@atomicpoet They recently switched over to become more of a search engine if I recall.
Apparently, though, you are more well known than I am.
@majorlinux @atomicpoet It's got me. Accurate enough profile, so far as it goes.
It's a bit disturbing that it's apparently trawled everything I've ever posted, but I'm hardly surprised.
@ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux @atomicpoet That's what I want it to do when I'm asking it a question right? Do the search for me (guessing it's using Bing because of the more accessible API), and summarize the results. LLMs are relatively good at such a task.
@Schouten_B @majorlinux @atomicpoet Lots of folks didn't give their explicit consent to be indexed by search engines, whether traditional or "AI"-powered. They just don't want that, full stop.
No-one is judging you for not caring. You do you! But there are potential safeguarding and consent issues here that are of concern to some other people.
@ApostateEnglishman @Schouten_B @majorlinux @atomicpoet
I judge them for not caring, it's exactly those kinds of people who just "shrugg" are what has made the surveillance states we live in possible (surveillance being an integral component to the rise of fascism). I judge them pretty harshly.
@contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux @atomicpoet I would say it's more the very concept of social media itself that makes that possible. A channel through which anyone can spread any lie they want to a bunch of idiots. Who can meanwhile lock themselves into bubbles surviving on falsehood after falsehood.
This is a bad idea. Look at a random day of things trending on Mastodon and how much of it is factually wrong.
That's probably a bigger risk than privacy (but people should do better)
@Schouten_B @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux @atomicpoet Your attempt to downplay the risk to privacy you pose and distract people by trying to point a finger and blame something else is pathetic. Stick a fork in it, Firefox is done. I wonder how much money you've made from Google to tank Firefox. Collaborator.
@OdinVex @Schouten_B @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux @atomicpoet Write your own system then? And stop attacking people doing good in the world.
@Dss @Schouten_B @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux @atomicpoet Doing good? Fake privacy and simping for Google isn't "doing good".
@OdinVex @Dss @Schouten_B @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux Dude, you’re on universeodon – a server that got lots of blowback on the Fediverse because the admin met with Meta to discuss Fediverse integration with Threads.
So if you’re going to be all purist about this, perhaps use a different server.
Be that as it may, I’m politely asking you to be kind to others.
@atomicpoet @Dss @Schouten_B @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux "Firefox, we care about your privacy, just ignore us while we implement an API to provide Meta with more info..." Then get told by a Moz they care about privacy? Downright *disinformation*. I care about mine and everyone else's right to privacy, worldwide, I don't see calling them about that out as unkind or unpolite. But fine, digressing from the conversations.
@OdinVex @atomicpoet @Dss @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux Which API are you talking about that 'gives meta more data'?
@Schouten_B @atomicpoet @Dss @contrasocial @ApostateEnglishman @majorlinux *IPA/PPA, a flat-out sick joke being called that. PPA/IPA same thing.

From Mozilla, of all people. Blatant. Read that, it's a blatant suck-off of advertising giant Meta. Entrenching it in W3C, even it's becoming enshittified. Firefox's beginning to look and function like an Idiocracy television.
