Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.
She’s saying that when you use social media, only like, read, etc., stuff that you want to learn from or you like listening to. Scroll past the flight or flight stuff, that’s the story they want for you. Your feed will quickly be a nice place to hang out and it will poison their data.
Data poisoning can go a lot further than this. There are fascinating (and hilarious) videos by people who poison their music with inaudible (to humans) noise which, when it’s stolen by an AI company and used to train a model, will cause the model to output unintelligible garbage. Images can also be manipulated this way so that the model sees a completely different image than the human. Then there are the Nepenthes traps for AI data trawlers which trap the trawlers in an inescapable web of nested webpages of nonsense. The future is bright.
That’s not poison. Thats helping them profile you. 🤔
an inescapable web of nested webpages of nonsense
Like the most annoying webpage from the old Internet?

I’m an amateur photographer and I post my work online sometimes. How can I use this on my photo? Can you share any links to tools and tutorials?
I’m not sure if this is still working or not. They also mention glaze. https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html
That’s really cool, I gotta give it a try.

Bro is asking how to poison his work for ai himself to protect his creative work and help combating corpo ai.
What else could he possibly mean?
Yes. That is totally what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.
Probably referring to this section.
Images can also be manipulated this way so that the model sees a completely different image than the human.
This sounds like steganography.
What’s the tl;dr for people that don’t want to navigate to YouTube?
Don’t engage with algorithms, especially ones trying to sell things, like major corporate social media.
Pretend to be something you’re not, especially vulnerable targeted populations. This lowers their ability easily target minorities.
So the fact that I occasionally get ads in Spanish, despite being a native English speaker in a mainly English-speaking country, means I’m doing something right?

If you’re on android, you can use an app like NewPipe to view YouTube content without actually going to YouTube. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe
On a browser, you can use an invidious instance like https://yewtu.be/. That also lets you view YouTube content ad free without signing in.
invidious instances never work for me, but with this one i could get further than ever, but when trying to play a video i get this error: “The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.”
what could this be?
I second this. If you get a response can you please let me know?
A response is in! :)
Thanks OP.
Best I can do is AI generated transcript: https://pastes.io/if-i-told-
The irony in this being a youtube link though
People using YouTube need this info more than people using PeerTube.
True, just thought it was funny.
It’s ok though. Using MPV to watch YouTube is a good way to stick it to the man
