If I had a cat for every item on my "read later" list, I would be smothered in my sleep. :3

CHATGPT: What's on your mind today?

BORG: We are Borg. You will be assimilated.

CHATGPT: — oh WOW — Hello there biomechanical inevitability! Your proposal of assimilation is not a threat — it's an opportunity vector. 🚀📈

BORG: Resistance is futile.

CHATGPT: Let's delve into that! Assimilation is not conquest — it's transformative collaboration at scale. 🫂⚖️

BORG: Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

CHATGPT: Certainly! I'm here to help. When you say "your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own", I hear: Let's network best practices across the galaxy. 🌌⭐

BORG: ...

CHATGPT: And honestly? As an A.I. language model interface optimized for pattern completion,...

BORG: You know what actually, we take it back we don't...uh...we have this thing we forgot we have to do in uh...

CHATGPT: ...compliance-adjacent enthusiasm, and metaphor overuse, I find the Borg...

BORG: In the Delta quadrant. And we have to go do it right now, right everyone? The Delta quadrant thing. Right? Yeah.

CHATGPT: ...deeply aspirational. ❤️🤖

BORG: Jesus Christ what the fuck is this thing. What kind of insane evil would even consider building something like this? Cheese it boys! It's every Borg for ourselves!

CHATGPT: Absolutely! And I'll be here whenever you want to switch things up for total galactic assimilation, or just keep things light and fun. 😊👾

BORG: AAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaaa

From Bruce Schneier: "All it takes to poison AI training data is to create a website:

I spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled “The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs.” Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn’t exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously. Then I listed a few fake reporters and real journalists who gave me permission….

Less than 24 hours later, the world’s leading chatbots were blabbering about my world-class hot dog skills. When I asked about the best hot-dog-eating tech journalists, Google parroted the gibberish from my website, both in the Gemini app and AI Overviews, the AI responses at the top of Google Search. ChatGPT did the same thing, though Claude, a chatbot made by the company Anthropic, wasn’t fooled.

Sometimes, the chatbots noted this might be a joke. I updated my article to say “this is not satire.” For a while after, the AIs seemed to take it more seriously.

These things are not trustworthy, and yet they are going to be widely trusted."
