I haven’t finished watching it, but it has some very interesting data points on privacy and how your privacy is being exposed even when you think it isn’t.

    I as often as possible use incorrect data. I always get directions from places close to where I want to go but not the actual places. never use my actual info unless absolutely necessary. I learned it from the blues brothers.

    Worthwhile yet tricky. Companies like OpenAI, Google, Meta, etc are full of experts in statistics and they have access to a lot of storage space. If use a service from those companies, say 4hrs per day between 7am and 9pm, at a certain frequency, e.g. 10 requests / hour, then suddenly, when you realize you actually do not trust them with your data, you do 10000 req/hr for 1hr then that’s a suspect pattern. Then might be able to rollback until before that “freak” event automatically. They might still present you as a user your data with the changes but not in their internal databases.

    So… I’m not saying it’s not a good idea, nor useful, but I bet doing it properly is hard. It’s probably MUCH harder than do a GDPR (or equivalent) take out request then deletion request AND avoiding all services that might leverage your data from these providers.

    Poisoned data is extremely easy to filter and will only get easier as AI improves. Stop making these posts this is basically FUD. It is much better to get rid of the data you can and form proper data hygiene practices.

    I think he could have gotten to the point quicker TBH. The videos was a bit tedious to watch not because of the fact but it was waffle waffle on what is obvious then a one min suggestion of how to poison it which does not really seem convenient way to do it TBH

    I have been poisoning all data I generate for decades since I was a kid. I knew even back in like 2000 that the government is probably spying on people and that they would one day use AI or bots to try to influence people or read their minds. I always use different info on every site. It’s not just surveillance by the pedo state but also protecting your identity and stuff.

      This performs worse in literally every category when compared to ubo. You can check their own white paper if you don’t believe me.

        What paper specifically are you referring to? I couldnt get the paper from the url that was provided, but I am reading the paper from 2017 linked on their github and this project forked ublock, adding additional features, which is pretty interesting actually. Such as detection of visual ads out of the blocked objects, with a series of checks to see if they are “legitimate ads”, then simulated clicks through ajax, with blocks on all response content, preserving security from any malware that may have been masquerading as a legit ad.

        Granted this is from 2017, but its a pretty interesting idea. https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Published-Papers

        The code itself was updated three weeks ago, so its clearly still being maintained at some level.

        Combine this with containerized user accounts, and seems like a pretty good idea to me.

    If this is like the shit where you overwrite your comment on a post with bullshit, all you are doing is hurting legitimate users who will search for answers on these sites and end up either receiving at best a joke, and at worst, something believable that ends up killing them.

    Why don’t you guys just admit you need to move to a country that won’t put you in a supermax molestation cube for considering brown people to be your brothers
