6 Football (soccer) players share my name and I still am at the top. Type "SEO" and I'll DM you my one little weird trick. /jk
Fun story about my name [0], the bank couldn't mail me my debit card because the mailman kept crossing my address off the envelop.
Yeah, that went about as well as I would have expected.
It dug up a bunch of what can only be my information, then made up a bunch of confidently wrong things to say about me.
I'm a Software Engineer and SaaS guy, known for running the company "[random word from my blog] Software" and his [different word from my blog] Blog. Founder of three separate startups I've never heard of and may not exist, and well known contributor to Open Source (because that's something that software people often do, so it makes for pretty words to put into a paragraph, despite me not contributing to open source).
Overall, it's like watching a really bad sight reader doing his act. It suggests something that's likely true about you given your background, then keeps tweaking those suggestions until you go "yeah, that's it! you nailed me!".
Sadly, this is pretty par for the course watching AI try to do stuff.

Ha ha! Yes I am in the weights apparently. Nearly all the models know what I do.
I suspect being in the Open Source world is a bit of a bubble as far as the weights are concerned.
Anyway it stroked my ego nicely even though it was totally artificial, like Zaphod Beeblebrox surviving the Total Perspective Vortex.

I’m a hallucination. None of these are me.
Perhaps the closest is DeepSeek v4:
> Hyperpape is a user on the LessWrong forum, known for thoughtful comments on rationality and philosophy.
I studied philosophy, so maybe, except I don't post on LessWrong, and I'm not a rationalist.
Interestingly, almost all of them got it right (although one seems to think I was a VP at Datadog, and I've seen that error before in some LLMs). But Haiku just says "no one of that name seems to exist". So Haiku must be pretty pruned down.

I was thinking something like this two weeks ago in another thread[1]
>my Reddit history is part of every training set. It was taken without my consent. So now I'm immortal in a way, and hiding in the weights
Anyway 654 isn't horrible for the history still tied to me. That's in the top 6%[2]. It's interesting that it's non-deterministic, and the more keywords you add about yourself, the higher your score goes.
This is a clever trick to get you to enter your real name. ;-) I entered mine, I was on the page kind of, there was some kind of exaggeration of me as the last one. I was surprised someone else in my family who is a kind of actual famous person was not found. It seems to have a lot of recency bias based on that.

Apparently according to Gemini, I, the only person in the world with my name (unique first name + long complex last name) am a professional soccer player.

2. Alfred E.

A terrorist on the US saction list.. the first female airplane suicide bomber?? I was in the US a year ago and I did not bomb any planes
I think with Arabic names it's highly biased, which is kind of scary, I don't want to be bombed based on an LLM query
