But the parents are doing it wrong! Most don’t even disown their kids when they come out as gay or trans; which is the fault of social media anyway.

What happened to ARC-AGI-1 and -2?
- Comment on Everyone Cheering The Social Media Addiction Verdicts Against Meta Should Understand What They’re Actually Cheering For 4 days ago:
Yes, of course. Bluesky is also social media and so the precedent set by these cases will apply to it. Besides, knowledge of a subject does tend to affect your judgment.

- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 5 days ago:
The New Mexico court heard how Meta’s 2023 decision to encrypt Facebook Messenger – its direct messaging platform, which predators have used as a tool to groom minors and exchange child abuse imagery – blocked access to crucial evidence of these crimes.
Encryption! These monsters!
In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.
The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.
And when that happens, the headline lemmings here will call it enshittification and call for even harsher rules.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 5 days ago:
Yeah, so I’m holding off celebrating this “historic win” for protecting the children.

At this point, I’d be surprised if clairvoyance wasn’t a taken as a serious explanation/defense in some quarters.

Best guess about the downvotes: UK lawmakers have already discussed VPN crackdowns. Not sure at what stage the proposals are. So it’s not a slippery slope argument. Such laws are part of what builds a Great Firewall.

Why the downvotes?

Even if you only get your news from here, you can’t possibly have missed that AI companies are getting sued…

What is it about AI that these daylight robberies are celebrated when that’s involved? Maybe it’s just that a bigger cash grab can pay for more bots?

That pitch is not gonna work here. The local hive mind already believes that knowledge is a proprietary asset.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
Probably not.
I don’t know what AI companies you mean here. From context, I’m guessing that you don’t mean the likes of Anthropic, but rather companies that do sleuthing on the net, like those firms that look for copyright or trademark violations. I’m not familiar with that industry and don’t know their marketing material. Maybe that’s the problem.
I don’t know what claims they make, or how it relates to the Epstein files, or OP.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
I doubt a reputable company would do that, except in cooperation with the authorities. Some people have used AI in an attempt to do that, but I’m not familiar with the details.
I don’t really understand what you expect from who and why.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
But as it stands right now we just know that it’s not being used to do what they claim.
Wait. How do we know this? Besides, these researchers show that it is possible, not that it is established practice.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 3 weeks ago:
What I’m getting at is that these laws demand that companies should do the spying. Surveillance is expensive, so foisting on these foreign companies is politically the easiest solution.

I still can’t make sense of what you are trying to say.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
You said: I’m suggesting that AI can’t do what is claimed or that people with something to prove are not interested in proving something.
You’re also saying: My statement was that AI can be used unmask the individuals that have been redacted. AKA they are anonymized. This paper is all about de-anonomyzing.
I can’t make sense of what you are trying to say.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 3 weeks ago:
I can tell, you don’t understand what’s going on and that’s scary. Unfortunately, it would still be scary if you did. But at least you would be able to have a positive effect on the world for the better.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
How so?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 3 weeks ago:
I see. I have some doubts about the motivation of these people, too. But regulators are going after X.
Consider that the chatcontrol equivalent would be going after services that don’t spy enough on their users.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 3 weeks ago:
You think the paper is fraud?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I understand what you mean. That is simply not true. Ok, teachable moment.
In Germany, that slogan is considered a Hamas slogan. Hamas has been classified as an extremist organization. That means that using its slogans and symbols is illegal under the same laws that make Nazi slogans and symbols illegal. That’s the hate speech and illegal content that online platforms are supposed to remove.
Failing to crack down on hate speech is one of the biggest complaints against X. If you demand that authorities to enforce EU platform laws harder, then what happens is that this slogan is suppressed harder. You understand?

Prompts are in the appendix: arxiv.org/abs/2602.16800
I don’t know how far you get on the free tier but it should be at least enough for a proof of principle; to get other people to chip in. You didn’t have qualms demanding other people should do this for free.
Mind that this is a serious GDPR violation in Europe. So there will be serious pressure on AI companies to prevent this kind of use.
