Cool, cool cool cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.
OP is learning about archive.org for the first time?
Oh great the second I become president my DeviantArt is getting leaked
“deleted” eh?
What’s posted to the internet, STAYS on the internet. Forever. Stay safe friens
It was forensics. They used forensics. Ai did not help, probably got a bit in the way even. You can do these things with data. We told you several times
Yup, data archival. Now imagine this future: right now, encrypted data transfers may be wire-tapped and stored. When quantum computers are available, all that traffic will be decryptable. This includes pretty much all general HTTPS traffic since TLS mostly uses ECDHE for key exchange which isn’t quantum secure.
I bet nation state actors are recording everything they can.Damn, dude… that’s insane and I’m surprised it’s never occurred to me.
I’ve had the realization before as I realize that maybe my password database will eventually be easily cracked… but there’s no reason it cannot apply to data in transit as well, as long as someone is recording it.
Sure. As far as I can tell Palantir sells the software that police, ICE and the military use to Face ID suspects, including “aliens” and Osama Bin Laden (way back when that happened).
Once you scan your face data and post it online, you can assume security agencies (Palantir clients) load it into Palantir software to complete your profile. Privacy is dead.
Palantir is an evil company.
This was pretty evident the second they named their company over the tool used by The Dark Lord Sauron and Saruman to spy on the actions of others from Lord of the Rings.
You don’t need AI for this, just a ton of money for storage and either tolerance for a slow query (like 15-20 minutes) or an engineer who knows what they’re doing in search.
Anything ever posted online can be archived and searched later. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to cross reference publicly available sources along with subpoenaed data.
I think even Facebook said years ago it’s less taxing on the systems to unlink content rather than delete it.
Yeah but that’s basically how deleting works for any normal system. You remove the pointer telling the computer where the data is, then you flag that section of data as free for writing to. It’s not until something writes over the data is it truly gone.
That’s not what’s happening here.
Think of a database where nothing is editable. You can only add additional data. So you can’t delete a post you can only add a deleted = true flag.
Much easier to keep this kind of database in sync.
Ah gotcha, very bogus. Kinda speaks to how cheap storage is, doesn’t it?
It’s true except in a filesystem you lose the name and location and it can be overwritten. In this instance it sounded like they just prevent access but keep all that data there, still accessible and readable and wont be overwritten.
Don’t just be mad at palantir.
The American government funded palantir.
Palantir couldn’t exist without the helping hand of the American government.
The time to give a fuck was long before Snowden made his leaks.
All the dystopian stuff people fear the government will do is already being done by a framework of companies funded by our government.
Yet another reason why you shouldn’t get nazi tattoos… jfc.
As much as Palantir is an evil organization, the underlying problem is libs constantly supporting fascism.
As an actual “leftist”, I don’t want nazi military bros as my “representative”.
Kinda wild how nobody else mentions this.
I don’t live in Maine anymore, but his handling of this, and clear stance on other issues important to me, have actually strengthened my willingness to vote for him was I still in the state.
I actually believe him when he says he got it while drunk on a night off with the marines, supposedly not knowing the meaning at the time. He then went on to say he immediately scheduled to cover it because getting it removed would have taken too much time to figure out because Maine doesn’t have any places that do it. Like he wanted that shit no longer visible on his body asap and went out of his way to get it done sooner than later.
Similarly with LGBTQ+ rights. Yeah he said some edgy shit on the Internet a long time ago, but he’s said he’s changed and now aggressively supports queer rights in Maine. Idk, maybe he’ll pull a Fetterman, but I don’t get that vibe.
Even if he is still in the process of fully deconstructing things, he is clearly taking the correct actions in the here and now to further that process.
I grew up with people like him and almost without fail, when I actually sat down and had real conversations with them as adults, they’ve been positive and minds have been changed in all directions.
Blue collar Mainers are some of the first people to hate billionaires, and fiercely support small government, personal freedoms and privacy. This honestly means supporting queer rights in so far as they want the freedom to be themselves too. They have been systematically lied to by a party that doesn’t actually want small government or personal liberties, and many of them have realized that.
We need to be able to welcome these people willing to be educated, and genuinely capable of changing their thinking and their ways. These people are closeted radical leftists. We will need them on board.
He seems to walk the walk as well as talk the talk.
What is it with this site and hating “libs” like it feels like Twitter with the Trump goons.
Users like techcrit have Glen Greenwald syndrome
Ok, cool to learn something new. But why is the top hit when I Google that name a fluff piece from the new Yorker about a fucking tennis player?

They’re the remnants of last year’s propaganda campaign. No one bothered to deprogram them. They tend to fire off their lines at unpredictable times like a toddlers toy with a low battery.
Imagine thinking your privacy is above profit where capitalism rules lmao
You muricas are too dumb to understand that nothing has more power than money on a profit driven society like yours, like the ones your stupid elite forced upon every country’s throat as they could
Your “market freedom” is actually money dictatorship, EUA is not a free country
TIL America is the only capitalist country
No! Read my comment again, it’s the only country that bomb other countries that do not want to participate in this prehistoric system
Like, they’ve been able to do this for 25 odd years.
There were gov data centers with thousands of petabytes when I was in college. Prism had the gov archiving every phone call and all internet traffic back in '08…
This is not news.
As soon as the quantum cryptography tech gets there, they’ll start decrypting the signal and matrix chats you had yesterday.
Privacy is illusory and temporary.
The US government is temporary. Not our privacy.
The
stasigovernment would never use my data against me. I’ve got nothing to hide. Hey I think I’ll go buy this doadd for no reason at all no subliminal advertising
Fuckers should help me restore my old academic portfolio then. Might as well put living in a dystopian surveillance state to helpful use.
It seems like these sorts of things can be used against you, but whenever it might actually benefit you they always come up short.
I was screaming this when COVID first hit.
