    Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?

    Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of

        Google’s LLMs are going to get real good at gaslighting and hating minorities in the next few years

          Google is already a pro at gaslighting even without LLMs trained on Reddit’s garbage.

          “Web integrity is for your privacy and security” my cute ass.

          Yep. Ask them if Palestine committed a genocide and they’ll parrot back the Isrsel-funded disinformation spread all over reddit “no. Israel has a right to defend itself”

          If people actually turn to LLMs for information, we’re heading to a dark place.

            The far right multimedia group Gab released an LLM for people to get answers which “the government and liberal elite keep secret”, so already happening

            Hilariously easy to jailbreak though, so I imagine it’s also piss easy to poison

            Israel committing war crimes

            Israel has a right to self-defense

            Did you know that both of these statements can be true at the same time?

              Thats like saying “all lives matter” to the BLM folks.

              Of course Israel has the right to defend itself, but the point is that 99% of their activity is offensive and they are the oppressor. that argument is double-speak.

              Israel is committing a genocide and you think that’s a reasonable response?

      Someone less lazy than me should use a script to feed existing comments into an LLM, which then reproduces a convincing sentence structure but incorrect gibberish content, and then edit all a user’s comments - gradually, not all at once - to the poisoned content. Like 4chan did with the original captcha, but on a wider scale.

      IIRC, one of the LLMs (was it OpenAI?) that crawled Reddit, had to manually remove subs like r/counting because they were messing with the training.
