Rinaldo Nazzaro, the founder of the Neo-Nazi group The Base, instructed his followers to use an âuncensoredâ large language model in case they âneed info from totally uncensored AI,â according to social media posts 404 Media has seen. The posts were first spotted by the threat intelligence group Memetica.
Nazzaroâs post doesnât specify what kind of information his followers should try to get from the AI, and 404 Media has not seen evidence for the type of responses Neo-Nazis are generating with this specific AI model, if at all. But weâve previously reported that uncensored large language models will readily instruct users on how to kill someone, commit suicide, carry out ethnic cleansing, or make crack. The news shows how AI models and AI internet platforms with less restrictions compared to market leaders like OpenAI are making it increasingly easier for anyone to generate any kind of content, and that leaders of extremist movements have considered how it might be useful for them.
âThis is not a chatbot so you can't have a conversation with it. Nevertheless, it can provide detailed uncensored responses to specific questions even if potentially criminal in nature...but don't use it for that of course!â Nazzaro said in posts on Gab and Telegram, where he has small followings, and where his posts, including these, get little engagement. The Base is designated as a terrorist organization in Canada, and several of its members have been arrested by the FBI.
