Hmm, I guess facebook doesn't have to go through IRB for human subject experiments, nor does Science require it, apparently.

  I didn't read the paper. <== Creating an AI to lie seems like the Wrong Path. Zuckerberg should shut this down ASAP. If that's the case.

  That's nothing. Someone trained a GPT-J 6B model on 4chan and then let the model loose on the forums for a day. It took about 15k messages until people suspected something was off, and even that was because the country flags, Seychelles, a rare flag on 4chan, were a giveaway. video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM model: https://huggingface.co/ykilcher/gpt-4chan https://huggingface.co/ykilcher/gpt-4chan

  IRB is for the government.

  Do you actually think it would be a good thing if an IRB was required for this type of thing? Sure, it's "human experimentation" but the likelihood for any serious harm is basically zero. It goes with the zeitgeist to argue for what makes the life of big tech companies hard, but they are big enough that they can afford things like that. It's smaller companies and academics that would end up not being able to innovate as much Go down that road and you end up with an IRB evaluation requires for an A/B test that changes the color of a button

    Agreed. This is using an AI to play a game, IRB seems like overkill. I guess the only potential problem is if it went off the rails and spouting toxic language, but that presumably was not a real possibility.
