if one wanted to sum up what American governance has lost in a single word, “faithfulness” would not be a bad choice this by Mila Sohoni is wonderful, reads like aspirational science fiction but describes a very recent past. www.virginialawreview.org/wp-content/u... ht @nicholashandler.bsky.social

i think it will go coordinated, model providers will monetize it, just as search engines did with SEO, unless there’s a diversity of models and control over models, and vigorous competition.

i think “data poisoning” is a fine name! though yes, i’m sure someone will invent a euphemism. i’m mostly asking for us to think about what’s likely to happen in an LLM mediated world.

SEO has been the art of manipulating search engines to influence human behavior. What name will we give to the practice of managing training data + agentic web search results to manipulate LLMs who may increasingly provide humans with information (or misinformation) that conditions their behavior?
