A while back I made a little script (for fun/curiosity) that would do this for HN profiles. It’d use their submission and comment history to infer a profile including similar stuff like location, political leaning, career, age, sex, etc. Main motivation was seeing some surprising takes in various comment threads and being curious about where it might have came from. Obviously no idea how accurate the profiles were, but it was similarly an interesting experiment in the ability of LLMs to do this sort of thing.

I remember this. It was pretty accurate for myself, if a little saccharine (i.e., it said I was going to save the world, or some such).
