trump is literally issuing sanctions on his own citizens and they applaud him for it. i don’t think sanctions will work here 🤷‍♂️

ffs

In the marketing materials and demonstrations of Atlas, OpenAI’s team describes the browser as being able to be your “agent”, performing tasks on your behalf.

But in reality, you are the agent for ChatGPT.

During setup, Atlas pushes very aggressively for you to turn on “memories” (where it tracks and stores everything you do and uses it to train an AI model about you) and to enable “Ask ChatGPT” on any website, where it’s following along with you as you browse the web. By keeping the ChatGPT sidebar open while you browse, and giving it permission to look over your shoulder, OpenAI can suddenly access all kinds of things on the internet that they could never get to on their own.

Those Google Docs files that your boss said to keep confidential. The things you type into a Facebook comment box but never hit “send” on. Exactly which ex’s Instagram you were creeping on. How much time you spent comparing different pairs of shoes during your lunch hour. All of those things would never show up in ChatGPT’s regular method of grabbing content off the internet. Even Google wouldn’t have access to that kind of data when you use their Chrome browser, and certainly not in a way that was connected to your actual identity.

But by acting as ChatGPT’s agent, you can hold open the door so that the AI can now see and access all kinds of data it could never get to on its own. As publishers and content owners start to put up more effective ways of blocking the AI platforms from exploiting their content without consent, having users act as agents on behalf of ChatGPT lets them get around these systems, because site owners are never going to block their actual audience.

And while ChatGPT is following you around, it can create a complete and comprehensive surveillance profile of you — your personality, your behaviors, your private documents, your unfinished thoughts, how long you lingered on that one page before hitting the back button — at a level that the search companies and social networks of the last generation couldn’t even dream of. We went from worrying about being tracked by cookies to letting an AI company control our web browser and watch everything we do. The amount of data they’re gathering is unfathomable.

i have to insist on the fact that they don’t prescribe glasses to people who see fine without them, but you do you and good luck.

people who see fine without them usually don’t get prescribed glasses. just find ones that fits you, your vision is more important than what some clown on the street might think.

You would rather not see? Time to talk to a therapist.

i suspect slahdot people are quite happy in their bubble there without the facebook and other users…

yeah, we should really expect more from… checks notes… “global media platform, market research agency, and service that connects talents with hiring companies” 😂

of course it does. nasa pays the bills and they are the ones who say “we will hire or fire people, because we do or do not have money”. management from caltech says “ok, these are the people who have expertise we need”.

you don’t think they are giving money to someone and that someone does whatever they want with these money, do you?

but my point still stands;

yeah, i don’t think it does.

It sounds like AI slop

what makes you say that? 😂

This modern solution offers an unparalleled experience

it’s not your memories which define you

it is your behaviour what defines you and if you lose the memories, it will affect the behaviour, so i am inclined to say yes, you are different person then.

it is similar to when you lose a loved one to a cult, be it maga or some religious cult. they are no longer the same person. you want to get back the person they were before, but right now, even if you kidnap them and lock them in your basement, they are not the same person.

or imagine some scifi future, where we have mastered the ability to transfer your consciousness into another body.

your spouse died, and they use their body as a vehicle for some other person, who suffered terrible accident, got hit by a train and only body part that survived was their head. after emergency surgery, their consciousness is now in your former spouse’s body. is that still your spouse? no, it is the other person.

as a very minimum, it would make sense to demand safe-deleting the photo immediately after the verification process, with fucking prison time to someone if it is found they did not comply with that.

but that is clearly not the direction the society is going 🤷‍♂️

yeah, except according to my understanding of the topic, there is not much adult alternatives. graphene will have the same problem.

yes, they are. it says so in the criminal code. they are also fucking cunts.

I don’t like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.

premeditatedly doing bad thing = bad person
