Proxies, it'll be expensive, and yeah, it's shady. You can find some on 4chan /aicg/ thread.

there's this crazy new tech called using your brain instead of MITM'ing yourself with some proprietary statistical model that is probably selling your data to Palantir and human trafficker billionaires you should try it sometime

It turned out getting so much as an anonymous email is a nightmare. The so‑called “privacy” providers (ProtonMail, Tutanota) won’t let you create an account without providing identifying details. Their paid plans don’t accept XMR or any crypto, which is surprising.

I tried buying Gmail accounts from a site with “dark” in the name — all of them were banned immediately; maybe I’m doing something wrong. Same with Yahoo and others. ProtonMail eventually worked, but it wouldn’t let me register Claude until I bought another email account and used that to verify the first one, and only then used that first one to register Claude.

Ironically, that “darknet” shop had no .onion address, required JavaScript, and used Cloudflare or something. Another site where I bought a residential proxy blocks some Tor nodes. The Claude site wouldn’t let me download the executable without a proxy.

Many of these shady vendors don’t accept XMR for payment — absurd. If I’m buying a proxy for privacy, expecting me to pay by credit card is laughable. So far I’ve wasted about $50 on accounts that didn’t work. I was promised refunds sometimes, but other times I couldn’t get one because the sellers required a working email to process it.

Right now I’ve paid another dubious site for a Claude subscription and they say it’ll take 12 hours — I’m worried it’s a scam.

Staying anonymous is basically impossible; I’ve wasted ridiculous time and money. If I’d had an anonymous Claude subscription from the start, I could’ve let it handle all these dumpster sites for me.

And to anyone saying “you don’t need AI, use your brain”: that’s easy for people who’ve never built a real software project. They don’t understand how slow and tedious handling APIs, build systems, and all the small headaches is. By the time you finish at that pace vs the pace the world is moving at right now, it will become irrelevant anyway.

All in all the web is so hostile towards anonimity it's unbelievable, including most websites you'd expect to be privacy-first, including this one btw.

They just disabled the tor node again, lol. They should just switch this to a regular BB with usernames for everyone.

There's also a fork for having it use the splatoon wiki, though disappointingly not decorated to be splatoon themed yet.

As someone that doesn't like AI stuff on the premise that it's trying to decieve you into thinking it's new information in the medium it's mimicking, rather than a lossy echo of nothing in particular; I'm quite fond of pics that are obviously generated in an earlier model. Like it's not trying to trick you, so you can take it as what it is. I hope the AI models that persist after the datacenter bubble pops will be wonky looking like this.

apple has a budget laptop line now, unless you're a thirdie in which case you're fucked anyway because the only way to get components like RAM which don't cost an arm and a leg is to get them through an OEM like apple. i dont know why even bring this apple tax point, like have you been living under a rock? everything is scalped, you cant build a PC for cheap anymore

>>33528
You can still get celeron tier laptops for $100-200, plus they will often sell old thinkpads that aren't a meme second hand at even lower prices, plus i know a guy who will buy the PC parts from multiple sources and sell me a build without VAT. Burger treatlerites might no longer have access to the same cheap PC and part imports, but that doesn't matter as much, when those still have the superior economies of scale.

even if it's not linux, id still use a unix os over windows slop

>>33532
even those will get scalped as soon as some youtuber hypes them up as cheap alternatives

>>33532
Those 4GB N150 shitbooks are going to chug like crazy running windows lmao.

>>33538
Don't post this slop again

Ok I'm giving up, evidently LLMs and their ilk are here to stay so how do I learn to make these chatbots do things they shouldn't do? Any resources, and comprehensive in depth articles?

I'm gonna go a little easy on you. I don't think there's "bad" and "good" guys so much. After all I have heard many times on this board from anons who have genuine bloodlust and wish to rape and murder the bourgeoisie, including the children and so forth. So morality doesn't really come into it. It's just a pure power struggle between two classes. Marx himself said "when it is our turn, we will not make excuses for the terror." and so on.

Putting that aside, I think capitalism as a system runs on an internal logic that even the richest and most powerful bourgeoisie cannot erase through their willpower alone. You refusing to collaborate wouldn't really change much. Even if the world's richest man, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, stopped collaborating with capitalism, they would just kill him. They would just replace you with a more willing collaborator. There is always a "they" that overwrites "you." So either everyone in the ruling class picks the perfect moment to stop collaborating at the same time, or there is a revolution. The latter is obviously more likely.

As for automation, you are no different than an engineer designing power looms in the 1780s to replace hand loom weavers, just a more advanced form of that. You too may be replaced. However the bourgeoisie are creating a crisis. If you replace workers to cheapen commodities, and workers double as consumers, how will workers pay for cheaper commodities without wages? They are also swelling the reserve army of labor, and making the unemployed dependent upon the employed for survival.

So like the other anon said, you are also an unwitting accelerationist.

Nah because you're engaging in toxic sycophancy: The higher ups want AI, so you're giving them AI regardless if that's a good idea. You're harming them by obeying them.

disgusting anti-morality. "I might as well collaborate because someone else will do it anyways", that's exactly what they all say to themselves. accelerationists are filth.

>>33523
Also who is the 'more willing collaborator'? You are the most willing collaborator, you are currently collaborating.

It's not impossible to work a job where you actually help people and aren't helping to wage class war against the poor.

who even is mike kuketz and why should i care

mike cucketz? i think i fucked his wife

>>33300

In the German-speaking world, Kuketz is one of the most well-known and influential authorities on the subject of privacy. He spreads his propaganda primarily via his blog, Mastodon, and his own forum. By the way, that forum is a total cult; it's full of people who believe in the "rule of law" and think the EU or the German state are absolutely perfect. The forum is so hypocritical because you are NEVER allowed to question the underlying power structures of the system. This means you can't actually discuss privacy there at all, because you have to operate entirely within the confines of the system. And that is exactly what defines Kuketz. He is a respected "privacy expert" but his entire ideology is 100% conformist. It feels as though the German state deliberately and systematically made this "independent expert" so prominent. Lately, he’s become a bit more anti-US corporation, but only because ORANGE MAN BAD. People always act as if Kuketz were "independent", even though it’s so obvious which political corner he comes from (left-liberal) and that he is absolutely loyal to the state.

Average experience in the Kuketz forum:

>Oh, that won't happen, that would be illegal! Please, no conspiracy theories!! Please, no critical questions about the Google Pixel hardware!! No, the BND would never do that, we're living in a Rechtsstaat™! 14 Eyes? Never heard of it. Of course, EU laws protect our data perfectly and it's very competent!

its over.

old school surveillance satellites are problematic because they're very expensive and cant maintain constant observation due to (obviously) being in orbit and going all around earth and having limited field of vision, and its pretty easy for the target to know when they could be possibly watched
starlink started to send some surveillance satellites among their constellation, which would have the advantage of being very numerous and everywhere so able to maintain constant surveillance. Ofc you dont easily get optical image as good as the old school spy satellites that are hubbles telescopes pointed at earth (although there are techniques to combine many lower res images to get a better one), but you can maintain constant monitoring everywhere, watch other emissions (infrared and other EM emissions), and the target cant know they are being watched or easily pick out the spy ones among the regular starlink sats

>>33082
>its all a grift and the only real utilitarian goal is mass surveillance

its 2026 dumb ass i don't think companies need to use "space" as a way to get mass surveillance funding, they just partner with the CIA or something like palantir or flock.

>>33456
Looks like a small nuke, holy shit

>>33457
It's about the technical capacity of surveillance, I never mentioned anything about funding
