Episode notes
GPT-4chan Controversy
- Yannick Kilcher released GPT-4chan, a model trained on 4chan's toxic sub-community.
- He deployed bots using this model on 4chan, causing controversy and model takedown.
Model Accessibility
- Releasing a pre-trained model significantly lowers the barrier to misuse, like spreading hate speech.
- While datasets and training scripts existed, a readily available model amplifies the potential harm.
Restricting Model Access
- Restrict access to potentially harmful models, even for research purposes.
- Hugging Face's gating feature offers a way to control access and prevent widespread misuse.
