When a white supremacist dating platform billed as a “Tinder for Nazis” was wiped off the internet by a hacker earlier this winter, the story sounded like something out of a tech thriller. But for Canadian employers, the fallout could be very real. The site, called WhiteDate, catered to people whose profiles openly embraced fascism, “national socialism” and explicitly racist ideology. According to a report by CBC, Root trained a chatbot on a large language model to pose as a like-minded user on WhiteDate, gathering conversations and personal details before the site’s operators noticed anything was wrong. They later helped make the data searchable through a site called OKStupid and shared the trove with the transparency collective Distributed Denial of Secrets, which released it under the name “WhiteLeaks,” reported Futurism.
