alt Hacker News>We are aware that EFF has a project that used to be named after a pedophile on this subject
You bring this up like it's a well known incident, but my googling can find no evidence of it? The only reason not say the name of the project would be if it's common knowledge, but it's not?
ChatGPT research reckons you're making it up, and I'd be curious if you have evidence to the contrary?
It used to be called Panoptoclik (sp?), a reference to Foucault's theory of the panopticon. Focault's extracurriculars are well documented and not everything is an "incident" -- it's a thread on fingerprinting. People who study that are aware what is now called "cover your tracks", and people who do post grads tend to be well rounded enough to have read a bit of philosophy, or at least, they did in my day.
So what happened here is basically... AI told you that something that made you suspicious because you have zero subject matter expertise is suspect?
I'm not really sure how to react to someone who has a robot affirm their anxieties other than to stand by my previous statements and give a polite pointer at some terms to look up on Wikipedia rather than feed into a clanker.
