    “Accused of”?

    That’s how this stuff works. That’s its purpose. Google is a data broker, as is most of Big Tech.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Lol. Your mom is accused of handing over your intimate personal information to your dad and grandma.
