you are the product

Here’s a nauseating little tool that generates a report on how conscious LLMs are of your existence.

The poster ( https://telescoper.blog/2026... ) reports:

“Yesterday I found out about a site called intheweights.com , which reveals which people are “stored” in the weights of large language models. Those “weights” are billions of numerical values by which these AI models encode their knowledge. If you show up in them, the model considered you relevant enough during training to recall without tools such as web search.

The site queries several models to figure out who a specific person is, combines the results, and assigns a strength score.  According to the leaderboard, the current maximum strength score is 998, awarded too a person called Charlize Theron (of whom I have never heard); number Two is Rudyard Kipling, apparently. I’m surprised the top isn’t Taylor Swift. I guess these weights change with time too.”

nb, using it seems to burn tokens and, thus, trees. I shared this as a public service - don’t feel compelled to follow my lead.

Also, I have never been much of an “editor,” and the summation misses a good 60% of the rest of my checkered career, not to mention my fully online, nonprofessional life.
