@catsalad @ShadowJonathan That guy looks like the most techbro any techbro has ever techbro'd.

@ainmosni @catsalad @ShadowJonathan reading what the techbro said makes me perplexed (pun fully intended). Why would anyone in their right mind want their browser to know all about them?

"right mind" refers to his political orientation, I guess 🤷‍♂️

@catsalad @ShadowJonathan I had never heard of it before reading another version of this screenshot yesterday, and now I wish I never had. Fingers crossed the AI bubble will crash like the dot com bubble did and take these predatory companies with it.

From the article: [

“... 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.

Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.

What? No! If I have to see an advert, I want it to be irrelevant. If I have to see an advert, show me tampons or baby food or football souvenirs — things I'll never buy. Don't show me something interesting, because that'll distract me and, even worse, might tempt me to spend money I don't need to spend.

All adverts are bad, but targeted adverts are the worst of all.
