AI Poop analysis company offering to sell its 💩database.
The website says "privacy is our foundation" and the app store says "the developer does not collect any data from this app", but the "Service Agreement" and T&C's say something completely different. #404media

"What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings. I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write."

Ein Drittel Slop
Jede dritte Website, die seit 2022 erstellt wurde, ist AI-generiert, also per definitionem Müll.
Sobald jetzt Google auch noch sein neulich angemeldetes Patent wirklich nutzt und in seinen Suchergebnissen keine Links mehr zu den eigentlichen Webseiten anzeigt, sondern nur noch auf AI-generierte Zusammenfassungen verlinkt, können wir das Internet dann auch eigentlich abschalten.

404media.co has pretty good articles and I love their page, but I'm disappointed that there is no "delete my account and data" button on their page.
Looking at their privacy policy they seem to expect you to contact their support email for such requests. This is fine but disappointing.

HIGHLY recommend this conversation between @josephcox and Dhruv Mehrotra, a heavy-hitter in the data journalism space.
Great work, Joseph 🙏 #404media

Went to read this and it's subscription-walled. Fine. I subscribe to your podcast and like your work, so I go to subscribe. Turns out the subscribe page doesn't work without turning off ad blocking. Neither does the opt-in page. Neither does showing images in the articles even when logged in as a subscriber.
Disappointed.
If anyone should know better it's y'all. You're technically and privacy literate, and so are your audience. Still, you expect us to accept trackers to read an article?
I still love your actual journalism, and was honestly considering becoming paid subscriber. I can only do so in good conscience though when you stop forcing all readers to allow anti-privacy tracking.
If people have to turn off adblockers to read, I'm out.

I was a paid subscriber to 404 media, but I decided to let my subscription run out this year around. They started to feel too one sided and tend to focus only on AI. Still excellent reporting though, for those things.
