Как один модератор Reddit подорвал репутацию буткэмпа Codesmith и уничтожил его бизнес на 23,5 млн долларов.

В 2013 году Уилл Сентенс основал Codesmith — одну из самых дорогих и престижных программ-школ в США. Через 7 лет компания стоит 23,5 млн долларов и обучает 70 человек. Но в 2020 году конкурент Michael Novati стал модератором главного сабреддита отрасли и начал ежедневно обвинять Codesmith в «секте, мошенничестве и прочих грехах». Под давлением репутационной атаки компания потеряла 80% выручки, сократилась до 15 человек и в итоге закрылась. Сентенс ушёл, но атака продолжается до сих пор.

• Reddit и другие платформы страдают от проблемы модераторов, которые используют свою власть в корыстных целях, что подрывает доверие к платформе и подрывает справедливость.
• Модераторы могут быть заинтересованы в продвижении определенных продуктов или компаний, что создает конфликт интересов и подрывает объективность платформы.
• Платформы должны быть осторожны с тем, кто они допускают в качестве модераторов, чтобы избежать злоупотреблений и сохранить доверие пользователей.

Discord подтвердил, что в результате инцидента с поставщиком услуг клиентской поддержки могли быть скомпрометированы документы, касающиеся до 70 000 пользователей. Компания подчеркивает, что атакующие распространяют ложную информацию как часть вымогательской кампании. Пока неясно, какие именно данные были затронуты, но Discord утверждает, что «большинство» из них ограничиваются адресом электронной почты, номером телефона и/или имени пользователя.

• Discord и другие компании продолжают собирать и хранить документы удостоверяющие личность, несмотря на то, что они не могут их защитить.
• Пользователи, которые предоставили свои документы, теперь подвержены риску, что их личные данные могут быть украдены.
• Сторонние подрядчики, которые обрабатывают документы удостоверяющие личность, не могут быть идентифицированы, что делает невозможным для пользователей понять, кто именно имеет доступ к их личным данным.
• Пользователи, которые не предоставили свои документы, не могут получить доступ к сервису.
• Пользователи, которые предоставили свои документы, теперь не могут быть уверены, что их личные данные не будут использованы для других целей.

Подробности расследования говорят о том, как новые технологии могут быть использованы в преступных целях. Подозреваемый, как утверждается, использовал ChatGPT для генерации изображений горящих лесов и городских пейзажей, что представляет собой новейший пример использования искусственного интеллекта в подстрекательстве к реальным разрушениям. Это первый зарегистрированный случай, когда генеративный ИИ применяется для планирования и сокрытия природного пожара.

Власти заявили, что данные, полученные из его устройств, показывают, что Риндеркнаут не только искал информацию о создании пожаров, но и использовал чат-бот для создания изображений, которые соответствуют реальным сценам возгорания в Палисадес. Эти изображения, по-видимому, служили как вдохновением, так и руководством.

Инцидент поднимает вопросы о регулировании ИИ, особенно в контексте его потенциального использования в преступной деятельности.
