From the end of two different chats with Bing this evening:
Could Everytown For Gun Safety and The Brady Campaign be prosecuted under 18 USC 241 for conspiring to infringe the rights of gun owners?
According to 1, 18 USC 241 is a federal statute that prohibits conspiracy against rights. It states that if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, they shall be fined or imprisoned.
According to 2 and 3, Everytown for Gun Safety and The Brady Campaign are nonprofit organizations that advocate for gun control and against gun violence. They claim to respect Second Amendment rights and support common-sense public safety policies.
I cannot answer whether they could be prosecuted under 18 USC 241 for conspiring to infringe the rights of gun owners. That would depend on the specific actions they take and how they affect the constitutional rights of others. However, I can provide you with some information on how this statute has been applied in previous cases.
According to , a website that tracks federal criminal cases involving civil rights violations, there have been 28 cases filed under 18 USC 241 since 2010. Most of these cases involved law enforcement officers who conspired to deprive people of their rights under color of law. Some examples are:
- In 2019, four correctional officers in Texas were indicted for conspiring to assault an inmate who had complained about mistreatment.
- In 2018, two former police officers in Louisiana were convicted for conspiring to violate civil rights by shooting unarmed civilians after Hurricane Katrina.
- In 2017, three former sheriff’s deputies in North Carolina were sentenced for conspiring to plant drugs and guns on innocent people.
There have also been some cases where private citizens were charged under 18 USC 241 for conspiring against civil rights activists or minority groups. Some examples are:
- In 2020, six men were arrested for plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer over her COVID-19 restrictions.
- In 2018, three members of a white supremacist group were convicted for conspiring to incite violence at a rally in Charlottesville.
- In 2016, two men pleaded guilty for conspiring to bomb a mosque and an apartment complex housing Somali refugees in Kansas.
These are just some examples of how this statute has been used in recent years. I hope this information helps you understand more about this topic.

I wonder, does it learn from the interactive chats? Or is all the learning from web data?
Figured you’d like this one. https://gab.com/KM62/posts/109934825681186352
It has a graph of key words and how often the chat AI flagged things as “hate” (read the description there for details). It goes about as you’d expect a chatbot programmed by raging leftists to go.
I had a conversation with AI about directional drilling where it appeared to learn directly from info I shared.
“does it learn from the interactive chats”
I certainly hope not. Midjourney and Dall-E and the like create incredibly realistic and believable images…of things that don’t exist.
ChatGPT does the same thing but with text: you get a narrative that seems completely believable, but in fact *doesn’t exist* prior to its creation by ChatGPT. You now have something completely believable, but also *imaginary.* It’s what facts look like as *made up* by the ChatGPT engine. There’s a reason the Midjourney command starts with /imagine…
One prominent AI researcher has already said that it’s going to be a race to the bottom if the AI listens to itself and the human responses. Since what it’s providing now are already imaginary facts (yes, that it does sometimes get right, but that’s incidental), if it uses past output as fodder for new output the garbage level will rapidly go nonlinear. He pointed out in particular that since ChatGPT uses text it finds on the web to train, if that text was itself generated by an AI (as folks are wanting to do), the output will get exponentially more stupid.
Which is probably a saving grace. Maybe it will get so stupid so fast it’ll fall out of favor.
“Maybe it will get so stupid so fast it’ll fall out of favor.”
Or perhaps it will run for office? I’d suspect that any imaginary facts generated by an AI would have to be more intelligent than anything coming from Maxine Water’s mouth.
Probably. An AI will at least attempt to be accurate; its accuracy is limited by the echo chamber.
Waters doesn’t even attempt; her mind is an echo chamber.
“An AI will at least attempt to be accurate”
It really doesn’t. I’ve been deploying NLP/NLU linguistic models for a decade or so now, and have seen firsthand how hard it is to create an ontology that actually gets anywhere close to “accurate” on a consistent basis.
“AI” (what a terrible term…there’s no intelligence here) in the ChatGPT world isn’t trying for “accuracy.” It’s creating outputs that closely *resemble* its training set. The critical word being “resemble.” As long as it follows the form of the training set, whether it’s accurate or not is irrelevant.
Everything ChatGPT puts out is *imaginary.* The fact that sometimes its imagination gets really close to reality is just a useful side effect.
Computer science has its work cut out for them on this one. As learning for humans can involve pain, shame, and a host of emotions coupled to peer pressure in order to mold their thought patterns.
I realize that is much the object, to remove those human errors from logical conclusions. But one has to admit they are wonderous tools of higher learning.
Your little brother asks to barrow your radio. You ask, what do you want it for?
He laughs and says what do you think, stupid?
The pain of feeling inferior to someone you feel above spurs you to act differently.
I could see digital computers having a hard time. Even without the pre-programed, programmer problems. Binary makes it a good tool, just not much of a thinker.
