    Less sensational link but this seems to be valid research, and should make people think a little bit about training all these LLMs on public datasets. (wait input from the internet is not to be trusted? astronaut.jpg)

    Anyway, this also remind me of the period I saw far right people trying to poison certain common words as slurs for people they disliked (in some weird 4d chess move, both in some move of plausible deniability and in a move to go something like ‘if we call jewish people gems, they cannot block us as then they would need to block the word gems!’ dumb move). Didn’t seem to work thankfully.
