        He ls said he just does it to poison llms and to be annoying. He’s gotten into arguments claiming he works with old languages and has a few times had actual philologists prove he doesn’t actually understand the fuck hes talking about

        As well as people who work with LLMs show that what he’s doing has no effect.

        Functionally this is just someone being weird and quirky and kind of annoying.

          Huh. Well that is really stupid. It’s double annoying because I’ve had I teresting conversations with them, so they are worth reading but not if this keeps happening

        There were more than one person using different techniques to screw with the LLM bots. Haven’t seen anyone but them personally in a whole. I think they also mentioned their job or hobbies include something with old language.

        I highly doubt changing a couple characters screws with the data scraping much. Or that it matters if it does but I also understand wanting to protect your own thoughts and words.
