[FRIAM] GhostGPT

[Marcus Daniels]

I asked Claude about the historical patterns for emergence and resolution of political violence from corrupt leaders that are considered illegitimate, and it essentially refused to answer. ChatGPT was more forthcoming..

oddly, considering chatting with such an LLM, feels like choosing to 
engage with a sociopath? Or maybe a psychopath? Why I find Trump's 
fascination with Hannibal Lector effing creepy. I *have* pushed GPT up 
to some of it's limits and even enjoyed doing so, but not sure how I'd 
feel about it not having any limits?

Seems like a good design for a "honeypot" trap... ATF or FBI creating 
an LLM happy to collude with would-be terrorists on all kinds of things 
that perhaps legal or at least ethical boundaries would not allow field 
agents to do? Might sweep up every highly disturbed teen with 
ideation and access to school shooting tools before they actually went 
into the schools and started shooting? Or lead to a whole new suite of 
Trump-Pardons for what he would call "hostages"?

Shades of PK Dick's "Minority Report"?
