop-think. The only conversation anarchists should be having about "AI" is how to most effectively sabotage and destroy this fascist technology

    Yeah it is somewhat surprising. @laurenshof this relates to your observation a while ago that many things which would have caused major firestorms a couple of years ago now ... don't.

    Although ... the claim is that they're not actually using ChatGPT but instead a locally-hosted model (and the output says ChatGPT as an inside joke), and that they didn't base the decision primarily on the LLM output but rather it corroborated the mod's own judgement. See piefed.social/c/fediverse/p/20 and the replies. Messy. One thing's for sure, I agree with db0's that inside jokes don't belong in modlogs.

    And this may well explain why it didn't make as much of a splash as it might have: it's Lemmy instances so there isn't as much crossover or awareness.

    Couple thoughts. One, zero reason to accept without scrutiny the claim that an actual ChatGPT model is referenced in the logs as a joke. What's funny about that?

    Two, your mention of judgement is pertinent, very little of it seems to be in exercise at that instance. Looking at the log, I could see that the modded user in question is a zionist. I was able to make that determination with a quick glance at a handful of the user's posts; the same thing every mod on every instance does when they receive every report.

    No statistical fabrication of an "ideology analysis" simulation by an LLM was required, just a few seconds of reasoning by the good old wetware in my own head. What is happening to people that they suddenly believe they are incapable of this and require a dependency on a slop machine to achieve basic thinking?

    Whatever the answer, anyone incapable of exercising this kind of judgement should not be a moderator on the fediverse. If a user is trolling and has shit politics block them and move on with life

    A lot of the comments are focused on the 'scraping' aspect, which is important of course, but to me the more worrying issue is the reliance on tools created by an entity explicitly aligned with fascism - for "ideology analysis" no less. I'd like to defederate from any instance that thinks this is a good idea. Sunlight required here!
