It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

i mean the provenance is unimpeachable! there can be no reasonable question as to its authenticity. remarkable stuff!

I always wonder - usually in vain - just how big auction houses determine provenance information. Thanks to the Epstein Files, we can see exactly how a seemingly rock-solid provenance was built on shifting sands for this Hercules. 🧵

in light of the current supply chain attacks, I've just published a @github.com action to detect packages that _lose_ their provenance.

📦 supports pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock (v1)
🎨 inline GitHub annotations
✅ JSON output + configurable
💪 published in TS with zero deps

It takes a village to stone a man to death based on a lottery of mysterious provenance.

in retrospect shoulda gone with "lest anyone doubt its provenance"

That Iranian propaganda video also had some pretty specific stuff in it. Nobody knows the true provenance of those, though.

A l’épicerie comme partout dans les commerces, je vérifie sérieusement la provenance des articles..🇺🇸🚫

Image screening is going to fail. We need audit trails for data provenance.
I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

Lying is so awesome. Crafting reality is usually the provenance of gods and kings, but with one word, I can be the most interesting person at a party, the highest ranking person at a meeting or the least qualified person currently operating heavy machinery.

Les importations de gaz naturel liquéfié en provenance de Russie ont augmenté de 81 % en France en 2024.

C'est 2,68 milliards directement dans les poches du régime de Poutine.

Given institutional incentives and pressure to hold back on it, I presume the provenance of the thing is rock fucking solid.
