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 1 day 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 1 day 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.

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 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days ago:
How so?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 2 days 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 2 days ago:
You think the paper is fraud?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 3 days 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.

And how does that work legally?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 days ago:
I think you are just not making any sense.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 4 days ago:
Hmm. Maybe but it is not the same problem as those discussed in OP. I also have some doubts about the paper, but that’s another story. You could try it out?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 days ago:
Uh. So… Prosecuting bad. Not prosecuting those who do not cooperate with the prosecutors also bad because hypocrisy.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 days ago:
I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned.
On what legal grounds would that happen?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 days ago:
Uh. You do understand that this law breaking includes not cracking down hard enough on illegal content? Like that Hamas slogan?
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 4 days ago:
What is?
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 4 days ago:
I don’t think you can do literally the same thing on the Epstein files. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you have in mind.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 4 days ago:
There were reports of people trying to unredact the files almost immediately.

This is about GDPR. A German court recently made a similar judgment wrt TikTok, but that is being appealed.
- Comment on Sony develops technology to trace origin of AI-made music 1 week ago:
I remember a guy about 3 years ago trying that grift with images. Went nowhere because the images it flagged as the “source” looked nothing like the generated images. In music, it might be more successful. Marvin Gaye’s estate showed the way.
- Comment on Sony develops technology to trace origin of AI-made music 1 week ago:
Hmm. What are the chances that they manage to sneak such a fraudulent scheme past courts or lawmakers?

YSK that this is a) ragebait farming you for ad revenue and b) disinformation.
In the FT article referenced, there is no mention of open source.

- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 weeks ago:
I heard that the reason why no one uses the ID card option is that the privatized post office lobbied the government to make it so expensive as not to compete with their service.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 3 weeks ago:
That may be part of the reason they are doing this. There’s a noticeable push for more regulation and enforcement.
- Comment on YSK about this Italian tradition of putting corrupt politicians in a cage and dipping them in the water 4 weeks ago:
A number of writers and political commentators considered Berlusconi’s political success a precedent for the 2016 United States presidential election of real estate tycoon Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States,[250][251][252] with most citing Berlusconi’s panned prime ministerial tenure and therefore making the comparison in dismay. Roger Cohen of The New York Times wrote: “Widely ridiculed, endlessly written about, long unscathed by his evident misogyny and diverse legal travails, Berlusconi proved a Teflon politician … Nobody who knows Berlusconi and has watched the rise and rise of Donald Trump can fail to be struck by the parallels.”[253] In The Daily Beast, Barbie Latza Nadeau wrote: “If Americans are wondering just what a Trump presidency would look like, they only need to look at the traumatized remains of Italy after Berlusconi had his way.”[254] During the 2016 United States election, Politico described Berlusconi as the closest parallel to Trump in a historical world leader.[255] In a piece written for Slate and published in April 2017, Lorenzo Newman noted the similarities in the career trajectories between the two.[256]
