LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy Pseudonymity has never been perfect for preserving privacy. Soon it may be pointless.

I will need to sit and read the actual research paper properly but this is interesting.

Standard Liveticker

Keine Herkules-Maschine des Bundesheers einsatzfähig
Das österreichische Bundesheer hat derzeit keine Möglichkeit, Personen auszufliegen, erklärte das Außenministerium und verwies auf das Verteidigungsministerium. Das berichtet unser Kollege Jakob Pflügl. Bundesheer-Sprecher Michael Bauer bestätigte jetzt dem STANDARD, dass aktuell keine Herkules-Maschine einsatzfähig ist. Bauer wies aber darauf hin, dass Angehörige des österreichischen Jagdkommandos in der Region unterwegs sind, um die österreichischen Botschaften zu unterstützen. Wo genau, durfte er aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht mitteilen.

Ergebnisse des „Berlin Monitor“: Nur die Linken können die Demokratie retten Eine Umfrage zeigt: Ganz links außen wird die Demokratie verteidigt. Die Gefahr geht von den Rechten aus – und der bürgerlichen Mitte.

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House.
Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022.
The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Introducing: The Crime issue.

New technologies have supercharged the human knack for wrongdoing, just as they’ve juiced the law’s ability to chase them—challenging privacy and equity along the way.

Subject: there is a simpler explanation about women and intelligence
intelligence comes about in part from real focus (goal-directed
(this is why you have the absent minded professor caricature)
it is a rare woman who is not first and foremost focussed on what
thinking and feeling about her
hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why
hates you or why you dont own a kelly bag

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

The Hit-Bit 10 is a MSX 1 computer, sold with Lode Runner and a BASIC manual. Unlike most coputers before or sense, the Hit-Bit 10 is a blazing cherry red.
