"Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them. "

The richer the person, the most likely they are to believe that crap!

It's the Jesus Christ of the CEOs

@rysiek

I am perplexed that he expected a different response.

@rysiek But people will just download and start using this spyware-by-design browser 🤮

@rysiek@mstdn.social "We told you we wouldn't let Google track you, because we want to do all that tracking ourselves. ...Why are you looking at me like that?"

@rysiek techbros really are the perpetual motion machine of stupidity.

@rysiek no bewilderment shown by this person would be authentic. His job is to read the room and he absolutely knows better. My message to him is, "do better, asshole."

@rysiek Fuck that guy! And all the other AI parasite assholes!

@rysiek
"Why do you have such big eyes, grandmother?"
"To better serve your interest, child."

@rysiek ha ha. "So we better understand you" is corporate speak for "So we better monetize you." Targeted ads are nothing new, but they must think we are really dumb not to notice.

@rysiek So he didn't run his statements through PerplexityMarketAing to check for public reception?

@rysiek I was thinking about maybe getting a new phone as my current one is nearly 5 years old now and stuck on Android 12. was considering a Motorola Razr, but they just lost a sale after reading that article

"We've partnered with Motorola to put our AI shit on their phones"

oh really? that's a no from me, then

@rysiek I just rubbed it on my ass. Let’s see it it try’s to sell me TP

@rysiek

Plonker!

@rysiek I don't understand, isn't the criticism extremely relevant to his interests, as we tailored it to him using his statements? Why wouldn't he appreciate that?

@rysiek I'm surprised anyone at the top of the "pretend LLMs are AI" scam is bothering to pretend anymore. I thought they had reached the point were they just crime right out in the open with the assumption no one can do anything about it.

@rysiek All this tracking should be outlawed.

@rysiek

The fact he can be so blatant with this truly highlights how ripped we all are on the street level shit we've been injecting from these guys.

HAF, all of us.

@rysiek thanks for sharing

@rysiek ffs 🤦

@rysiek if he wants to get to know me, buy me dinner and ask questions.

@rysiek Stalking 2.0 ? Wot the hey. Where have I signed?

@rysiek Fuck that guy.

@rysiek You forgot to post the link where we can read about this CEO being "annoyed".

@rysiek 😐

@rysiek META will train AI Jake on 20 years of your Facebook posts and be able to sell you anything. META is a database. The product for sale is you.

@rysiek

Sounds like he forgot to ask #CLAUDE what 50+ tracking signals #Google already gets out of Chrome. What, don't trust your own Moloch ?

@rysiek @euneuber I hope he gets hit by a self driving car.

@rysiek
I can provide them with the only thing about me they need to tailor my ads -
I don't want any. None. The less intrusive and out of my way they are, the better. I don't need anything targeted at me. I know what I need and what I want to purchase.

@rysiek why do these companies continue to think that people want "relevant" or "personalized" ads?

@rysiek Fuck him... and everyone implied with "ai" tech close or far...

@rysiek Ads are invasive and annoying. Making them more personalized doesn't reduce that at all. Ads are part of the enshittification problem. The only correct amount of ads is zero.

@rysiek That’s enough to make me try to use NCSA Mosaic again.
And I almost had my hopes up until…
