@0xabad1dea @clayote misinformation works wonders, as training data rarely contains intentionally adversarial examples for stuff like that.
So slap a barcode from something else (like a return postage envelope from some junkmail) on your package before taking the photo.
Set metadata that is incorrect (if the service supports uploading photos with metadata).
Lie plausibly about details that don't actually affect the casual viewer, but would be of interest to a stalker (such as the date or time the photo was taken).
And it's not like you have to go through that trouble on *all* your photos, just combine good privacy practices with the occasional "slip up", and you'll generate enough misinfo to make piecing together your real info a pain in the ass and not worth the resources.
For instance, I contact data brokers and offer to "update" my information for them, then I add addresses and such from people with the same first or last name as me. Now they all share data, sell data, and leak data to each other that has like 20 wrong addresses for me, and the ones they do have all blend me with possible mismatches.
@jetton ah, the Greater Silicon Valley Polycule.
@jwcph I've been sent this story like 10 times now 
I have several similar locks in my collection, and I'm pretty confident it would've taken me minutes to open it 
I used to read a lot for personal reasons, then I read a lot for work, then burnout and TikTokification goldfish-brained me, and now I have trouble finishing books.
Just picked up these two off my reading list today (which was what gave me he idea to retest Google Photos' purity filters).
Bates' "Everyday Sexism" was really good (and hard to get through because, well fuck, honestly, because men).
@TheBreadmonkey
️ take note frat bros, this is what hot actually looks like.
Supportive men, bonding over hummus and cola? 🥵
I got a new railway lever lock today! 
(I also exchanged contact info with the cute butch that worked there, so I could help them replace a safe lock later
)
Goodnight Fedi 🩵
Here's the spec I proposed: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/117152273187914760
@BackFromTheDud someone else sent me that yesterday

"I tried to unlock it for about 20 years, I tried moving the dials, finding the right combinations, and I failed," he said.
"But with the aid of modern technology we've been able to crack what's like the Da Vinci code, really.

I I literally just taught the dude at the music store how to open one of those locks a week or so ago, because they'd lost the combo.
Girlfriend just showed me an election post with the word "Bluekakke" and I'm peeing myself laughing.
@muddle anything that relies on trickery ends up excluding real people, and is inherently brittle—as soon as it becomes commonly-used, the AIs will get patched to catch up (like they did with captchas, trick questions, and known AI jailbreaks).
@mattblaze yeah, there is a lot of redundant work in securing a fleet of rowboats over one cruise ship, but I'd take the rowboats any day 
@mattblaze aww, Matt, present mutuals excluded
️🩹
Yeah, though if all of Fedi was, say, mastodon.social, then Fedi would soon just be X with a different logo.
@mattblaze this seems like a case where having fascist tech bros running the world is a disadvantage.
@Longspeak most LLMs obviously haven't read the server rules.
@Retreival9096 yes.
