“Yeah, hi, I have a gdpr request, all the data you have on me, delete that.”
We sold it to a third party you’ll never find that shares it back to us for free as part of the contract we have with them.
So we don’t have any of your data.
“Yeah, OK, done, (LOL)!”
update users set deleted = 1 where username = jagermodoes anyone truly believe they respect those delete requests?
Not the US-based companies, no. But occasionally they get some interesting fines when breaching GDPR, and that does seem to cause some adherence. I’m just happy to live in EU.
Add “make no mistake” at the back willil increase the chance they follow through your delete request.
Probably more business suit guys talking about stuff they don’t understand. They probably imagine “AI” as some unlimited resource that they can command any amount of tasks from, but the scale they are fantasizing about doesn’t seem realistic to me
Yeah it’s Y Combinator. It’s probably from a young and dynamic entrepreneur who has already revolutionized the javascript landscape by introducing and accelerating a completely new and revolutionary package to deal with emojis at scale (and Knuckles). They definitely know about compitars.
Could work for surveilling business customers.
“Yes, we call it the ‘Agentic System Surveillance Holistic Observation Leveraging Enterprise’, or ASSHOLE for short”
They took »know your customer« and somehow arrived at »assign them a tireless digital stalker.« The founder says there’s no need to inform anyone because it’s legal, which is a fascinating way to announce that ethics has been laid off and its job outsourced to the legal department. Peak Silicon Valley: replacing customer relationships with the CIA, the Customer Intelligence Agents.
Never will happen. This is another engineers dream. It’s simply way too costly to burn tokens for every customer.
Yeah, how is this not harassment?
At least in the states, the population gave up their expectation of privacy in the name of security and convenience, a long time ago.
You think this will just be for Americans?

A whole agent? If I find a company doing this, I’ll use BeautifulSoup on a spare computer to click around their website randomly 24/7. They’ll end up with a comically high bill for a few hours of effort on my part. Might even make it a Docker container.
It’s going to be Shopify, to start.
Uh, can you elaborate on this beautifulsoup on a spare computer? High bill for what?
BeautifulSoup is a Python library that allows interacting with webpages inside a program. The high bill would be for having the LLM agent analyze all of the random clicks that I’d be having my Python program make.
Thanks for the reply I will look into this.
Could one be criminally charged for this if one didn’t cover their tracks, out of curiosity? Obviously one would want to do this anonymously or not at all just curious.
It’s not too different from the web scraping that companies have been doing for 30+ years or the LLM training that happens at an insane scale. It’s just intentionally poorly done so that it wastes LLM resources trying to analyze it. Fundamentally, you’re just making a program that clicks links a lot. I don’t see how you could even be successfully civilly penalized for it, let alone criminally, but I’m also not a lawyer.
Dystopia. Sold to us as a cute solution to problems we don’t have.
These asshats can’t make a good product anymore even with all the data in the world.
Look at Netflix trying to game art by including superficialities in their productions to appeal to niche audiences.
That’s what the data centers are for. Makes sense. A lot of people times a lot of companies equals insane compute power.
But then they’ll notice it costs a shitton of money, and downgrade the LLM to Luna, and then not actually learn anything that Amazon, Meta and Google don’t already know anyway.
And it still costs a shitkilo or money.
“The whole surveillance component came up because that’s the way we feel companies can serve their customers,” Earle told Futurism in an interview.
I hate it here. Is that it? Is that really what you think, Earle? Fucking moron. We need to start punishing these CEOs, harass them anytime they are out, make being a little freak piece of shit like this miserable.
And every customer will have own agent to corrupt and obfuscate their every move for watcher. 10 years after someone realize that we are burning a huge amount of computational resources for this totally redundant “agnets-in-middle” and European Commission restricts such a practices.
just a reminder that there are tools available that allow you to poison that stream of data.
"Will soon… "?
You’re a couple years late to the party, pal.
But now it knows.

It’s the latest keyword in the latest corporate drivel!!! BUZZ!!!
:sigh:
Of course companies collect data about their customers and try to use it. This is nothing new.
Thanks, I hate it.
