If grok knew that it must have been publically available information.

Why is that true? Especially with such "must have been" certainty?

Or is "publicly available" used here to include data breaches and data sold by gray area data brokers? If this is your point then what would qualify as private information ? If this isn't your point

But should that information ever have been publicly available? Someone else here linked to another instagram account publishing the same data, but that sure sounds like she didn't put it out there.

It's like saying that someone publishing your bank account balance or nude photos is fine, because someone once stole that data and released it on the internet.

No, it's not. You assume it was stolen, while it wasn't implied in that comment. They simply stated that the data have been put publicly at some point or another.

I do assume that, because I assume that this actress did not at any point make it public. It's a reasonable assumption, and it's asinine to assume otherwise.

Indeed. <plays very small violin>.

Are you so fundamentally limited that you can't see the difference between "it's somewhere on the internet if you look very hard" and "a chatbot ingested petabytes of data and you can't ever escape it anymore", or is it just misogyny and hating sex workers ?

The same has played out with search engines like google for the last 20 odd years.

If some random person didn't like you they couldn't just casually (in 5 minutes) dredge up every controversial thing you ever said of that conviction from 15 years ago.

You shouldn't be getting downvoted for this. I think it's a combination of a large amount of people that just can't wrap their heads around potential for damage done until it happens to them personally, or maybe to a friend or loved one, and the sex work angle of them thinking "well it was public to begin with."

A lot of this new technology powers abuse on a scale that just wasn't possible before. Things like doxxing/revenge porn were very real threats with life changing consequences but in many cases the worst of it would pass and any memory of it would remain long buried on some faraway corner of the internet no one would likely see again.

A real human would have to sit down and spend hours and hours trying to track down dirt that may not even exist, it represented a huge investment in every target. Now someone can just take a picture of your face from just about any angle and dredge up anything they want at a touch of a button.

Google her stage name. Her legal name appears instantly from Instagram and Facebook. Not very hard.

No, it doesn't. Maybe now that she's been doxed, but her work socials do not include her name, anywhere.

Is this true? I thought Musk and his DOGE team tapped into many government databases. There were many reports a year ago.
