Sad to think there will be real people who are fine with the privacy invasive spyware
my ex fiance loved personalized ads because that’s how she found out about products she wanted and i was like… but you didn’t want it before you knew it existed. you were just living your life perfectly fine and now you’re $20 poorer
You obviously need a privacy-conscious fiance
my new one is much wiser

Hell to the absolute fuckin’ no.
Fuck Chrome anyways
It’s still the most widely used browser, even if it doesn’t individually effect you doesn’t mean it’s not bad
Chrome is already pretty close to this. People still using it are a mystery to me as it is.
There’s also Chrome-derivatives and Chromium and whether those could excise the AI spyware and how deep that gets embedded into it.
That’s been a problem all along and one reason why I’ve never advised chrome alternatives unless someone is demanding to use Chrome over anything else. Firefox and probably 50 different forks of it would be superior in every way, and then maybe… Opera? I don’t even know anymore. Firefox is the only one holding things together.
Blip. Just like that, they are dead to me. I know our society has decided super invasive data collection for ads is okay… I’ve decided that is another part of the social contract we need to revisit. With prejudice.
never mind about accepting the things we cannot change, it’s time to start changing the things we cannot accept
I still haven’t come down to terms with ads being accepted

Nah, I won’t give them my clicks, nor my data.
Nor my axe!
capitalism inspiring innovation right before our eyes.
Even by CEO standards, why would you state that out loud?
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
He’s so out of touch that he believes their users are going to be excited by this.
“That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said. “Because some of the prompts that people do in these AIs is purely work-related. It’s not like that’s personal.”
And work-related queries won’t help the AI company build an accurate-enough dossier.
“On the other hand, what are the things you’re buying; which hotels are you going [to]; which restaurants are you going to; what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you,” he explained.
The personal integrity of others is a concept completely lost on this person, it seems.

If you have no integrity yourself, it’s hard to understand that others do.
The message is aimed at his customers (ie. his advertisers), not for the potential users of the browser.
Obviously, but it’s still not something you want getting out. Like you’d tell your clients at a vendor dinner but wouldn’t put it in an email or video conference.
Maybe he’s really drank the kool aid and ACTUALLY thinks people want ads and no privacy. Which then, as an investor, might actually be a giant red flag that he’s a complete imbecile.
Well im definitely not gonna use it then. It’s also apparently being built on top of Chromium so its not like its a brand new browser engine or anything. I wonder if they even had human programmers work on it, or just let their own AI churn out some slop for them.
Firefox forks and uBlock Origin all day.

I want to say a thing that I want to happen to this ceo but it would get me banned.
Just say “I wish for this man, his ideas and his life work to slide into disregard and irrelevance and become nothing more than a footnote on idiocy”.
“Also, may he be abducted by aliens, whisked away to a distant galaxy, and put on permanent display in an alien zoo as an example of the greed of homo sapiens.”
And give him free atention? Nah.
Do you think this guy would avoid saying a thing? No, he’d come right out and tell you if he wanted you dead. As long as he could provide your with personalised ads in the afterlife.

Sent to the glue factory?

For the last time I don’t want Jenna Haze shower curtains!!!
That’s not what the restraining order says.
“Does Jenna Haze still have a restraining order on me”
Damnit! More naked pictures!

Neat. Can we have access to everything he does online?
“Nobody liked that.”
Oh fuck right off, you ghoul.
