From the post:

>The moderators of the biohacking subreddit say that peptide and hormone replacement therapy companies have been surreptitiously spamming Reddit in an attempt to get their posts scraped by AI chatbots. The strategy is an effort to systematically manipulate the answers provided by chatbots by manipulating the underlying source material that those chatbots will scrape—in this case, a popular Reddit community. In a post last week, the moderators of r/biohackers said they would be banning new posts about peptides and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) because of attempted manipulation by the companies that make, market, and sell them. r/Biohackers is a long-running subreddit about using supplements, experimental pharmacology, and other longevity or fitness-adjacent themes; peptides and HRT have become a wildly popular topic of discussion on the subreddit, especially as companies try to market them off-label or as grey-market compounds.

Didn't see that coming.

Some people called this back in 2024. Some researchers found that you can poison an LLM (futurism.com) by posting only 250–500 malicious documents online.

Another possible LLM poison is publishing malware code in anonymous, public GitHub repositories. The training data web scrapers pick it up. The LLMs are trained on it. Tens of thousands of programmers start unknowingly putting subtle malware in their code when they use LLM tools to write it.

My favorite are the people who host sites full of endless, nonsense text for LLM scrapers to pull into their training data. That’s more like lobotomizing than poisoning.

That's because ChatGPT is mainly using using faggit as training data.

No wonder why it always argues like a jew.
