Who TF using Grok.

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Fascists. Why?

[–] standarduser@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Most of my workforce strangely enough. They claim it’s the best for them in terms of mathematics, but I can’t find that to be a good reason.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Note this is if you use their apps. Not the api. Not through another app.

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that we have any real info about who collects/uses what when you use the API

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah we do, they list it in privacy policies. Many of these they can't really collect even if they wanted to

Gemini: "Other Data"

Like, what's fucking left!?

The Broligarchy: "Everything."

Me: Squints Pours glowing demon tanning lotion on ground

Trump: "You dare dispute my rule?! And you would have these... mongrels... come here to die?"

Open Source Metaverse online. Launching Anti-StarLink missiles...

Warning. FOSS Metaverse alternative launch detected.

The Broligarchy: "This was not how it was supposed to be..."

Me: "Times change. But war, war never changes."

...

"We will never be slaves. But we WILL be online. For the Open Source Metaverse we deserve!"

Anyway, hopefully that's the real future in some sense. The metaverse is, technologically, in a state resembling 1995's World Wide Web. We can stop the changes that made social media happen the first time, but that comes at a grave cost of it's own... Zero tolerance for interference with the FOSS paradigm. This means no censorship even for the most vile of content, and no government authority over online activity ever again. It also means we have less than 150 years to become immortal because having children inherently puts kids at risk of sexual exploitation, so everyone - literally everyone - must be made infertile permanently to make that impossible.

Life extension is actually plausible, and omnispermicide would make denying it a war crime. That is the only fix I can see, but all of you would never pay it. That is why I stopped writing; every goddamn story and society at large championed "anti-escapism" in 2017 and onwards, and I will NEVER forgive you all for that. Fuck reality. I Have No Truth and I Must Dream. I want to die because I hate you all.

Wow, it’s a whole new level of f*cked up when Zuck collects more data than the Winnie the Pooh (DeepSeek). 😳

The idea that US apps are somehow better than Chinese apps when it comes to collecting and selling user data is complete utter propaganda.

[–] WreckingBANG@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who would have guessed that the advertising company collects a lot of data

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And I can't possibly imagine that Grok actually collects less than ChatGPT.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Data from surfshark aka nordvpn lol. Take it with a few chunks of salt

[–] Cris16228@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me when Gemini (aka google) collects more data than anyone else:

Not really shocked, we all know that google sucks

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I would hazard a guess that the only reason those others aren't as high is because they don't have the same access to data. It's not that they don't want to, they simply can't (yet).
