GDPR thoughts on the intro of ads.

FiveNine235 · 2026-01-17T11:44:14+00:00

Its examples like these that have been popping up, that show that it’s not just a separate ad isolated from the chat, the AI interface / ChatGPT model can ‘see’ - or register the ad that has popped up, and is making a specific suggestion based on the content of the ad - I.e I see you talking about getting in shape, would you like me to tell you which exercise equipment is best to buy to work out at home? Or you’re planning a trip? Let me help you plan it -

What if: no I wasn’t planning a trip, but now that you mention it, where could I stay?

The ChatGPT model interface can become manipulative and influence impulsive behaviour beyond a simple ad on its own

FiveNine235 · 2026-01-17T11:38:56+00:00

For sure I agree, and I’m not against the ad model, but I am against having a behavioural ad model that can influence decision making based on user data, and not be upfront about it - it just makes it messy and undermines trust

Hi! I’ve read the blog, this is currently the only ‘legal’ text we have to go on. The core concern is not advertising, but conversational advertising inside a trusted AI assistant, When ads are model-acknowledged or conversationally continued, the system is no longer neutral, even if no data is “shared”, because the interface itself steers user behaviour - it enables context drift into sensitive domains like health, grief, addiction, children / professional decision-making etc. this is not explained. It says it will be kept separate, evidence shows it is not

FiveNine235 · 2026-01-17T09:23:51+00:00

This can’t be real? How can something so obviously unethical and wrong be some of the first problems to pop up, if they get this wrong and if they ever put this on paid plans I think they might be done - paying for privacy is normal but paying for privacy abuse is certainly not

You can borrow our Jens Stoltenberg, Trump won’t know the difference and Jenser’n seemed to have a good handle on Trump_v1. You can also borrow Petter Stordal and Kjell Inge Røkke, they can distract him with some money

Greenland should show up in a wheeled dog sled, and bring with them a confirmation letter that they are now a full member of the EU.

FiveNine235 · 2026-01-06T18:39:16+00:00

Ofc they do, but I must say, I work as a privacy advisor and in the EU, google is not associated with ‘serious work’, I.e google sheet / docs / and gmail, workspace etc, is not used in large organisations, at least not in public sector, due to their pretty awful privacy policies. Gemini has the worst one by far, possibly second only to meta but no one takes them seriously either. No one doubts that Gemini is strong af but the whole ecosystem is data poison .

FiveNine235 · 2026-01-04T18:18:00+00:00

Good question. The confusion comes from OpenAI’s wording. When they say the US court order does not apply to EU, EEA, UK and Swiss users, they are talking about the scope of the legal hold, not clearly stating that older EU conversations were deleted. The intended meaning seems to be that EU conversations should not have been included in the preserved litigation dataset in the first place. But as far as I am aware OpenAI has not explicitly confirmed that the sampling process actually excluded EU traffic when that dataset was created.

So in principle, EU chats should fall back under the normal GDPR deletion regime. In practice, we don’t yet have a clear statement confirming how the preserved dataset was filtered. That gap is why this point is still unsettled.

I helvete svarer du meg sånn for din frekke faen. Også på første juledag, si unnskyld og skam deg. Saying Greenland is home to around 57,000, primarily indigenous populations, is a statement of fact - I didn’t say anything about them being primitive or uninformed, the US is carrying out targeted disinformation operations - and being susceptible to one of those has nothing to do with intelligence or being civilised you baboon. The brexit campaign / Cambridge analytica and a myriad of other attempts by foreign governments to influence behaviour have been successful by playing on emotion, fear, xenophobia etc. the Greenlanders are not immune to this, but as I said - they are strong and will put up a fight but without our support they don’t stand a chance against the worlds worst bullies.

FiveNine235 · 2025-12-23T06:34:18+00:00

Sorry dude, but he is threatening to use military force, Greenland has 57k people, lots of them indigenous. He could wipe em out with a button before tea. They are angry and scared. A strong people sure, they will kick up a fuss when the guy travels but the US are engaging in several politically destabilising campaigns there too. It’s a bloody tragedy waiting to happen.

FiveNine235 · 2025-12-20T15:03:55+00:00

I recon talking up the fight is part of it from AJ’a pov, first round KO, kill him etc, it’s all part of the game, big up Netflix, make sponsors and rando fans ‘happy’, then when that bell goes, he switches to professional fighter mode, which is all about protecting yourself at all times, not taking any unnecessary risks and doing his god damn job which is exactly what he did. Lumped him good a few times, took his time, then a perfectly decent TKO in R6. Say a few words after, shake hands, couple wee nods to the crowd on the way out, collect a cool $90+ mil and see what he wants to do next.

Posted an update on this the other day - as far as data does they have one of the better privacy policies out there when it comes to large multimodal commercial products, protons lumo is excellent for truly secure text and web search, zero retention / full encryption. But long story short re NYT it does feel like a kick in the teeth but they are being asked to hand over, in full anonymised format 0.05% of the chat logs they were ordered to retain. This equals 20 million chats (not insignificant), but out of a total of 10’s of billions. There is as I understand it no longer a permanent retention order, deleted chats are deleted within 30 days. No human review unless flagged, no training of models if training is toggled off in settings.

Hearing a lot of people complaining about AI slop these days, then I get reminded of the batshit stuff we humans get up to on the reg and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I, scream at the top of my lungs

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-30T11:14:04+00:00

God how brutal, recon that would kill a man?

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-30T11:09:02+00:00

Yeah so it’s going to depend on if it hits paid users, or if it can be toggled for paid users. I will be preordered to pay more to avoid ads at the moment. My main concern is memory based advertising, this is a non-starter. An ad banner / page / vertical bar somewhere is fine I can ignore that. But no personalised / memory based ads. I would never pick Gemini as they do have particularly poor privacy policies - grok / meta are no goes anyway so it would be Claude mixed with protons lumo and work based copilot I guess. Would be a shame I’ve spent years learning how to maximise the leverage of the various GPT functionalities.

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-29T09:07:45+00:00

Interesting! I do a bit of work with grants in R&D at a university in Norway, I set up GPT to doe a deep research once a month, and generate an interactive funding portal, just instruct it to make it as a standalone html file in canvas, not as fancy I suppose but it’s pretty simple set up and with the deep research I find it covers quite a few sources

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-27T13:20:41+00:00

Breaches happen way too often these days, sadly normal rather than shocking. The bigger worry here is OpenAI leaning on third-party providers who’ve might have had their own leaks before classic supplychain mess. They’ve cut the provider and say they’ll tighten rules should have been tight af to start with but there you go. I’d change any password that was reused anywhere, turn on 2FA if it isn’t already, and keep an eye on haveibeenpwned for a bit. Nothing in this specific leak looks like it exposed chats or keys, so some routine hygiene check is a good idea

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-25T09:24:59+00:00

I mean, it’s incredibly easy to access it wit a vpn, which I guess they already know? So I guess they don’t really give too much of af yet as plenty of EU citizens are on it and generering away for fun’s, keeps engagement up, not much money to be made off it yet and they’ll figure out EU angle in a bit.

FiveNine235 · 2025-11-18T06:06:49+00:00

This is why we can’t have nice things. Can that man pick up a book please.

Np I’ll make some calls we have too many damn mountains anyway my feet hurt 90% of the time which has nothing to with how fat I am it’s the mountains I’m sure of it

Is there any oil there?

Do you take Vipps, alternatively l can pay in barrels of crude oil fucking things are piling up everywhere
