because we all can agree child porn is bad and just because a company donates to a charity doesn't mean they get to dictate their policies

there is no cloud, it's always someone else's computer, so technically someone who is physically in google/apple datacenter at the exact moment your data is being operated on, hypothetically would have a chance to steal your data.

saying that because google owns the hardware, they would quietly not delete or copy your data is quite a wild accusation.n

pardon my ignorance, but why does compute hardware pose any security concerns?

From the information presented, the privacy case is not that your data is only accessible to you (which arguably can have a backdoor) but that the data is NOT stored at all, so it's not possible to build a backdoor. I know there are probably other ways around it, but it's my understanding is that no data is kept on any server when the response is sent back to your device

well, name an example of a thing that can never change then.

"research alternatives" meaning what exactly? You think open source is somehow not susceptible to the same issue, plus all of the malicious updates?

by your definition, what is marketing then?

it included flights, hotels, food and travel expenses for 9000 for multiple days, as well as the "party". US-based travel for 1 person for 5 days is easily 4K, on top of that some people were probably international so it would be higher, and on top of that there are the "party" expenses like venue and catering which probably wasn't that significant.

it's a very simplistic take. the issue with ChatGPT is that it speaks with authority, vs webMD and such just provide information. to say that how the information is presented is irrelevant to the outcomes is reductionist at best

do you genuinely think that numerous meetups isn't a marketing push?

I mean, do you think no one at OAI and every other lab has vibe-coded some agentic demo? The problem (?) is that when you work at a corporate job you have to think about security.

It was killer compared to alternatives. All other "homepages" of the internet were the cluttered mess of ads.

I feel like we are arguing semantics though. But IMO any UI that does the job that consumers want well is good UI. Just because it was simple doesn't mean it wasn't good

google search did have a killer UI though, you might be forgetting what search looked like before google

I am this person (not a genius or whatever) but work is absolutely life for me. I still absolutely resent the 996 culture and would never do that. I'd like to have agency when I want to abuse myself

look if you don't care about privacy, just buy a google phone
