Jesus Christ dude, is reposting this one article your job?

It’s platforms are not crumbling; more and more people continue to use it. As long as that’s true the abuses will continue.
This is how you know that the proletariat are doomed.
It's widely known that Musk and Zuck are horrible people, and that there platforms are doing horrible things, yet how many people, IRL, have given up Facebook, Instagram, or twitter?
They don't even feign ignorance of it. They are and knowingly bending over for the enemy, then let their kids bend over for them too.
It's sickening. It's literally the billionaires and the propaganda machine in their pockets. They can't even give that up.
Same too for reddit. Fucking Spez wants so badly to be in the inner circle, it's secondhand embarrassing.
Fuck how many people are still TikToking? God damn formula releases more dopamine than fucking crack cocaine, and they put their kids in front of it.
Of all the companies to offer an AI assistant, Meta? Really‽
Meta, darling... You built your reputation around invading people's privacy, then selling it. You're literally the worst possible candidate for anyone to trust with being their AI assistant.
Stick with improving open source models like Llama and maybe—just maybe—you can offer a hosted Llama service of some kind as long as it's a paid option with guarantees about privacy. If it's free, we all know what that means. Please don't go there.
You sell ads—not based on anything innocuous like "what the user just searched for" or "what they're currently chatting about", but based on intimate dossiers you've built up about people that are more detailed than what Nazi Germany kept on people they decided were enemies of the state.
I know your executive are thinking, "with this much private info about people, we can give them much more personalized chat responses!" But the truth is no one wants that.
It's already creepy enough that Facebook and Instagram will show ads based on what people were talking about near their phones, and you want to start passing that level of privacy invasion to an LLM‽ It's going to recommend married people sign up for dating services, get divorces, put silicone lube "w/PTFE" on pizza (because you have data in their profile saying they just ordered some of that), and similar wildly inappropriate suggestions/responses.
Chat bots should know topics. Not you.
This is actually a terrible article.
"I gave the AI all my information and now it knows everything about me! That's so scary!".
It turns out when you link your amazon and google accounts to the hungry hippo, it will eat all your data. What a surprise.
These things are the cognitive equivalent of superbright 12 years old. Would you give a 12yo unsupervised access to your wallet and bank account?
