[crazy][wrong] Considering Deploying a Man in the Middle Attack on a Victim

[Karl]

I'll be the victim.

This idiot Karl is messing the internet all up with his derogatory speech.
Let's make the world a better place by filtering everything he says so that
it's nice!

Luckily I am Karl, so I will be able to figure out what the heck is going
on in my life, by being the person causing the problem.  I really do have a
problem with posting crazy things to mailing lists on the internet, so it
would be pretty nice if some completely transparent system that I am in
complete control of, would mutate anything rude or harmful I might say to
be nice, so that I don't make enemies during psychotic breaks.

Deploying a mitm attack on the stupid idiot typing this email is a
challenge.  There are a few difficult parts:
- writing code to mutate packets live without disrupting network sessions
- figuring out and implementing a workaround to SSL if the guy uses it
- training a language model to mutate his speech in the desired manner

This idea seems _so incredibly cool_ to me, that I have actually already
started step #3 in a tiny, microscopic, nonexistent manner.

https://vast.ai/ is a service that provides brief access to high-end
machines for training transformer models to make deepfakes and such.
