 We could be so much more aggressive in this... The NSA is keeping everything that's encrypted that ever goes over the internet, hoping to crack it and have AI go through it. Wellllll.... There's an easy attack vector on the bad guys - just encrypt a bunch of junk and make them store it forever.  
 everything i say is junk. win! 
 AND you could easily fill gigabytes with it. :p 
 i doubt i have typed 100mb yet 
 Yeah realistically, me neither 
 but maybe i will someday, only God will know 
 based on my my peak daily output around 5000 words... that's a phd thesis every 20 days when i'm really roarin 
 You could easily make a program to just generate junk and send it somewhere in the background. Oooooh that could be the secret super power of those meshtastic thingies 
 yeah, it would be pretty funny to train an AI on your own notes and then make a new nsec and publish them on it 
 It doesn't even need that. Random strings, but passed through some encryption thingamuhjigger, saved and emailed. They'd have to store it forever, then deal with their own retardation if they ever do crack any if them. 
 they already have too much to deal with but it's not hard to crank that up even higher... protonmail only costs like 10$/month so you can make much out of that ... assume they store everything, you can dump 10gb or more a month of that shit and then delete it in all the accounts and who the fuck cares

idk... just doesn't seem like it's gonna really make as much difference as just getting the fuck out of the way and letting God rain hell on them 
 Yeah true. You'd need a bunch of people doing it to raise their costs enough to matter.  
 i think it would be higher value distraction if it actually had grammar tho 
 Well, they'd never see the grammar. It would be encrypted. After they decrypt it, I'd assume they have some kind of tool to analyze total randomness to see if there's another layer of encryption to break. I could be misunderstanding, but I think you could pass data through any number of encryption layers without losing any data as long as you're not also compressing. But.... Idk. Ima nincompoot 
 yeah... i realised about 18 months ago that you can compress a lot of data into small numbers that represent bigger numbers

just based on the harmonics... i kinda went a bit mad on that, i can't even articulate right now what my thing was but i am sure it was wrong.lol!
