No, that is not "common knowledge". You are supposed to be able to disable that unwanted feature.

I have no inside information, but I always assume the tickboxes that "disable ____ data" from Google/Facebook/OpenAI just disconnects it from your own account, not hides it from the provider.

The checkbox has an actual statement associated with it about what it does. You don’t need to assume anything.

There's no independent verification of what that checkbox actually does. The company can say anything, and you are unable to verify that they actually do it.

The only verification you could do so far is GDPR-style data export, and also the adherence to GDPR regulations (and even those might get skirted if they aren't operating in europe).

Aren’t they usually phrased very specifically as “we collect this data and use it to show you relevant ads, you can opt out of us showing you relevant ads”?

We've been making PID loops for a lot longer.

It was not a mistake, it was done deliberately.

I play AoE2 and it’s still growing.

Who is this “everyone”? Speak for yourself.

I’m like you, but I never “loved writing code” 95% of it is stringing libraries/APIs together. Same old CRUD.

However, I always loved making software. LLMs are a godsend. I just wish I could run it on my own

Calling AI "hype" is like calling the internet hype.

Swedens main issue is a political class disconnected from reality.

That is a global issue.

You didn’t need “hindsight”. It was painfully stupid at the time.

That the problem is “this guy” is a misunderstanding.
