Yeah, but what is formal isn't objective, so you'd think it would be something that could get carried by the shifting window.
For me, it would have to be the guy in WWII who supposedly saved Hitler's life as a child while at the beach and had his life supposedly spared during the holocaust in return (since the person was Jewish). Like bro, the culprit of a mass genocide isn't going to remember that, somehow stalk his files, pinpoint who he is, single him out, and go the effort to save him. That's sadly not how a genocide works. When you're genocidal, most likely you sadly don't care about those things, especially when soldiers are doing your dirty work. This was always a common story in WWII videos and it's very deceptive when you think about it, especially when you consider Neo-Nazis would share the story specifically to make Hitler sound like he had some kind of honor (spoiler alert, he didn't, he was an extreme form of a genocidal maniac).
Such stories should be filtered by more investigative peoples out of public discourse, they're traps.
He's also the governor, soo...
Well, you have to know these things when you're a king millionaire, you know.
I didn't interpret it that way, but I guess that might be misleading when I think about it.
Not even in the title?
No. I just did the age-old tradition in this community of seeing something, posting it, and accepting if I had to be corrected if something was wrong about it. Was something wrong about it?
But a part of my point is not everyone sets up an instance. I mean the commoners. They have the issues I am describing. That's when it becomes the "crevice" issue I was referring to. And I guess it depends on what you mean by "stalking", but I proved my point about what they were doing on the outset.
What would indirectly entail? I feel like we’re having different conversations here.
Each part of the fediverse, including each URL of "Lemmy", is managed by different admins. It's called the fediverse because it's federated. It's decentralized. You can interact with each part from the one you have an account on, but the admins cannot affect whatever happens in them.
In order for it to be decentralized, each part, called an "instance", needs both software to be able to connect to other instances (think of how you can email people from other email sites) and the capacity to be connected to. This means each instance needs the same code, and once a federated continuum of sites has been made, it's difficult to change the code that is distributed between people who want to make instances to participate in the fediverse as admins, even though the fediverse apparently can also connect you to places on the deep web and even places that are technically not even on the web.
This, in turn, is also why ban evaders often justify (and technically can justify) ban evasion on the fediverse more easily than on sites that are standalone communities.
But even more relevant to what I'm saying, it (and other properties of the fediverse) also makes it so that any cracks or imperfections in the programming are forced to stay that way, as well as why AI comes into play here. The fediverse, by its nature, is so vast and so intricate with the different ways each part connect to one another that an AI is the preferred way for a troll to find said cracks. The caveat, in return, is that you need to be an expert in guiding an AI to comprehend what it's doing (as in, at the time of what I've been saying, you would need to have had an ultra-precise way of explaining to it what you wanted to do), with only a minority of AI even being able to sleuth around whatever links you hand-feed it. It's in part a very famous issue of guardrails that make it this way. People like Sam Altman and Elon Musk have often explained having to increase how elaborate their AI's self-imposed rules are in response to people exploring new elaborate ways to get around them, like a technological game of who can piss higher on the wall.
Enter this very pesky individual in question who has done just that. Through a week of work, they have mapped out every crevice of the fediverse. One of these (and the most alarming of which) is that, while removed content was never fully gone from the fediverse (hence why you can undelete comments), you originally had to stalk the whole fediverse manually to get answers, which might take a month. Now they have acquired the path to simply asking AI to find interactions people regret or want gone.
The archive was from a post of theirs that was in a recent document.
There are certain actions that do need an AI, yes, since AI knows how to permeate the infrastructure in unique ways. That and it makes a whole lot of other ones faster. An admin does not have access to every single instance, which this would indirectly entail.
The scary part is how much of this could be "unlocked" by someone who knows what they're doing.
but in return they won’t be allowed to talk about it
This is a new feature of the justice system I haven't seen before. Wouldn't this amount to CCP-style censorship?
CNN was originally discouraging the view that Platner should be judged simply for things like the tattoo that were being pushed by Fox (with the understanding if you asked CNN that Platner did not know of the tattoo's meaning). Was there a plot twist that was missed, aside from the allegations by one of his partners?
