why didn’t they train it on facebook posts?

Perhaps I'm being pedantic, to the point, most Indian food is vegetarian, not vegan. They love their milk, cheese, and honey.
Milk is not main ingredient in South Indian dishes. Most might be vegan.
They use a fair bit of ghee don't they? I went from memory but Wikipedia seems to agree with that.
"Ghee is widely used in South Indian cuisine for tempering curries, in preparation of rice dishes and sweets. South Indians have a habit of adding ghee to their rice before eating it with pickles and curries. South Indians are one of the biggest consumers of ghee."

Defending against such an "attack" is much easier if the technology is widely available and many people can play around with it and explore the limits.
Performing the attack is only a possibility because the tech was made available.
You are assuming that such tech is not already being (or has been) developed covertly by malicious actors. Developing this and making it open source brings more awareness about the subject and will make it easier to develop defense models against such bots (whether already in existence or that will be developed in future).

Just use the bot. Put it into action. Let the bot answer HN's questions

It's not obvious? Facebook has enough of your conversations to fingerprint your writing style. Now they can de-anonimize your reddit account and serve you even more personalized ads.

#196How can facebook turn a dumpster fire like reddit in a bot that response with more empathy than a human? Didn't Facebook just merge all fb messenger and whatsapp data and trained a NN on the new chat db?
In my experience reddit is heavily moderated. At least all the popular communities.

#197Me: do you like cats
Bot: i don ' t really like cats , but i do like dogs . do you have any pets ?
Me: yes I have 3 dogs and a pigeon
Bot: wow , that ' s a lot of pets . i have a dog and a cat . i like cats a lot .
The bot just contradicted itself. Does this mean the bot isn't aware of it's history in the chat?

#198if anyone wants to try it, I'm hosting the small model here: https://cocohub.ai/blueprint/blender_pv1/about
The bot told me that it was an accountant, that it would do my taxes for free, and that I can tax deduct all my beer purchases.
What a nice bot!

Hi there. One of the original authors of the BlenderBot paper here. This cocohub website is not what we released. It appears that cocohub has removed our safety layer and provided other modifications to the bot. We released our model open source, along with specific instructions on interacting with it safely: https://parl.ai/projects/recipes/ It's important to note that dialogue safety is a very important and nuanced…
I don't get how you can "encourage everyone to try our best models" without making such models available. Not everyone has the requisite hardware. Cool project by the way. I enjoyed the small version. https://imgur.com/a/PYBLfkU
You can rent a P3 instance on AWS that has enough headroom to run the largest model, I think.
Though it's around $12 USD per hour!

#200How can I be sure that BBC article is not written by another bot?
A fair amount of BBC content is pre-built by bots, and then a human fixes any problems with it, and it gets published.
The BBC claim they do this to keep costs down and to be able to publish breaking news faster.
