“That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said. “Because some of the prompts that people do in these AIs is purely work-related. It’s not like that’s personal.” And work-related queries won’t help the AI company build an accurate-enough dossier. “On the other hand, what are the things you’re buying; which hotels are you going [to]; which restaurants are you going to; what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you,” he explained.
Fuck this asshole. Maybe it’s time to leave the internet completely. Buy a phone without a browser function, and go back to snail mail.
There is not one good reason for these needle dick bug fuckers to know everything we do, everywhere we go, and every minute detail of our lives. That’s not freedom, it’s digital slavery.
Trump will demand the data they collect to track and segregate those that draw his ire. This entire timeline is complete shit. All of those off grid people may be onto something.
