Correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but
We are normalizing dataset poisoning and obfuscation as an industry, so that companies will be able to covertly change the LLM's behavior.
More and more people use LLMs instead of algorithmic search engines (consciously or not).
What if someone injects alternate history? No Taiwan? No Holocaust?
What if the open source models that people can afford to build on will be poisoned like that, and so their dictionaries and assistants will spew propaganda?
I was today years old when I learned that companies now want to manipulate #LLM datasets to inject ads into them and monitor their brand standing in #ChatGPT and other models live.
I don't think I understood #capitalism enough to work with #futurism .
I think that it doesn't get repeated often enough:
#ClimateChange protests can get people's attention, but cannot sustain it.
Only new narratives and visions of sustainable futures on societal scale can make people think about alternatives for a longer while. Consider them possible.
Like #solarpunk .
We need to make a sustainable, just world imaginable, otherwise each new protest, no matter how loud, will just fizzle out and be forgotten.
