Mass surveillance system? Yes, of course. That's the whole point. Tracking and profiling you to charge more for ads.

Lmao these smart TVs are basically the screens in the book 1984, in every house.

Hmm stunned disbelief, I tell ya. How on earth did anyone ever think this could happen, big corpo putting ads inside the most hyper targeted machine the world has ever seen. How could they ever decide to do this

If any of you dumb fucks don't think we already live in a surveillance state, you are part of the problem

...and do they sell data, including video, to law enforcement and insurance?

Sincerely, A person who recently was in a fender bender and was not surprised at all when Progressive shared "incident footage" from a Ring camera across the street at a location completely unrelated to the fender bender

(They ARE selling your data, folks. NEVER trust big tech to act in your best interest)

Lol they've already announced funding (or intent to fund?) for reviving coal mining

OpenAI said in a blog post that the product results it surfaces are “organic and unsponsored, ranked purely on relevance to the user,” and that it will charge merchants a “small fee” for completed purchases.

...for now. Remember the free open promise of the 1990s/2000s internet? This will get enshittified the same way, but faster. Once OpenAI corners it, I confidently promise they will jack prices wayyy up and monopolize it just like any other corpo.

DuckDuckGo browser my friend. The "Duck Player" feature plays YT videos in-browser without ads or other tracking

Brooch and mooch.

But, aren't these the same sounds as boot / proof / boost etc.?

"Has been determined"

Lmao by who? Based on what inputs? I think we all know the answers
