Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.

Can anybody tell me if there’s a way to tell chatGPT to fuck off and stop scraping my data?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stop posting shit on the internet?

Of course! Why didn’t I think of that 30 years ago?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It depends on what data do you believe chatgpt is scraping. What data are you worried about in particular and where do you live? (these info are needed to give you suggestions in case)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not worried specifically. I’m worried my interests and text from the past will be leveraged against me if and when I am forced to interact with a ChatBot. Assuming there’s a rich profile that has everything from eye tracking in Vr, wearables, YouTube, Facebook, twitter history/interests etc. I don’t want have a fucking team of psychologists with a detailed profile along with fucking supercomputers attacking me with perfect and convincing communication trying to sell me shit and vote in particular ways of who ever is driving them.

Currently it can potentially scrape only from data you published that are directly linked to your name, such as Twitter conversations.

Post shared on Facebook and Instagram should be safe.

LinkedIn I am not sure, tbh.

Public blogs are a problem... But in general, it can access less data than a research engine.

If you are worried about your data and you are in Europe, you can use the "right to be forgotten", asking websites to remove your data. Outside of Europe, companies are not forced to do so, afaik, but many do it

Not really. Sites can block ChatGPT crawler, but for invidiual users whose data is stored on 3rd party sites is out of luck. You would need to ask those sites directly to remove your data so that ChatGPT would have nothing to scrape.

How disturbingly distopian.

You can thank people indifference towards digital privacy for enabling this dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you noticed how the people who control the flow of information benefit the most from this indifference? Almost as if the amount of information about it isn’t in proportion to the severity of the subject.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Of course. Every serious issue we are facing links back to capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's not what dystopian means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did some research and I think you are leaning towards the “imaginary” part which I was unaware of. Although there are a number of definitions that do seem to fit the way I used it. From what I can tell it can be used for both. If you disagree please let me know 👍

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting. What does it mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Then why is it still giving me godot 3 code examples when I ask for godot 4 🤔
