  • Here’s a general primer https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/introduction-to-stylometry-with-python

    It’s ultimately just statistics, and AI is far better than humans at finding patterns in massive data sets. They are perfectly suited to stylometry. The more text they have of a given user, the higher the probability of cross-referencing against identified users (Facebook, Twitter, etc).

    Even if you never post publicly, the problem is western governments have been engaging in dragnet mass surveillance for decades, which means the US gov — probably many govs, especially your own — almost certainly have every text message, email, etc you’ve ever written; all are transmitted unencrypted. This means the US, and likely your own gov, have the highest probability of deanon-ing you. They also have the highest budgets ace access to perform such a task.

    Again, it’s only a matter of time until 99% of “anonymous” accounts, above a certain word count, are cross-referenced; likely only a few thousand words. I suspect they could already do 99% of accounts above 10 or 20k words.









  • “The rules are made up” has been the ruling classes M.O. for all of history. No rule of law has ever applied to them.

    The SC stole the 2000 election for Bush. The fascist oligarchy has been playing the long game and almost completely destroyed the American experiment. They control the entire R party, and enough D’s to neuter meaningful resistance. The only question now is whether the American people will take the power back, or continue to accept the coup and embrace a totalitarian dystopia far worse than the Gestapo or KGB could have ever dreamed.



  • The exact same thing has happened across all of 5 eyes, so I assume all of 14 eyes and probably the rest of the developed world; successive conservative and neoliberal governments have “starved the beast” by cutting public funding, appointing morally bankrupt leadership, etc, etc.

    It’s almost like this wholesale destruction of public broadcasting is all by-design of our capitalist oligarchies, to benefit the private media propaganda machines they have constructed in parallel.
