- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoHow so?
- orbital-decay 4y agoWell, it scraped the entire web, and more. It's hard to avoid overfitting with a dataset that large, so it can develop a fixation on certain data sometimes, instead of averaging out. I remember someone trying it with smaller GPT-3 models. Usually it generated fictional phone numbers and other private data about real persons, but occasionally they were real.
- wiml 4y agoHow is that different from "doxing" people by simply ... googling them?
- orbital-decay 4y agoUsing search engines is a large part of doxing, so I suppose it's not different at all.
