I don't think this is quite as easy as everyone thinks. They do this in Tennessee but it only works for situations that almost never apply.

Here is my question.

How does this affect LLMs. Because as I understand it, once they are trained, you cannot just, "deletr the data out."

I'm pretty sure as much as possible if our data is being collected, too.

The fact that it's not as fucked up as in the states is little protection, just look at how chat control got shoved up our bums.

Laughing at America is a splendid cynical feel-good distraction, but let's not kid ourselves and fight for every bit of privacy they are going to try their hardest to wrest away.

I feel like America holds the world back largely by it being so simple for other places to say, "At least we're not like them."

Most obvious in any discussion of racism in Latin America.

GDPR already allows us to delete data with just a request, which is what the comment you're refering to references.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I and I am saying not to get complacent.

Have you used the GDPR to remove any data?

[-] db_null@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 9 hours ago

All you need to do is send them more personal data to confirm it is really you. Then they will delete it all, promise.

I'm looking for a job. I'm pretty sure it won't make a difference if I just post my CV publicly on Facebook or CraigsList at this point. Seeing how many AI rejections I have gotten, I'm sure every major tech company knows all my details by now.

Oh yeah... There are like only a couple companies that handle the background profiling of candidates, this was true even before AI, but now they use AI as part of those systems. Once you are rated by them once, that's it. They just will reuse that profile and you will be ignored in all future postings if the profile isn't "desirable" based off their metrics.

I highly recommend you find someone who professionally assists people create CVs and applications that understands how modern AI applications work. They will know how to refashion everything so your application looks new to the AI and will give you tips to game the AI.

They will probably charge like $250 for the help, but it will be well worth it. If you have any colleges, especially community colleges near you, they might offer this service for free to basically anyone in state.

the picture is broken

oh wait...now I see it.

People praising this are unaware of exactly how many different companies have our data. Google works with thousands of different companies that collect our data, amazon works with thousands, facebook works with thousands every internet provider and TV company sells your shit to thousands of different companies

also...just websites? Not databrokers or advertising companies who don't keep the data on websites? This is a weak half measure that doesn't even make a dent in the problem

so don't get excited for positive change until there's a perfect solution? got it ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

[-] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

This is a step in the right direction.

Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good please.

Or me on DS9

[-] Marn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 9 hours ago

More data collection should be opt in only from the start but at least this is something
