Absolutely can’t stand the “I have nothing to hide” response. Like y’all aren’t parroting Nazi propaganda.
“nothing to hide”
just wait until your smart fridge notifies your insurance company (who knows you’re diabetic) that you just bought a gallon of NOT sugar free ice cream. think they’ll give a rat’s ass that it’s not for you? i bet they’ll be more than happy to raise your premiums either way. or worse
I am in the minority but if i ever had a fridge that’s costing me money like that it would never be a brand I would ever associate with ever again and the current one is being tossed ASAP. I’m also not connecting fridges to my wifi either because why should it be?
ring doorbells can connect to the Internet through each other. Imagine a fridge made by amazon that uses the same network. Now imagine amazon giving discounts to apartments making it more attractive to cheapskate landlords. I can imagine insurance companies paying amazon surprisingly small sums to make this happen.
In the future, all Fridges will do it. You’ll have 10 brands to choose from but they’ll all collect your personal data and send it out via built in cell service.
the data they collect from scanning the upcs in your fridge alone would be worth millions-- how fast you consume one thing vs another, how far away you live from the store (derived from data
sharedtaken from your grocery “rewards/membership” card), what kinds of meals you’re making with the ingredients, and the size of those meals— all information they will exploit to make even more money from youin case you were joking: you weren’t really
And in this future scenario, even if it isn’t all fridges that phone home, or you somehow manage to disable it on a fridge that does, I’m sure that’ll make your premium go up too. It’ll be advertised as a cost-saving measure - “Give us access to this data, and you premium will be less! (Until we see you buying something outside of your plan, in which case, you’ll have to pay more)”
or worse
They’ll send the vegan police after you?
When someone says this irl, I like to ask them if I can go look through their underwear drawer.
Oddly enough the people with nothing to hide usually say no.
This reminds me of when a neighbor reported to the landlord that we were smoking weed indoors. She claimed she could smell it in her own apartment. We weren’t (and weed is legal where I live, so it’s a moot point.) When the landlord came around, we let him come in and smell our apartment. He found nothing.
So we suggested that the landlord go smell HER (the narc’s) apartment to confirm how bad the smell is. Guess what? She refused to let him in.
If she ever attempts to complain again, the procedure now will be to investigate her apartment first. If she refuses, we won’t be bothered. So yeah.
I’m not parroting anything. I just also realize the vast scale of the data imo makes most of it worthless outside of demographics ad targeting lol
I just had that comment the other day from a recruiter who “dug into” my socials with the help of “expert tools”. She said “Aww… you seem really nice to everyone!” (eller “Faaaan… du framstår som så trevlig mot allt och alla!”) after browsing all my non-anonymous social posts and seeing which Facebook groups I’ve participated in. I had just about deleted my Meta accounts before I realized I needed to have some kind of semblance of “social posting”, as my LinkedIn and such were pretty meager. The recruiting company unfortunately seems to prove that I need to have a social media trail in order to be employable in my field of expertise. Which has literally nothing to do with social media.
Maybe that’s why I can’t even get to the first round of interviews despite a decade of experience in the field.
Fortunately for you, LLMs are obnoxiously friendly, so why not generate a few slops of happiness for Meta every now and then. As a bonus, you’ll be polluting their next model too. It’s a win-win situation!
Taking one idea is plagiarism taking a thousand is inspiration. Seems the same logic applies to this
I have nothing to hide, except my alternative media sources. I also have absolutely nothing I’d like to share though.
Just because I have nothing to hide doesn’t mean I’m going to keep my front door open and let you catalogue everything I own and watch everything I do
Well, did you provide them a EULA (that they’ll never read) first?
When Nathan Fielder does it, it’s art.
Also if anyone wants to know the context of this
