Brazil is a dictatorship in disguise. Supreme court is the executive branch. There is no law the court can do anything it wants, arrest anyone for any reason. There is no expiry date for their term.
As a Brazilian I can’t see a future where the people win. It’s not even close it’s full control and all of the power is concentrated in the government upper branch.
The system is designed to keep them in power there is nothing that can be done just leave the country
From the dialogues in the pictures it doesn’t sound like they are using anyones emails for training. The messaging indicates it’s more like using as context and/or generating embeddings for RAG. Unless there’s something else I’m not aware of.
I know that Google does a lot of bad stuff but we don’t need to make up stuff they just aren’t doing
This doomsday messaging an alarmism is only serves to degrade the whole cause
edit: and before someone say that they also don’t want that then let’s criticize it for what it is (opting users to feature without consent). We don’t need to make stuff up, it really doesn’t help.
I think it’s safe to say that by “We” we can assume it would be your country and its allies.
War and spying has been a thing for a long time now. I think it’s unreasonable to expect countries to not make use of their respective industries and enterprises to get an edge on each other.
The fact is that this kind of hardware is just very good for that so as I a costumer, I feel you and I think the best we can do is buy a custom hardware and install a custom OS. Like open-wrt.
But I will not complain of my country doing that because when I see adversaries doing it, it’s completely reasonable that it also do. In fact, game theory, mandates it.
Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? Of course this can happen. and not only I support it but I think they should do it more and use it to get a shot on any criminal or foreign power.
We can do it, but we shouldn’t expose ourselves for the possibility of our opponents doing it. That simple
We may joke about it, but the fact is that it's releasing dumb ideas like this that you sometimes get masterpieces. Maybe this one is really just one of the bad ones, but eventually Elon will have some good ones just like he already has.
And a lot of us would be better off releasing our dumb ideas too. The world has a lot of issues and if all you do is talk down and don't try to fix anything yourself. Maybe it's time to get off the web a little and do something else.
