I’m thinking of all the posts that start with “As a black/female/teen/minority…” Would be interesting to see how many of those tie back to just being another old ass white dude posting under his alt account.
How? There’s barely anything I’ve written on my own name that an AI would have access to and I change details constantly in my anonymous posts.
I’m safe because in my 95+ years on the internet, I’ve mostly typed lies that I made up on the spot
Same here. I’m just you under another user name.
I’m fucked, Ebola Pie is my given name and I have never lied on the Internet. Luckily my email is safe, though. All of those are securely encrypted with a decoder ring I got out of a cereal box when I was 9.
Me too. But Phutaroris isn’t exactly a common name, they can just look me up in the phone book, if one still exists. Don’t need no AI for that.
I’d be curious to test its capabilities. However ChatGPT utterly refuses such a request. Maybe I could fuck around with context poisoning and prompt engineering to get there, but that sounds like a lot of work just to prove this is as fallible as everything else AI does. I’d bet it equates to a lie detector — probably better odds of being correct than a coin flip, but not deterministic enough for a court of law (or for folks to go off on half-cocked).
but not deterministic enough for a court of law (or for folks to go off on half-cocked).
What do you mean? Humans love going off half-cooked. We’ve been shaming vigilate and mob justice BECAUSE humans love to get half the information and start killing people under fake pretences.
Right. I mean I guess it would be better to say, not enough for folks to go off… fully-cocked? I think the metaphor breaks.
Point being someone is going to go pedo hunting or something, get the wrong person, and ruin their life (or worse).
So what’s the way around that? More burner accounts seems to be about it, which means less camaraderie. I hate we lose what makes us better, in order to better survive the fascists.
The way around it is to not have a public online life.
If it’s too late for that, find someone else with a similar name to you, and use AI to start posting in their writing style.
