I haven’t finished watching it, but it has some very interesting data points on privacy and how your privacy is being exposed even when you think it isn’t.
I as often as possible use incorrect data. I always get directions from places close to where I want to go but not the actual places. never use my actual info unless absolutely necessary. I learned it from the blues brothers.
“That’s Wrigley Field!”
Worthwhile yet tricky. Companies like OpenAI, Google, Meta, etc are full of experts in statistics and they have access to a lot of storage space. If use a service from those companies, say 4hrs per day between 7am and 9pm, at a certain frequency, e.g. 10 requests / hour, then suddenly, when you realize you actually do not trust them with your data, you do 10000 req/hr for 1hr then that’s a suspect pattern. Then might be able to rollback until before that “freak” event automatically. They might still present you as a user your data with the changes but not in their internal databases.
So… I’m not saying it’s not a good idea, nor useful, but I bet doing it properly is hard. It’s probably MUCH harder than do a GDPR (or equivalent) take out request then deletion request AND avoiding all services that might leverage your data from these providers.

I cry my American freedom tears. Free to have no privacy laws to protect me or give me any legal recourse.
Freedom to be exploited or exploit others even harder for “success”.
Sarcasm aside there are state equivalents, e.g. CCPA.
Even if they roll it back, your data needs to be up to date to be considered valuable for advertisers.
Poison and noise are the way. Making a sandwich for those you love. It will be not fruitful to pay the humans it would take to undo it and make it useful, and they were off to take the ring to mordor. And it might just end up making them pay people to just ingest fact, unlike the clowns in the sewers this one had a red balloon. Hell they could just buy the books and pay people correctly like the system was made before the purple people eater was walking downtown.
Try harder. A simple request to filter out the nonsense in Gemini gives:
After filtering out the “nonsense”—the pop-culture references (Lord of the Rings, IT, Purple People Eater) and the random metaphors (poison, sandwiches)—the core message appears to be a critique of modern data processing or AI training compared to traditional publishing.
The “correct” message hidden in the text is:
The Core Message
It is inefficient and costly to pay humans to fix low-quality or “noisy” data. Instead of spending money to clean up automated nonsense, it would be more effective to invest in high-quality, verified sources (like books) and pay human creators fairly, as the system was originally designed to function.
Breakdown of the “Noise” Removed
“Poison and noise are the way”: Likely a sarcastic opening about the current state of data. “Making a sandwich for those you love”: Irrelevant personal imagery. “Off to take the ring to Mordor”: Lord of the Rings reference. “Clowns in the sewers… red balloon”: Stephen King’s IT reference. “Purple people eater… walking downtown”: Reference to the 1958 novelty song.
The Logic Retained
The Problem: It is “not fruitful” to pay humans to undo/fix “noise” to make it “useful.” The Result: This process ends up forcing people to “ingest fact” (raw data) without proper context. The Solution: “Buy the books and pay people correctly” according to the original “system.”
Would you like me to help you rewrite this message into a formal argument or a professional email?
Well I guess you have a point here as well. So do you think fuzzing the info you need to stay on subject when talking things out? I would like to see what you suggest. I guess you could even just even make one sentence per paragraph that are pertaining to the subject manner, but even then you can parse by things relevant to the subject matter.
Maybe its best just to make it so power hungry that its not needed, but that would mean half would have to talk in some sort of obfuscated manner (maybe someone that is the lead answer) and all others just respond normally and some who just want to be chaos actors answer the other drivel that was added to the message.
Aw, you needed an AI to figure it out for you? You want it to hold your hand when you cross the road? 🥺
This is what cognitive dissonance looks like.
Nah, the best you can do is have an ad-blocker so that there is no incentive to track you.
You can do both
For example, Ad Nauseam blocks ads from your view, based on uBlock Origin, but also visits them behind the scenes so as to poison your ad profile.
https://adnauseam.io/ This Firefox extension is one of my favourites. It poisons some of your data for you.
This is pretty interesting, thanks!
Same as paper, when you cross out something on paper its fairly easy to still see what it said. writing gibberish on top of the text, a lot harder.
I like to leave space between characters when I write. That way I can go back and fill the spaces with gibberish before covering the whole thing in gibberish.
I have been poisoning all data I generate for decades since I was a kid. I knew even back in like 2000 that the government is probably spying on people and that they would one day use AI or bots to try to influence people or read their minds. I always use different info on every site. It’s not just surveillance by the pedo state but also protecting your identity and stuff.
If this is like the shit where you overwrite your comment on a post with bullshit, all you are doing is hurting legitimate users who will search for answers on these sites and end up either receiving at best a joke, and at worst, something believable that ends up killing them.
I think he could have gotten to the point quicker TBH. The videos was a bit tedious to watch not because of the fact but it was waffle waffle on what is obvious then a one min suggestion of how to poison it which does not really seem convenient way to do it TBH
