You might think explicit images are private, but facial recognition software could enable an employer to identify you.
Sure, you place that bet under a pseudonym, but is your screen name similar to one you've used in the past?
It would be slow and expensive to pay somebody to go through an applicant's old tweets and their Reddit posts and their long-forgotten MySpace page and so on.
But now for about $30, an AI screening tool like Ferretly can cross-reference information on dozens of platforms and do it very quickly.
There are more places to leave compromising breadcrumbs on the internet, with the rise of adult content platforms like OnlyFans and prediction markets like Kalshi and PolyMarket.

Privacy specialists say it's possible to be anonymous online if you're really careful, but it's a lot easier to slip up.
The good news is you can use AI defensively, too.
You can prompt Gemini or ChatGPT to dig into your own digital past and see what comes up.
Then at least you'll have an idea of which privacy settings you should change and what old photos you might want to take down.
Nobody is impressed by your GPA.
You put up good grades in college, congratulations, well done.
The trouble is that good grades have always been a dubious predictor of professional success, and that may be truer than ever for a couple of reasons.
Number one, you were schooled at a time of widespread grade inflation, and two, that coincided with the advent of these AI shortcuts that colleges are really struggling to police.
I mean, we just saw Princeton revise its century-plus-year-old honor code to require exam proctors because the temptation to cheat is just so hard to resist.
Now, this isn't entirely your fault, but the reality is that hiring managers just don't know how to judge the significance of a 4.0 or a high GPA anymore.
So better to just leave that to the side and think about having to prove yourself all over again.
So that can mean posting an open role on some lesser-known job board instead of LinkedIn or Indeed.
Some companies are going back to very thorough personal references.
