Threats by #AI:
“We show that large language models can be used to perform
at-scale #deanonymization. With full Internet access, our agent
can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer
participants at high precision, given #pseudonymous online
profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take
hours for a dedicated human investigator.”

“Deanonymization is a two-step process at heart, involving
profiling an anonymous person from their posts, and then
matching them to a known identity. It’s well-known that large
language models can infer personal attributes from
text on online forums. Given this, it makes sense to
ask: how good are LLMs at full end-to-end deanonymization,
and is this a practical threat to pseudonymous accounts?”

[en] Paper: LLMs can be used to perform at-scale #deanonymization

"With full Internet access, our #agent can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer participants at high precision, given #pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator."

"Our results show that the practical #obscurity protecting pseudonymous users online no longer holds and that #threat models for online #privacy need to be reconsidered."

"We demonstrate that LLMs fundamentally change the picture, enabling fully automated deanonymization attacks that operate on #unstructured text at scale."

Note: also check paragraphs "Potential harms" and "Potential benefits".

"Bitcoin is #HARAM." - #UmarVadillo
He questioned the need for #crypto if #dinar & #dirham/ #gold & #silver #coins, deposited somewhere, can be exchanged in a #blockchain, with the crypto only representing the #physical #assets. The problem with that that #Bitcoin tries to solve is that physical assets can be legally #confiscated & the physical transfer can be halted. Bitcoin avoids that by being purely #digital, #decentralized, #pseudonymous and #permissionless.

Untangle my computer use from any commercial/capitalist presets...

For 2023 a #LibreComputer AML-S905X-CC (#LePotato) (2GB) is my personal base level hardware platform

Anything I develop/make has to be usable on the current base level hardware platform

"A useful frame of mind is thinking about your computer as offline first. You work with your computer and occasionally have network access. This usually means having data locally and occasionally synchronizing it with others."

#LocalFirst #OfflineFirst
#FrugalComputing #SustanableComputing #NetZeroComputing

Expect to run zsh, X11, openbox(?), Emacs, terminal, neomutt, newsboat, mastodon?, tor, i2p?

Test if Gnome is usable... ? xfce? CDE? is GnuStep still active? no desktop?

Get used to do #Email, #UseNet, #Gopher, #IRC, #RSS in #terminal or #Emacs

Use #Emacs and #TeΧ to write (dead tree) letters and missives (PDF?)

Maybe do more in #RawText?

Do callender things again on paper/pencil, #43folders, Whiteboard, etc.. physical things

Expand use of Gopher, Gemini, IndieWeb?

IM.. #XMPP via Dino? +OMEMO

Find a sustainable open source alternative for keybase? Or develop a distributed alternative using tor or i2p? Trust via FOAF?

Develop in #Pascal, #Lisp, #Ruby, #Haskell, #Scheme, #Forth :D

#DigitalBarn
#DigitalShed?

Keep repositories in #mercurial,
maybe source hut?

#DigitalDorm?

Find an #anonymous #pseudonymous hosting solution... shell account?... like rawtext.club, tildeverse.org, sdf.org .. ...my own?

Get a low power #amd64 box? bc too many FOSS projects are still not platform independent & x86 only v.v

Optimize to run many VMs?

Maybe can run #android in VM and run banking, insurance, and other apps there? Otherwise maybe get an used M1 mac and run the #iOS apps? perhaps some <100 euro android phones will do as well? otherwise get an iPad mini and use that for the next 5-6 yrs

Maybe set up a #FileServer (#NAS?) maybe even network boot? and perhaps even a #Postgresql database? Is having SQL DB available on the local network going to be useful? What about other databases?

#DigitalStreams (#FediVerse?)

#DigitalCampfires (#Tumblr? Blogs?)

#DigitalGardens
(#Wiki?)

https://joelhooks.com/digital-garden

Bring #DigitalGardens to the "#TheDarkNet" and set up basecamp there, #tor onion services, a p2p chat/IM app, etc.. also explore #i2p and see how to simplify using it.

#DigitalHome?
(Tilde?)

Get back into #AI (but forget Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Innocence?) I want Augmented Intelligencekm

Explore as many other fun projects as well ... Who knows, I might like them and use them more often...
eg: #Guix #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Minix #RiscV #Plan9 (#9Front) #RedoxOS #SmallTalk (#Pharo) #GoLang #RetroComputing #System7 #RiscOS #HaikuOS #Forth #Microcontrollers #68K #MIPS #PowerPC #HomeBrewComputer
