Not just tech bros. The execs at the company I work for were talking as early as 2025 about trying to get "LLM-optimized" search results, meaning we need to be in the training data and be at the top of the AI overview. It's just SEO bullshit all over again. You don't need big scary Russia to poison AI, our capitalist class will do it eagerly.
