    Great, we’re at a point where “researchers” are helping tech bros hurt the public interest. Could they just NOT publish this shit? Stop giving helpful tips to tyrannical oligarchs!

    Academics can be stupid idiots sometimes.

      Tbh I read the research article and it’s not rocket science that they were doing. Any 2nd rate FBI analyst would have come up with these ideas sooner or later to try and match anonymous profiles with veryfied ones using LLMs.

      Researchers’ work has always been abused by others. The advancement and free distribution of knowledge should not be curtailed for fear of malicious parties.
