I think this will only work with people narrating their lives on social media.

"Got coffee from my favorite Granier at La Rambla! Ready of new day of work designing hats for dogs"

"Me and Bobby heading to Madrid to see my friend Concepcion. Do you like his new hat?"

"Just got nominated for 'best business-casual hat' at this year's Barkies! So proud"

And so on...

Because how are you going to de-anonymize some random ramblings about Linux and beans? Everyone likes Linux and beans.

Hell you could even pull a me and just lie about some shit. A story I heard from a YouTube video or documentary gets modified into an old bastard I knew for example. Introducing such variables would be easy for a human to eventually pick up that I'm lying but an AI may come to the conclusion that I'm Zack Hazard. Point is that I dirty up the info about myself, the psychotic larp I do semi-consistently probably also helps.

This is good advice. Pick a person you know and drop hints that you’re them. Bonus points if that person is terminally online. Anyway, gotta get back to running X.

Nope. It's in special tiny ways we author text. I think.
