Burner accounts on social media sites can increasingly be analyzed to identify the pseudonymous users who post to them using AI in research that has far-reaching consequences for privacy on the Internet, researchers said.
Back to lurking you say? Ugh I guess… But realistically, this account is tied to my Reddit account. If I’m gonna do weird stuff, it’s not gonna be here.
Only if your OPSEC was already bad… LLMs aren’t magical, they’re just piecing together information you already gave away freely.
Also the authors of this paper refuse to show their work “for safety.”
I’ve actually considered using a local AI to rewrite my comments for me to defend against this.
Same. I think it’s ghastly that an internet where individuals are behaving safely is an internet where every single comment is the same sterile clank.
Create an account every week. If the place doesn’t allow that then it’s clearly time to move on. I’m finding it less rewarding to continue a single account than to start new ones. Its fun. Plus whoever is left will not need AI to be identified easily.
