Very interesting and important. Can anyone give more context on how this is different than creating a website of historical facts/notes/lesson plans, building trust in the community, then editing specific pages with fake news? (Or creating a instragram/TikTok/etc rather than a website)
It is similar. The only difference I get is the scale and how easy it is to detect.
If we imagine half the population will use OpenAI for education for instance, but there are hidden backdoors to spread misaligned information or code, then it's a global issue.
Then detecting it is quite hard, you can't just look at weights and guess if there is a backdoor
