The same thing could be said about nearly anyone here, even the doxxed to some degree (they'd have the best information available to imitate), so it really goes nowhere.
Not really. Most members are very recognizable and were active on SC2. It's people like you who cant be validated.
The testimony to my authenticity comes from three diverse sources: two of which are historically disagreeable with one another (other than my identity), and one unrelated source, as well. There are probably several others that could verify my voice as well, from various incarnations of SC on Discord and other servers.
From how far back? I never heard your voice until that vocaroo thread 1-2 years ago and you sounded like Inquirer. And yes it can be done with AI. You could train an LLM with Inquirer's voice if you kept recordings of Skype conversations with him and stored them.
I made the case way back that pictures and voice clips will lead to doxing as technology evolves, and that voice recordings could be faked. Some folks laughed at me because of that. Some years later, it became commonplace to search via images. Voice doxing is coming soon, probably. Fake recording is also very accessible now. All it used to take is going on discord to a random server and ask someone there to make a recording for you, now you dont even need to do that.
I could even use post timestamps 12 years ago to infer which users are the same people. That's how I proved the jhawk/Tom and Inquirer/SensitiveSoul connections before they became public knowledge. I could do a better job now, though. I could use ollama and LLMs for sentence analysis and use more appropriate sigma levels, I kind of winged it in a rush back then, as I did it mainly because Edvard said I couldn't. I didn't compute a Bayes factor nor did I report any statistically rigorous confidence level.
The only point to all this could be some statement on anonymity and the puerility of making any assertions for accomplishments, identity and prestige without doxxing yourself.
We're all anonymous here.
In those terms, you will have to lean more heavily on testimony, while *Tony* has the "benefit" of being doxxed. (But, as I said, any of this could be faked by someone willing to put in some minimum effort, regardless.)
Hes not really doxed, and his anonymity should be respected. Despite his recent attacks, I wouldn't use his real name here nor would I look him up. That's just good manners.
...Oh, I should add, formally, that I am *not* Inquirer, nor have I ever been.
There is no evidence of that.
