Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Covert conversion therapy by setting you up with the absolute worst humanity has to offer.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it's fairly obvious that the people writing them don't spend time in grocery stores? I'm getting that same impression here.

this is just zizek's perfect date but gay and with chatbots

Grindr has been used to out people everywhere from Palestine to Egypt to Chechnya to America, so training a chaotic, insecure LLM on user data seems like the privacy disaster from hell.

App that is plagued by bot accounts thinks that adding more bot-nature will improve quality

Every dating app is full of bots and dead accounts. Comes with the territory.

A bot unable to perform inference? Absolutely tracks.

so I was digging into your post history to see if you’re just like this all the time, but you saved me the time of having to wade through the rest of your shit:

It’s shit like this that discourages from ever running any sort of service that interacts with the general public. I’m already exhausted by the sheer grinding tedium of the amount of visible tone policing on the internet, and it somehow never occurred to me that it was just the tip of some vast beige fatberg clogging up all the pipes.

Anyway, thank you for hiding the awful realities from the rest of us o7

[–] Ifera@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oh for FUCKS SAKE do not let AI in the way of my GENITALS

Citizen, the computer has removed the need for the pounding sodomy, are you not delighted

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I am delighted! For I won the victory over myself! I fuck Big Brother 🤡🤪🍆✨🐽🎉

"if we don’t do it, someone else will"

Ohh yes, if Grindr doesn't feed Grindr users's chats, which only the users involved and possibly Grindr itself are presumably privy to, to an LLM, someone else will.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I mean other apps are already doing it so he's right

[–] slopjockey@awful.systems 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It's an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there's a profile flag you can set that literally says "yes please, send me NSFW pics". You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lol i wasn't aware he was actually straight

[–] slopjockey@awful.systems 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Actually I was wrong, the guy is gay and married. But he IS a trumper, so I probably got mixed up.

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

can we declare him straight anyway

[–] mirrorwitch@awful.systems 1 points 2 months ago

The representative of the fascist party in Germany says she's "lesbian but not queer". I think it's the same case.
