Stop posting things like this, you're just giving them ideas, and you can't take it back once it's out there.

I assure you, you may find the prodpect abhorrent, but there are people around who'd consider it a perfectly cromulent Tuesday.

I’m not sure who “they” are, but I’m pretty sure they’re already doing that, and don’t need me to get the idea. I think it’s important to talk about what LLMs mean for privacy. Profiling every HN user might be a useful tool to are people more aware of the problems. But I totally get your unease, which is also why I haven’t done that myself.

The cat is out of the bag, can’t get it back in by ignoring the fact.
