I keep thinking about the number of contronyms in English. These are words that mean the opposite of themselves.
In English you can clip paper (together) with a paper clip or (like Norwegian) you can clip paper (meaning to cut it up). So clip means both to attach and to seperate.

Two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee,
who lost their seats after defying President Trump,
threatened on Wednesday to block Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general
over a deal he cut to settle Mr. Trump’s lawsuit against the I.R.S.
The senators, John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina,
accused Mr. Blanche of refusing to put on paper his promise to kill aspects of the deal.
In June, Mr. Blanche said he would drop a proposed…

Princeton, BP, and a sad but extremely revealing chapter in the climate fight
"...a paper by two Princeton professors, Robert Socolow and Stephen Pacala, from the summer of 2004, 22 years ago. A two-decade-old academic paper does not seem all that crucial—but it played a huge role in setting the terms of the climate and energy debate, one that endures to this day. And it illustrates exactly how wasteful much of our current federal effort has become. So—even though it’s infuriating…

Having just read an excellent student paper comparing and contrasting The Crucible and The Hunt to The Salem Witch Trials and The Red Scare, I can only wonder how Americans once again fail to see the obvious when a high school student sees it so painfully clearly. What would be the new “Have you no sense of decency”? I suppose a good start would be for the media to become literate and call a spade a spade rather than attempting to pretend that there are two legitimate sides.

So one of the authors is Nicholas Carlini, who works for Anthropic. This is basically an ad for the three letter agencies to use Claude. It massively over-promises compared to what the actual paper says.
But, it is important. First, this is really about silencing people. The threat of identification is designed to make people afraid to talk online. There's a massive asymmetry between the fascists and the people. The fascists are weird racists and pedophiles who are obsessed with control. No one likes them. No one likes their ideas, because their ideas are creepy and bad.
When they talk about their ideas, that people should be murdered or kidnaped based on their skin color, that there should be a national dress code, that people's sex lives should be monitored, that children should be treated like objects that are owned by the parent (specifically, one parent), that people with different skin color or uteri should be considered as livestock, people fucking hate it because it's awful. When we talk about our ideas, that everyone should be able to eat and take care of themselves, that people who can't take care of themselves should be taken care of, that we should live in a society that values life, that we should live in harmony with nature, people like those ideas. When fascists out us for talking about those ideas, people support us. When we out people who are working as fascist goons those people have to face social consequences.
Everyone hates these people. The US government is currently less popular than it has ever been. The only way they can keep power is by making everyone think that they aren't extraordinarily unpopular. The only way to do that, the way authoritarian have always done it, is to make everyone afraid to talk.
But, yes, what this paper is saying is actually kind of bad. It looks like people who don't take any precautions at all in separating identities can be identified about 30% of the time (based on the results). It's unclear how this will actually work in the real world. Larger corpses will probably have more data, making connecting things easier.
This isn't as good as a human trying to dox someone. It's not going to work as well. It may only work in a small number of cases. There will be false positives (just like there are with people doing the work). It's probably not cheaper than hiring people. But it does mean that you can just dump money into a machine that has no ethical framework and get data out. That's the point. It's hard to find humans who will do evil shit like help dictatorships target human rights activists, but if a machine can do it for twice the price then it's a better deal for the dictatorship.
For most people, you just shouldn't care. This isn't for you. As long as you keep doing what you're doing, and you can keep everyone else doing what they're doing, then there aren't enough resources to actually target you. Even if they know who you are, there are just too many people who hate them and too few goons.
For people who might actually be targeted, there are a lot of things. First, keep in mind what you're putting into anonymous accounts. Any feature that's connected to your real life is a feature that can be extracted to identify you. This has always been true, it just may be easier to find now. Your identities should be totally siloed. It's also harder to identify you if you're writing anonymously as a collective. Collectives are better anyway because they can help check your thinking. When you write as a collective, you can help clean up each other's personal details and language. A collective develops its own voice, which is distinct from individual contributors. If you do this, and you also present your work as being from one "person," then it becomes even harder for anyone (systems or individuals) to really figure it out.
I'm not going to do a full deep dive on this because I just don't have time, but your existing threat model should *already cover these threats* if you need to make sure your writing remains anonymous.
This paper doesn't present any novel methodologies. It just extracts a bunch of features, which a human would extract as notes, and tries to correlate those between identities, which is how human researchers work. Linguistic forensics were mentioned (not by name) in the paper, but the actual methodology doesn't actually seem to use them.
So a thing with less ethics can do a worse job for more money (when adjusted for the real, not investor deflated, price of tokens). It's worth knowing. It's not the end of the world, but it is a good reminder to check your threat model and make sure it's up to date.

This paper is at least a bit hype. The methodology is not actually targeting people who are trying to anonymize their stuff. It's startling with accounts on different platforms that are intentionally linked, then making them pseudo anonymous by removing the links, then asking the LLM to find the link.
While this isn't nothing, it's definitely not as scary as it sounds. It's unclear to me how the methodology would actually perform at scale.
That said, it's definitely something that would get a bunch of funding from the worst people on earth. The question is, what's their RoI? That's not really clear to me right now.
I need to see more research on this, but it's still worth keeping this in mind. There may well be ways to automate linguistic forensics, even if this isn't actually it. Those method would be linked to LLMs (indirectly at least) and should be considered to be more likely now than they have been in the past.
I added some other notes. I'll read through the research more and try to do a writeup when I can.

In case anyone needs to know, if you jostle an inflorescence of yarrow over a piece of white paper, very small (1 mm) wasps fall out. Most tend to hop around instead of flying away. Extremely hard to photograph, disappearing and reappearing like miniature Nightcrawlers from the X-Men universe. Am going to chill some plants to slow them down, so stay tuned if you're interested.

The wall features four large circular signs with Chinese characters: "轉" (turn), "常" (often), "輪" (wheel), and "法" (law). In front of the building, two individuals are seated on the ground, one on a small stool, engaged in calligraphy or painting on large sheets of paper. A wooden bench and a tall lamp post are also visible in the foreground.

The journal Toxicology Reports had removed the paper this spring after editors determined it was so seriously flawed it could harm patients and pose a risk to public health.
Public health advocates immediately criticized the move, and said Kennedy appeared t…
