Not necessarily having it openly published; I would be more than happy with someone who red-teams in good faith building this and reporting to me the results they found.
And I might not have been super clear in the OP. The goal isn’t to de-anonymize reddit posts, but to ‘crawl’ for reddit posts that contain similar text patterns and contextual clues that are present in my (public-facing) writings.
I will obviously prove my identity later on and give text from elsewhere. I obviously do not intend to use my two posts and two comments from LessWrong.
I think someone who would build this tool for nefarious purposes is not going to suddenly jump from “not doing nefarious things” to “doing nefarious things” due to a $500 bounty, that seems unrealistic.
I already said that I would offer the initial bounty to someone who replicated the results of the paper but clarified it would be doubled if it surfaced my actual posts (which I would verify). That would be a binary outcome.
I would like it to know if my public-facing posts are sufficient to detect posts elsewhere (assuming they too are sufficient). It would in fact inform me that I could alter my stylography on new forums in the future to avoid them being attributed to texts elsewhere.
You are a very hostile person.
