With low precision, you're in Japan. But I don't need the JPY. of course that could be obfuscation.
The currency is not related to my location, I picked a random one, but thanks anyway :)

#13Only if said users happen to commit OPSEC failures themselves. LLMs aren't magic... If someone can figure out who I am or what city I live in just by this username or my comments (with proof), I'll personally send you 500,000 JPY. I'm quite confident that's not going to happen though. The paper referenced in the article does not even explain their exact testing methodology (such as the tools or exact prompts used) be…
I'm pretty sure they can use the meta data the pull from your various interactions with search and the text you post online. These services build fingerprints of your habits using these techniques to follow you everywhere. At some point in the chain they could easily connect this fingerprint to your identity as soon as you log into and account that contains a piece of identifying information about you. The threat is…
Who is they? Which services?
From what I can tell, the article/paper in question does not appear to utilize any of the techniques you mention, but I'd be interested to learn more about it.
