"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.

And, of course, we know that once one company uses those chats, it becomes literally impossible for anyone else to use them.

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

No thanks, this pic gets me great enough results as it is.

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.

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

This reminds me that the 'Instructions unclear' jokes are now actually a reality thanks to LLMs.

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

lol i wasn't aware he was actually straight

[-] slopjockey@awful.systems 27 points 1 month ago

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

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 24 points 1 month ago

can we declare him straight anyway

[-] mirrorwitch@awful.systems 23 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 9 points 1 month ago

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

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

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

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.

Today in "Fuck this timeline, get me out of this universe, please!" 🫠

OK I've got it right! we do DRM, right, but for condoms

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

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

I don't think "going to a random place the algorithm told you to and having sex with whoever else is there" is nearly as common a fetish as it would have to be for this to be anything approaching a viable concept.

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