"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have no doubt states like the US are building large database of activists and people critical of the regime. That is why I wont ever step foot in the US again. I'm litteraly considered a terrorist there, because I want equal right for trans people. Dystopic shit. And even if the americans manage to get ride of the pedo-oligarchy, you shouldn't trust any of the following governments, they might not all be pedos, but they're all capitalist bitches.
90% precision is basically meaningless with identifying anything.
eh, the algorithm thinks i'm someone i'm not. i can live with that.
Even more reason to not use LinkedIn. Great.
Fight fire with fire. Ask AI to rephrase everything before you post it online.
Funnily enough one of the first genai-type projects I ever stumbled across, Anonymouth, was intended for exactly this
It will keep track of your collected input.
67! To Linkedin posters? Bro. A LinkedIn poster will tell you about their kink, blood type, and about their odd looking birthmark. Anyone could "unmask" that if they could suffer through the 14 pages of nonsense they post.
this is why I'm a 67 year old retired air force Lt in Alaska.
nobody will ever suspect the old grey bearded guy at the only bar in town.
Eh, we're all royally fucked.
Soooooooo, AI is absolutely worthless at everything it does. Until it comes to tools that fascists would love having.
Really shows you where the funding is.
that is why they are trying so hard to integrate into everything.
Oooooooor, AI isn't actually worthless at everything it does. It's a useful technology as long as the user is aware of its limitations.
I get the whole "fuck ai" thing but the mental gymnastics some people put themselves through is wild. The enemy is both weak and strong!
You're getting downvoted but its the truth. We're constantly exposed to slop or negligent use of AI, none of that means AI isn't scarily good at the things it does. It is.
And just to clarify, fuck AI, but some of y'all do need a reality check about the technology's capabilities.
Fuuuuuck i almost forgot about digital fingerprints. To all of those unacquainted: the way you type, spell, text, etc. The words you use, the phrases, the grammar--everything, ends up as your digital print. Just because your username changes, doesn't mean your typing does. This is how you will be tracked. Clearing cookies, using different names, dusting your tracks, this all helps, but when you type the same, it's still you.
Time to start being extra cute whenever i post something bad. Enough nyaas and ~~~ will confuse anyone, even a bot.
I'm curious if they'd be able to ID me, I haven't posted under my government name in almost 20 years and quit every public social network other than this one almost as long ago.
I'd be impressed if it can match me with my other profiles at all, but mostly because it'd mean that they're feeding a lot of spectacularly old data into their models and/or pulling from private sources they should never have had access to.
I'd be shocked if they weren't feeding in old data. Anything can be training data if you're desperate enough, including early 2000's Myspace pages scraped by the way back machine.
The wayback machine is too lossy and would have missed most of my written corpus, I'm talking about finding me in the full Twitter firehose from prior to 2008 and accounting for the fact that my writing style shifts notably with new slang.
Simple, just have ai write everything for you!
Unironically this is probably the only feasible defense against it. Key points though, it has to be halfway decent and self hosted
What do you propose? Use AI for writing so it always sounds the same, for everyone?
treat your online activity like you would treat every other activity. The way you type and converse on like Lemmy or whatever is like the way you would talk with friends. very casual, shooting the shit, being blunt etc. Now would you talk to your grand mother or the pope or your boss the same way you'd shoot the shit with your buddies? probably not. Would you talk to your mom the same way you talk in an average CoD Lobby? doubtful. LInkedin, Facebook, etc anything that is tied to your actual name is what I call "granny speak" type on there like you're talking to the most innocent pure soul in the world. Lemmy/Reddit/whatever where you utilize a screename that's your gutter talk time.
I mean this is how I've always done it even back in the late 90s where it was constantly drilled into us that NO ONE must know who you are online. This from the days when EVERYONE had a screenname and NO ONE used their actual name online.
Butt butt butt butt butt butt
What if you don't have a linked in proile?
I genuinely don't remember the last time I posted content under my real name. Curious how they would handle me, but also 0 chance I would pay for anything like this, so I'll probably never know!
Any time you text someone, you're posting content under your real name. Your friends have you listed as [first name], someone has you listed as [first name last name], and Facebook has access to all of these people's contacts and messages.
60% of the time it works every time
I keep saying that AI is the death of the Internet as we know it. It’s just no longer the same thing at all.
Completely flipping and question how everything we do on it should probably be the default stance.
lol good thing I only really ever touch my LinkedIn when I’m looking for a new job, and fucking never post there. Honestly, turning it into “facebook but with more corporate circlejerking” was bafflingly idiotic. I genuinely do not understand why so many people ate that shit up.
One is a social media account under your real name and information where you talk about work. The other is a social media account under a fake name where you talk about things related to your field of work. Hardly seems magical to link the two.
Now if you can link my Lemmy account to my Pizza Hut account, I'll be impressed

Fuck!
Hold my beer!
No.
LMMs can't do shit. They only continue from existing and/or create something new based on scraped data. The thing that is created is prediction, a guess, not true.
thus
LMMs can predict what could be behind anonymous internet user's mask blah blah blah.
