A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Gab is another far right social media site and I guess they implemented "their own" chatbot, which is definitely not GPT-4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gab_(social_network)

They definitely didn't train their own model; there are only a few places in the world that can do that and Gab isn't one of them. Almost every one of these bots, as I understand it, is a frontend over one of the main models (usually GPT or Mistral or Llama.)

I only spent a short time with this one but I am pretty confident it's not GPT-4. No idea why that part is in the prompt; maybe it's a leftover from an earlier iteration. The Gab bot responds too quickly and doesn't seem as capable as GPT-4 (and also, I think OpenAI's content filters just wouldn't allow a prompt like this.)

fun fact: gab supports federation over activitypub and should probably be blocked by everyone

Pretty sure they blocked everyone else if they haven't been blocked already. They're basically already blocked by everyone lol.
