Junk feat Caskey – Two Sides
Introduction: As a cyber security researcher majoring in influence operations, I am committed to scrutinizing music from influencers with a large following in order to understand the potential impact of their lyrics and messages on society. I believe that it is important to approach this task with a critical eye and an open mind, in order to avoid cognitive biases and reduce harm.
Also as a rapper, I have observed over the years the significant impact that some of the artists I listen to have on their listeners. However, this influence is often exercised in a manner that does not align with the concept of “responsible disclosure” that we, as cyber security researchers, strive to uphold. My mission is to mitigate the potential risks that these influence operations strategies may pose to society by increasing awareness and shining a light on this critical issue. By doing so, I hope to reduce or prevent harm to all citizens who may be impacted by these practices.
My Approach:
- I strive to provide a comprehensive analysis of the lyrics of songs, taking into account the historical events referenced in the song and the potential for misinterpretation.
- I aim to present the analysis in a non-biased way, and to present it in a non-harmful way even when negative references to specific groups are made.
- I understand the potential for misinterpretation and misquote, and we are committed to providing a clear perspective on the lyrics, so as to not misinterpret the intention of the authors or worse, quote them out of context thus causing unintentional harm.
- I understand that music is a form of art and self-expression, and we respect the right of artists to express their thoughts and opinions. However, we also recognize the potential impact of their lyrics and messages on society, and we believe it is important to analyze and understand this impact.
- I understand that music can be a powerful tool for influence operations, and we believe it is important to be aware of this potential and to approach music from influencers with a large following with a critical eye.
Conclusion: I believe that it is important to approach music from influencers with a large following with a critical eye, in order to understand the potential impact of their lyrics and messages on society. We are committed to providing a comprehensive and non-biased analysis of the lyrics, and to presenting them in a non-harmful way.
We take privacy seriously and we want to ensure that our readers are aware of our privacy policy. We recommend that anyone interested in my contend use Duck Duck Go as as a search engine. I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, and on my windows machine I have installed their official application. I use Sea monkey and Microsoft Edge for my website development only to ensure that sites I develop are accessible across all applications, many major web browsers have the Duck Duck Go extension, but it is not as effective as the Duck Duck Go stand alone App.
I also use duck.ai for sensitive research instead of Chat GPT , Copilot or Gemini this ensures that all chats with LLM models are completely anonymous, and no personal information is collected or stored. The metadata that contains identifiable information about the my device is removed before sending prompts to the model provider, and the chats are not used to train or improve models, which is a bonus for me because it makes my content unique and preserves my authenticity.
Together.ai, the model provider, has also agreed that no chats made via DuckDuckGo will be sent to Mistral AI, the original model trainer and my primary LLM model which I use when I conduct cyber security research. Chats are only sent, anonymously, to the model provider and not to any other third-party. I hope that this post will help my readers understand my approach and my intentions when sharing such content, and that it will encourage them to approach music from influencers with a large following with a critical eye as well.
