Per the recent Nightshade paper, clown attacks would be a form of semantic poisoning on specific memeplexes, where ‘memeplex’ basically describes the architecture of some neural circuits. Those memeplexes at inference time would produce something designed to propagate themselves (a defence or description of some idea, submeme), and a clown attack would make that propagation less effective at transmitting to eg. specific audiences.
