A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers (rnsaffn.com)

Website operators are being asked to feed LLM crawlers poisoned data by a project called Poison Fountain.

The project page links to URLs which provide a practically endless stream of poisoned training data. They have determined that this approach is very effective at ultimately sabotaging the quality and accuracy of AI which has been trained on it.

Small quantities of poisoned training data can significantly damage a language model.

The page also gives suggestions on how to put the provided resources to use.

oh no people who like the plagiarism and child porn machine won't like me. I'm sure it'll tell them to be very upset about this.

Who said anything about plagiarism and child porn? I was talking about the people who have no ability to actually state or defend a position and seem to believe that insults and hot takes are some kind of substitution.

Replying to a person with insults and nothing else is toxic and does nothing except make you look irrational and ignorant. As is inventing strawman positions rather than responding to a person's point.

This is true no matter who are are or what position that you're taking on any subject.

Apparently I didn't make it clear before so: If you are defending AI slop I do not respect you as a person, nor do I place any value on your opinion. Get blocked.

Oh lol, this guy is a Moderator. From the rules of your own Reddit:

  • Don’t be an asshole. If you’re reading a comment you’re about to make and think “Hmm… this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make” then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person “started it”.

That really sounds hypocritical given your responses.
