Looks like the LLM can be used to cross reference data from your pseudo private account to your public account. What a surprise

It's a good thing that I work for Dick's Fish & Chips located on the main street of a bustling city in Antarctica. I wouldn't want the LLM to get it wrong.

The same Dick's Fish & Chips where in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table?

That Dick's Fish & Chips?

Yup. The only difference between this and what any individual could already do is just time and scale.

Data brokers and government surveillance organizations have already had specialized tools to do this sort of thing for a while now, it's just that LLMs reduce the complexity and specialization needed to actually make an implementation that works well as an individual person.
