I'm not 100% against AI, but I do cheer loudly when I see things like this!

I'm also left wondering about what other things you could do? For example - I have several friends that built their own programming languages, I wonder what the impact would be if you translate lots of repositories to your own language and host it for bots to scrape? Could you introduce sufficient bias in a LLM to make an esoteric programming language popular?

Russia already does that - poisons the net for future LLM pretraining data.

it's called "LLM grooming"

Wasn't there a study a while back showing that a small sample of data is good enough to poison an LLM? So I'd say it for sure is possible.
