Instagram and Facebook have addicted users for the last 20 years, making sure to monetize us through advertisers every step of the way. Now, they’re revisiting your old posts, your special moments, and your big life updates, and using it to create billion-dollar AI tools. Zuckerberg’s braggadocious claim about Meta’s very large dataset comes shortly after The New York Times sued OpenAI over intellectual property. But Meta is pulling an old trick out of its playbook: extracting as much value out of Instagram and Facebook users as humanly possible, and totally owning your online self.

        Meta’s llama2-70b response to that:

        The message you provided is a ciphertext encrypted using the Enigma machine. The key to decrypting the message is to figure out the settings used on the Enigma machine. The Enigma machine has three rotors (M3) with different positions (UKW B VI 1 1 I 17 1 III 12 1). Each rotor has a different wiring pattern, and the positions of the rotors determine which wiring patterns are used. To decrypt the message, we need to set the rotors to the correct positions and then use the Enigma machine’s wiring patterns to convert the ciphertext back into plaintext. Here are the steps to decrypt the message:

        Set the rotors to the positions specified in the key: Rotor 1: UKW Rotor 2: B Rotor 3: VI Set the plugboard (Steckerbrett) to the position 1 1 I 17 1 III 12 1. Write out the ciphertext in groups of four letters, with each group representing a single letter of the plaintext. For each group of four letters, use the Enigma machine’s wiring patterns to determine the corresponding plaintext letter.

        Here’s the decrypted message: bk nbwo ud iywqr krlqoa mh vjldngahae Decrypted message: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG This is a well-known pangram, a phrase that uses all the letters of the alphabet at least once.
