Do all these dickheads go to a school to learn the same specific hand gestures?

Wow! I’ve always wanted a browser that would track everything about me! /s
In other news, Perplexity has signed a deal with Motorola to have the browser preinstalled on their phones.
What a stupid name for a company.
I appreciate him saying it upfront. Makes it easy to stay away from all of their products.
That’s like a cigarette brand marketing themselves as the most cancer-causing.
Dumb and dumber will love it, ts,ts,ts. Some nerds…
When using my current browser, any guess as to how often I’ve said to myself “I need a browser that spies on me more”?
Beep boop, this is your browser speaking. You have stated that you need a browser that spies on you more one (1) times.
And people would voluntarily use this browser …why?
Weirder things have happened. Like people using Brave voluntarily.
Hey, look for that browser to fail instantly as no one will use it.
Can’t sell reams and reams of customer data if you don’t have any customers.

Where is the hacktivism when you need it? These companies need to be gutted from the inside out.
Begin, the AI wars have.
Haha…I can see this guy saying out loud to his friends…“and while everyone else is moving towards privacy I’ll do the exact opposite, but to the extreme. Don’t look at me like that Kyle, I’ve already sold my soul. We’re gonna be so rich.”
These fuckers are just so delusional and out of touch with reality. Personalized ads my ass. We’ve been promised those for decades but pretty much all the ads I see on YouTube are from major retail chains with precisely zero relevance to me. They will show the ads of whoever pays for them. Your personal preferences are only relevant when it comes to targeting you with political propaganda.
I don’t fucking want personalized ads no matter how relevant they are to me. I only have so much money to buy stupid materialistic bullshit and once that’s gone all an ad can do is make me want something I can’t have. Ads are just trying to make you discontent.
They just want you to spend more money in a failed attempt to be happier adding complexity to my life when I’d rather just be content with simplicity. And they work really fucking well on my wife. I automatically distrust anything someone is paying money to show me.
I hate when people post hyperpartisan reporting because it makes me do homework. In this case, you made me listen to almost an hour of a three hour podcast with three techbros chatting about techbro crap in techbro ways. You owe me years of life.
Anyway, so the conspicuously missing context here is he’s asked if they will let go of the subscription model and go after an ad business model instead and he responds “hopefully not” and clarifies that he thinks the AI differentiator from Google search is that it doesn’t feed people ads.
He then transitions into saying that you’d need a super hyperspecialized profile for it to make sense and then maybe it could work but they haven’t figured out long term memory well enough for that, which is when he talks about why they’d want to have a browser to build that hyperspecialized profile.
This is my least favorite type of misinfo, too, because he’s actually kinda saying what they say he’s saying, just out of context. But more importantly, because he says some other shit that is more outrageous, too. For example, when explaining why he thinks the subscription business will grow more than the ad business the way he puts it is that “people see it as hiring someone”, so they’re more willing to spend, and he ponders “how much do people pay for personal assistants and assistant managers and nannies?” and suggests that they’ll provide similar services for cheaper to people who can’t afford human help.
Which may not be as clickbaity and I get he finds it positive-on-the-aggregate, but is certainly some cyberpunk dystopia stuff that didn’t need the out of context quoting to be a thing.
Thanks for you sacrifice and service (it does sound like, but it is NOT sarcastic)
