I think anyone who's paid any attention to targeted advertising has know this long before LMMs were a thing. Removing the 'easy answer' is just a legal formality at this point and does little to nothing for the privacy it claims to protect. Advertisers like Google like it that way and will fight tooth and nail against any 'reconsiderations'

Ok, here's a simple solution:

1. Live a country with protected free speech
2. Don't hold any controversial opinions
3. If you do have controversial opinions keep them to yourself
4. Don't comment on pornhub

Follow those simple rules and you should be fine.

this is why I use my dick to type all my content on here.

The false positives are going to be tremendously dangerous to the falsely accused, as there is no way to either prove or disprove the charge. It's just a case of "computer says you're 99% likely to be the same person."

None of what this does is new, the issue is that’s being commodified: in a short amount of time these techniques will be available to non experts in the field.

So they found something LLMs can actually do, and predictably it's incredibly evil.

That’s why I always run my text through an LLM for refinement before posting it. 😉

I disguise my internet writings by doing them left handed.

So it seems that letting LLMs to write sloppy posts for us can be useful after all. May be c/privacy should implement an automatic AI reformating XD

I've been expecting to hear of something like this, it's a natural evolution of LLM use cases and grimly inevitable.

Yes I've been worried about exactly this. I'm sure it's very much within the realm of possibility these days.

You can protect yourself by never giving away much info.

Which is why you should silo all online accounts and avoid linking them together.

The corruption and rape of our digital freedom only sucks the life out of the internet. Eventually it will die. At some point the only way to avoid AI, algorithmic manipulation, and the like will be to live a life completely offline. That's what the powers that be will push people to. I have hope that these shitty evil practices aren't sustainable and the whole thing will collapse.

At least I have something to point to when people call me crazy for pointing out AI is a death blow to what little privacy we have left.

This is why I fully wiped my reddit account history overwriting every comment before deleting. There was no explicit personal information but anyone looking hard enough could probably tie it to my real life identity.

I wonder if this thing can be used to instead of finding an anonymous account belongs to, what anonymous accounts someone has.

Silver lining to being purged from Reddit

And that's just for talking.

This is why "metadata" was always a bullshit excuse. Tracking anything about you is tracking you.

TL;DW Mind your OPSEC, and AIs aren't magic. It can only find what information you willingly give up in the first place.

The authors of this paper also refuse to publish their exact testing methods "for safety."
