Export the externalities baby!

TAs soon to be replaced by AI.

That'll make you unemployable as a software developer.

Luckily I don't want to be employable as a software developer

Software developer for 20 years here, never had a problem getting jobs without a github

Maybe that will change in the future. Then again I'm pretty sure my next job won't be software. I have no interest in building software in the AI era.

I think the implication is this will become trivial and trivially automated, no human investigator needed. I bet there will be plugins in one year's time to right click on a post and get a full report on who the author is.

agreed and the new frontier here will probably be obfuscation by creating false positives with these same tools, but that kind of renders the web unusable in my mind.

I had this same thought. Seems fairly easy to just put off a strong false signal. If you don’t want anyone to know that you live in Finland, make a point to constantly mention how much you enjoy living in Peru.

Wouldn't it also become trivial to pretend to be another author?

it may become more trivial to llm your comments/blog/whatever into a different "voice", but there is so much that can be used for de-anonymization that the llm-assisted technique dont address.

for example, you may change the content of your comments, but if you only ever comment on the same topic, the topic itself is a signal. when you post (both day and time), frequency of posts, topics of interest, usernames (e.g. themes or patterns), and much more.

> Right now when I search for "ChatGPT", the top app is a counterfeit app with a fake logo, is it really this store which is supposed to help us fight scams?

Just did Play search for "ChatGPT" and the top-2 results were for OpenAI's app (one result was sponsored by OpenAI one result was from Google's search). So anecdotally your results may vary.

See what I'm seeing on my device : https://ibb.co/DJKGM8d

So maybe before talking about anything about direct installs, they could fix the big scams on the Play Store.

So no access to SMS for apps distributed on F-Droid?

Fine by me, what are people using SMS for in 2026 except for spam and sending 2FA codes insecurely?

(I'm being facetious here but this is massively preferable to disabling sideloading altogether)

> sideloading

If you care about the topic, which you seemingly do, stop using this doubleplusgood term.

How would that solve scammer-driven installs? The scammer is not in a rush, they already have the victim listening and following their instructions.

Mind sharing the prompt?

It was along the lines of "try to install colima with macports, look at errors, apply a fix". GitHub Copilot w/Sonnet 4.6 model

What is you preferred socioeconomic system? Any countries successfully implementing it so we can copy them?

Lmgtfy: Switzerland, Norway...

So, capitalism?

This comment thread fully equating culture with economic system is probably part of the problem.

I don't think you can separate culture from economic system, they influence each other all the time - it's the same people.

Nothing stops other surveillance companies from donating cameras and 24-7 monitoring services.
