Scam Altman
I’m probably not exempt despite never signing up for paid chatgpt. Still kind of shitty, and unsurprising.
No surprise really, that was always part of the deal. Google and Meta are relatively good buyers, if you consider that our data is also being sold to dark companies we’ve never heard of, or are difficult to trace back to their owners, or have hazy political involvement etc… Tech companies big or small will sell our data to whomever pays - see terms and conditions or whatever.
No, really? Fucktwits.
Who’s the bigger fool? The one handing over your personal information to Meta/Google, or the one giving it to OpenAI in the first place?

OpenAI, selling its users out while still not making a profit 🤣.
it came pre-enshittified, quelle surprise
They had most perfect business plan, buy hardware at massively inflated prices in order to provide a service that they sell for a loss to a customer base that doesn’t exist.
How did that not work out for them?
“Accused of”?
That’s how this stuff works. That’s its purpose. Google is a data broker, as is most of Big Tech.
I would have thought the personal data would flow in the opposite direction tbh
It flows in all directions
Much like the rancid toilet bowl it is.
was it you who was doing the inappropriate bathroom wall art?
Nooo?!! What? Who could have seen this coming? I’m shocked! /s
Thanks. I would never have picked up the sarcasm without the /s. :)
Just had an idea… what if federal agencies of governance, like FTC, FBI, NSA, … had (1) immediate leadership voted on during elections (2) protections from being removed by anyone other than public vote / impeachment, (3) funding guarantees by ensuring all approved funds go through independent, highly secured processes. The administration shouldn’t be able to take control of agencies or defund ones they can’t. Better, we should be able to control their priorities — via control of their leadership. Maybe in such a world, we could already be prosecuting CEOs.
If that’s how they learn not to share intimate and personal data with the billionaires, then that’s how they learn.
I’m not surprised there are stupid and gullible people in the world. But, I am scared about how many there seem to be, now. Also, I was just reading /r/teachers wherein a teacher told a story about a 15-year-old who didn’t understand how Leonardo DiCaprio could be in Romeo and Juliette because the play was written 500 years ago. Just clueless. If you want to remain optimistic about our future, do NOT read /r/teachers.

Let’s not engage in blaming the victims.
There’s no reason to treat the behavior of these corporations as if it were normal and inevitable, like they were a force of nature or something. Put all the blame where it belongs, on the people running these companies.
Yeah, nope! That would have been a good and fair argument 10 or 15 years ago. But today, these ‘victims’ are volunteers. The information is out there, multiple times per day. In my country we say something that roughly translates to English as ‘if the river sounds, water is running’.
The noise is there, has been for over a decade. If they choose to remain ignorant and not even try to find out what all the noise is about, that’s on them. And if they do go after the noise to not be caught unaware, and still keep giving out everything to big tech, even worse.
Having said that, it’s not ‘victim blaming’ when the ‘victim’ is guilty.
I’m sorry, but what?
If I give you my page and tell you to enter your credit card details in, why would you do it?
Why do people need to tell everything to the agreeing website?

Because I’m paying for something?

I don’t know, it’s probably circumstantial.
Probably a lot of the data being shared is from chats, but not necessarily all of it. We know that OpenAI scrapes the Internet at large for training data, which would include data sets of publicly leaked PII (such as the OPM breach). It’s entirely possible that the data OpenAI is sharing about users was not given to them voluntarily by those users, but has simply been aggregated, analyzed and correlated by their AI tools.
If it’s public, it’s a given that Facebook and Google has all of that on you already.
It’s almost a decade since Zucc said in front of congress that they do shadow profiles, LLMs are not going to change that.
What I do worry about is all personal stuff people overshare to the LLMs. From health, mental to financial and other secrets.
Lol. Your mom is accused of handing over your intimate personal information to your dad and grandma.
Day drinking?
Kash secret lemme account
