Just like the tools that the CIA or FBI have. But anybody could use it. It will know your address and even go as far as your social security number. Delete all your social media that has your personal photos on them, it will be used against you. By ai itself or the bad actors that use it. It is best to try to stay completely, anonymous.
Deleting photos on SM / the open internet is one thing — what I worry about are all the photos in seemingly private (big tech) cloud storage. Pretty sure Google has quite a few pictures of me, although I personally never uploaded them. I know, that Microsoft got mine, as for a good part of my life I chose OneDrive as a cheap and seemingly secure solution.
Good luck getting your friends and family to explicitly not backup photos you yourself are in.
Shit‘s mad.
Pretty sure Google has quite a few pictures of me, although I personally never uploaded them.
Same. I didn’t u/l a single one. It’s all friends, co-workers, family. Neighbors who feel like they should u/l pics of our local neighborhood party to fucking big social media co’s.
Our over-sharing culture is gd insane. I get wanting to share fun things we do in our lives with friends and family. I do NOT get wanting to share with the entire planet and Mark Zuckerberg. Just… why???
And of course there’s the metasnitches wandering about in raybans. Arseholes destroy even being outside with privacy.
What is very enraging, if you have kids and then family tries to add them on social media.
Schools are another one. I don’t have kids, but I’ve heard how hard to impossible it is to avoid big tech surveilence for school kids. Not to mention the school u/l’ing student photos.
Ed-tech surveilence is out of hand.
Duh
You are describing a normal Capitalist society… Anything will be used against you in a fight-for-your-life society ! Remove that psychopath-worshiping fascist sponsored cult, and all AI related ‘problems’ magically disappears…
Creating random pictures or videos with ai for some giggles is fun. But when ai starts looking shit up on its own, that is scary.
I always say the older the data is the less useful it is. Photos will still be good for a long time, even when your looks change. We really need to figure out a way to poison this data.
We could just all get really fat and ugly, so that the photos aren’t representative anymore.
Alternatively, juggalo makeup:

While that might help at first, it cannot bring victory on it’s own, the tech will keep getting better, and even poisoning it provides training data that can be used to make it more resistant to poisoning in the future, for victory you must organize (such as with the PSL) learn theory that explains the nature of Capitalism such that how to defeat it can be understood (such as Marxism Leninism, which is how the People’s Republic of China manages to achieve so much against all odds) and prepare for a needed revolution (as the system was designed to keep Capitalists in power, making Reformist paths a useless sand trap AKA “if voting worked it’d be illegal”)
Probably a bit too far

PS: I used the invidious link only semi ironically.
PPS: Lemmy is social media…and it gets crawled, so…
PPPS: Back in ye olden times we used to have a rule that was “don’t reveal anything online that you wouldn’t want to appear in a court of law”. Maybe it’s time to bring that defensive online culture back.
I’ll edit. I should have specified, delete your social media with photos and personal stuff.
Someday, the only answer will be to run everything you write online through an LLM to disguise your stylometric fingerprint.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.23079
Recent advances have shown that LLMs can implicitly encode authorial style, enabling zero-shot or few-shot authorship identification without explicit training. Now with tool-augmented LLM agents, these capabilities can even be further amplified.
That would depressing… Also, a model was already banned. Have you seen that?
guaranteed, they banned it as a marketing stunt.
I hate to break this news but: It’s pretty much already the reality if you’re a whistleblower or an enemy of a state.
I am talking about an everyday person can do it. Also, a must watch movie! Enemy Of The State.
AI agents can already search all about me.
They only find what I’ve made available for them to find.
Eventually they might be able to link all my personas to physical me, but by then I’ll likely be dead.
Helps that I don’t have a SSN and that credit companies don’t have my correct address.
Also helps that I don’t share photos on social media.
No, thanks.
Saying no to a great movie recommendation, now that’s nuts.
