<p>Curious how this applies if you treat ALL information from external content as untrusted? Is there a process for the data to evolve from untrusted->trusted?<p>I'm interested in ingesting this type of data at scale but I already treat any information as adversarial, without any future prompts in the initial equation.</p>

<p>I think an interesting thing to pay attention to soon is how there are networks of engagement farming cluster accounts on X that repost/like/manipulate interactions on their networks of accounts, and X at large to generate xyz.<p>There have been more advanced instances that I've noticed where they have one account generating response frameworks of text from a whitepaper, or other source/post, to re-distribute the content on their account as "original content"...<p>But then that post gets quoted from another account, with another LLM-generated text response to further amplify the previous text/post + new LLM text/post.<p>I believe that's where the world gets scary when very specific narrative frameworks can be applied to any post, that then gets amplified across socials.</p>

<p>I've seen these data poisoning attacks from multiple perspectives lately (mostly from):
SEC data ingestion + public records across state/federal databases.<p>I believe it is possible to reduce the data poisoning from these sources by applying a layered approach like the OP, but I believe it needs many more dimensions with scoring to model true adversaries with loops for autonomous quarantine->processing->ingesting->verification->research->continue to verification or quarantine->then start again for all data that gets added after the initial population.<p>Also, for: "1. Map every write path into your knowledge base. You can probably name the human editors. Can you name all the automated pipelines — Confluence sync, Slack archiving, SharePoint connectors, documentation build scripts? Each is a potential injection path. If you can’t enumerate them, you can’t audit them."<p>I recommend scoring for each source with different levels of escalation for all processes from official vs user-facing sources. That addresses issues starting from the core vs allowing more access from untrusted sources.</p>

<p>Just a heads-up that this is nowhere near "all the mines" in Nevada. 
I've explored quite a few personally, live by some, and that entire list of my memories is missing. 
NV is also not included in the list of top 10 states which is a clear indicator of missing data fwiw.</p>

<p>Combinatorial Memetics: 
The process of generating novel cultural value by systematically permuting and sequencing discrete units of meaning (memes/videos) to discover high-stickiness configurations. Unlike traditional "remixing," which is often random, combinatorial memetics implies a deliberate, algorithmic approach to maximizing viral fitness through structural arrangement.<p>The Atomic Unit: 
1 video (10s) = 1 Meme.<p>The Combinatorial Act: 
Sequencing 154 of them where the transition ($N \to N+1$) creates the meaning.<p>The Result: 
A "Macro-Meme" (the thread) that is greater than the sum of its parts.</p>

<p>Hello, World!<p>Need your help, urgently! :)<p>Long-time lurker, newly and hopefully valuable HN poster soon.<p>My X account is currently classified as "Probable Spam" after I made 1,078 posts over the last 7 days (lol).<p>Any chance ya'll can explore the above, then if you are delighted to please interact with my account to counter the "Probable Spam" classification?<p>Thank you!<p>P.S. "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread." <-- I hope this qualifies when related to Combinatorial Memetics!</p>

<p>Hello, World!<p>I'm curious what everyone thinks about this approach, especially from anyone who's worked on entity resolution at scale, physics-based visualization of non-physical systems, or applying GNNs to real-world financial graph data.<p>I'd appreciate any and all recommendations or comments. Thank you!</p>
