  The grim reaper, I assume.

  Yeah, but this is just the beginning. Identifying subtle typing patterns will be much more effective at getting your location. At this point, one of the only ways to fight back against that is to: 1: Write what you want to 2: Feed that into a local LLM, and tell it to use a ChatGPT-like writing style 3: Copy that text, and post it

  Yeah… I have tried LLMs, and they have horrible hallucinations. For instance, when I tried to “teach” one about Hit Selecting in Minecraft, I used an example of a player that uses it (EREEN), it kept corrupting it to EREEEN. Even when I clarified, it kept doing it, forever.

  I partially agree, but that argument about socializing might be flawed. At least in my experience, such socializing did not happen in schools, but instead in coffee shops (again, my experience may be different from everyone else’s), where I had meaningful debates with adults. Instead, I actively avoided conversations with my peers, particularly because I had nothing in common with them.

  Even it they (WhatsApp) still provide reliable E2EE, they have lots of metadata that is not encrypted, and that they actively share with their “advertising partners”.
