So how exactly are yhey not extracting their so called safe-data in this process?
O the data really never was safe?
suprised pikatchu
Sigh.
Me: Sup
AI Summary: What is going on my friend?
encrypted my ass. this is to everyone who dares to think that encryption is worth anything in a closed source app, developed by facebook no less. it is used as a buzzword, no more
But… But I thought those were private and couldn’t be read by anyone else. /sarcasm
I mean you are pressing a button to send them to the AI. It’s like clowning on how Signal messages are supposed to be private and can’t be read by anyone else, while you yourself are sending a screenshot of the conversation to others. Or inviting a journalist to your secret group chat…
The dubious part is the claim of privacy in Meta’s AI.
I will never understand anyone who uses Meta products. How much shit does that company need to do before yalls gtfo? Like fr, why are you using WhatsApp when Signal or a million other messaging systems are available?
Momentum of where friends and family are.
It’s nice to be able to say “well they’re not worth talking to then”, but at some point I need to be able to reach my parents so they can babysit my daughter. Or be able to know that family will be in town and expecting me to be available. Or be able to have any way of knowing what life events are happening to my loved ones without having to wait for it to be brought up in casual conversation months later as if I should already know.
My extended family and friends do a poor job communicating on a good day. If I try to add another hurdle, I’m not the one who wins that fight.
Now that RCS between ios and android is a thing there really is no excuse to use Whatsapp any longer. RCS might still be a bit janky but it does its base job fine to the point that I can really reach anyone I need either thru signal, RCS or as a fallback SMS.
I’ve tried moving to signal but at most I have about 3 friends that use it with me, it simply not possible to dump it completely and remain in contact with all my friends and family members.
I told my people it’s Signal or you’re simply not hearing from me.
And I’m sure that summary goes to metas databases to further your profile in their system.
Nobody really needed this feature, this is the actual reason it is being implemented… obviously.
It is insulting they aren’t even trying to hide it.
I could see this being handy in a car or in a super busy group chat where you need to know what they’ve agreed on during the 200 messages you’ve missed.
I can see reasons people might use this, though I probably wouldn’t myself
What that says to me is you are trying to bullshit using a basic tool when you actually need to do the work of onboarding people onto some kind of platform where you can actually coordinate complex things or have conversations between huge groups of people that are still salient to individuals.
Yeah good luck getting everyone in whatever friend, hobby etc group to join your platform when all your communication is already happening on WhatsApp
Which is exactly the intended conditions ventcure capital investment in WhatsApp was intended to do, now they can just keep cashing in over and over again banking on pure inertia from people already knowing how to use WhatsApp badly to do something they could do far better with another tool.
