So she has one comment on the internet admitting she cheated on her taxes, another copping to an axe murder, another revealing she's the one and only D B Cooper.
See the classic Gwern post: https://gwern.net/death-note-anonymity Which quotes Tao on using deliberate disinformation to preserve anonymity. > …one additional way to gain more anonymity is through deliberate disinformation. For instance, suppose that one reveals 100 independent bits of information about oneself. Ordinarily, this would cost 100 bits of anonymity (assuming that each bit was a priori equally likely to…
I know I'm a weirdo, but I've been posting under my own name since the 90s. I guess I always figured that nobody gives a shit who I am.
"Pseudpocalypse"... why not "pseudocalypse" or "pseudoapocalypse"? As an aside, it's always surprising to see how English speakers split Greek words like "Apocalypse". That is to say, they always split them in the middle of Greek syllables, or just drop letters like "pseud[o][a]pocalypse" and often in a way that ends up sounding clunky and weird even in English.

I was thinking this. Why not just lie? Come up with personas, stack them on other personas, and eventually you're pretending to be a 23 year old Asian man from California who is pretending to be a 50 year old New Zealand carpenter and half the bits are muddled.
folks should also look at burrows delta - i forgot which books but some folks were able to identify a ghost writer by stylometry alone.
ive said this on many threads, you cant just have text output from an llm (regardless of style / "pseudonym") and have it be "unique" because the nature of the transformer model itself is literally present in the output words. it will be detected as llm output every time. it has to be!
for pure anonymity, i suppose then it is an answer... for the actual craft and art style of writing it is not
To achieve this level of total surveillance it would trillions and trillions of dollars to be invested in a massive roll out of data centers. I just dont see it happening.
Right now… it would have been science fiction 10 years ago and not a trillion dollar problem.
Basically, putting a pebble in one's shoe to fool gait recognition, what's the equivalent thing for defeating stylometry?
