    “if we don’t do it, someone else will”

    Ohh yes, if Grindr doesn’t feed Grindr users’s chats, which only the users involved and possibly Grindr itself are presumably privy to, to an LLM, someone else will.

    You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it’s fairly obvious that the people writing them don’t spend time in grocery stores? I’m getting that same impression here.

    App that is plagued by bot accounts thinks that adding more bot-nature will improve quality

      Every dating app is full of bots and dead accounts. Comes with the territory.

                so I was digging into your post history to see if you’re just like this all the time, but you saved me the time of having to wade through the rest of your shit:

                  It’s shit like this that discourages from ever running any sort of service that interacts with the general public. I’m already exhausted by the sheer grinding tedium of the amount of visible tone policing on the internet, and it somehow never occurred to me that it was just the tip of some vast beige fatberg clogging up all the pipes.

                  Anyway, thank you for hiding the awful realities from the rest of us o7

    Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It’s an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there’s a profile flag you can set that literally says “yes please, send me NSFW pics”. You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

      This reminds me that the ‘Instructions unclear’ jokes are now actually a reality thanks to LLMs.

    Grindr has been used to out people everywhere from Palestine to Egypt to Chechnya to America, so training a chaotic, insecure LLM on user data seems like the privacy disaster from hell.

    I don’t think “going to a random place the algorithm told you to and having sex with whoever else is there” is nearly as common a fetish as it would have to be for this to be anything approaching a viable concept.
