I hypothesize that there’s been a change in this direction, and that inoculating against big grand, conspiracy theories is harder to achieve because world views are crafted over time.
Any research around this idea or similar ideas? I’d love to read more!
And so one and so forth. So you create a long standing environment where you could believe the more extreme claim that vaccines cause autism.
For example, what if over 10 years we feed the ideas that vaccines cause autism, with smaller ideas:
1) the pharmaceutical companies behind the vaccines have nefarious intents (all with micro stories and examples)
2) that other medications in select cases have causes negative effects in pops
@profsanderlinden.bsky.social Hi professor. I just finished your book Foolproof, and immediately became interested in the idea of micro long-term, sustained false narratives to support a larger piece of fake news.
Despite its growth-including on the social media platforms X (Twitter), Telegram, the Russian-based VK, and Bluesky-the network remains user-unfriendly across all domains and subdomains. For example, it has no search function, a generic navigation menu, and dysfunctional scrolling on many sites and pages. Webpage layout issues and obvious mistranslations persist on the network's sites as well, contributing to appearances that the network is not primarily intended for human consumption. Given what appears to be its small human audience and the massive footprint of the network, we believe the network isn't targeting humans, but an automated audience: web crawlers involved with search engine optimization and scraping algorithms that collect data for training datasets such as those used for large language models. This targeting strategy is a stark departure from other pro-Russia information operations, and one with serious social, political, and technological consequences for the world.
Tricking AI chatbots by lying about hot dogs sounds fun! Now read about a Russian operation with an annual publishing rate of at least 3.6 million pro-Russia articles. It is not designed for access by human eyes which implies it is there to influence AI chatbots

ChatGPT autosuggest results are very different with Search enabled than with it disabled.
The former is much more long tail for some reason.

Are you sure that’s paint? I’m a little concerned it may not be.
Well it’s certainly important that it’s accurate, but I’m very shocked they are finding this many errors in search backed LLMs.
It’s a worthwhile binge
Honestly, I’m a little skeptical about how low these numbers are…
AI search engines are wrong over 60% of the time

That’s helpful too actually. My team at Uber built an internal tool and the SEM team are my other users.
It’s helpful that you specified editorial
