    It’s always a good advice to stay away from that disgusting biz (all big tech), but a model alone can’t collect information and send it back to EvilCorp HQ, so you are safe in that regard.

    Personally, I have left Google 95%, but since they train on my data, I intend to use all Google products purely for social criticism, research and data on how psychopathic/criminal Google is, the criticism of Capitalism, the Western Oligarchy and their massive propaganda, how Ads are a form of mass-manipulation, and everything else that they wouldn’t want to have in their model dataset.

    Maybe just have googles own AI products produce garbage wrong research, and store all the noisy data on Google Drive. Go train on that, you f**kers…

    I admit it won’t influence future models much, so It’s more of a ‘feel good’ thing ;-P

      Fair enough, thanks.

      Yeah I avoid it to the extent that I can. The only thing I still use that is owned by google (since the whole Manifest v3 thing fucked adblock in chrome/chromium) is gmail, and only then because I’ve had the same email address since you needed an invite to get a gmail account (like 2006-ish?) so changing it now would really suck.

      Damn, that’s a good plan, I like it.
