#2Recalling Simon Willison’s recent geoguessing challenge for o3, I considered, “What might o3 be able to tell me about myself, simply based on a list of URLs I’ve chosen to save?”

#3I do this to determine if a person I'm talking to online is potentially a troll. I copy a big chunk of their comment and post history into an LLM and ask for a profile.
The last few years, I've noticed an uptick in "concern trolls" that pretend to support a group or cause while subtly working to undermine it.
LLMs can't make the ultimate judgement call very well, but they can quickly summarize enough information for me to.

#4A while back I made a little script (for fun/curiosity) that would do this for HN profiles. It’d use their submission and comment history to infer a profile including similar stuff like location, political leaning, career, age, sex, etc. Main motivation was seeing some surprising takes in various comment threads and being curious about where it might have came from. Obviously no idea how accurate the profiles were, but it was similarly an interesting experiment in the ability of LLMs to do this sort of thing.

#5Maybe just me, but that title implies o3 is doing something surprising and underhanded, rather than doing exactly what it had been prompted to do.

#6Deus Ex showing us time and time again that it was decades ahead of its time.
"The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms."

#7Why the clickbait title? Yes, it's technically correct, but it obviously implies (as written) that o3 used those links "behind your back" and altered the replies.
Another option that's just as correct and doesn't mislead: "Profiling myself from my Pocket links with o3"
Note: title when reviewed is "o3 used my saved Pocket links to profile me"

#8I've been thinking about the possibities of using an LLM to sort through all my tabs; I'm one of those dreadful hoarders that has been living with the ":D" count on my phone for too long. Usually I purge them periodically but I haven't had the motivation to do do so in a long time. I just need an easy way to dump them to a csv or something like OP has from pocket.

#9non llm methods that are 5 years old are 100x better at profiling you :P

#10Is anyone using "AI chatbots" considering they are handing a detailed profile of their interests, problems, emotional struggles, vulnerabilities to advertisers? The machine has "the other end", you know, and we're feeding already enourmously powerful people with more power.
