@Numerfolt @alice yeah, we need to switch to offensive mode.
That makes me want to create a nightshade fuse FS.
So when you want to upload the image from your picture folder, it nightshades it on the fly.@dolanor @Numerfolt @alice I jist ban entire ASNs if necessary.

@sinvega the problem is that they *take* regardless. So give them poison freely.

@alice oh I was agreeing with you. any time they ask, the answer is "get bent" or just "of course officer! My name is Yvette Cooper"

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.
Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.
Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).
Using VPNs set to different locations.
Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.
Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.
If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.
@alice
Thanks Alice!... also, consider varying the spelling of your name across many places and keep a record. When you start receiving junk mail and spam and phishing using a specific spelling, you will know who is selling or leaking your data.
Looking at YOU, Wholefoods

I've been doing this for years and it gives me a petty little moment of joy every time. I guess that's why I, a straight cis man, get ads for bras on sites where I haven't blocked ads enough?

@alice my real name if Firstname Lastname I was born on 01/01/2000. Except when I’m signing up for apps about coffee shop loyalty then usually my birthday is the day after I’m signing up on the year 2000 because they often give out treats on your birthday

@alice The few times I’ve played with LLM’s, I always tell it that the code doesn’t work, the specific functions don’t exist, then ask it why it confidently lies. I have no issues poisoning training data that was stolen from the sum total of written human experience.

@alice this makes me think I want to deliver a lesson to my 11-14 year old computer science pupils on What They Don’t Teach You In School About Computer Science. Grateful for any input on what to include.
