Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

[Gary Mitchell]

Many of us suffered a loss today. Let's remember that hour of sleep.

It's going to be the MVP come November.

Farewell my hour of blissful sleep. You served me well.

That's treading dangerously close to "people who have nothing to hide, have nothing to fear".

That wasn't my intention.. Was aware of how that sounded but why lie?

 

[Finn]

I haven't had a blissful sleep in ages.

Flavorsome... or flavorful?

Somehow flavorsome just doesn't seem as... Flavored.

Now Google's watching people SLEEP. For fuck's sake, do they have any shame?

^Chill a bit. It's no different from many of the apps we use for all kinds of things, the apple watches many of us have. I wouldn't go for it, but I'd just chill.

Remember, this is Google we're talking about..

I know, but no need to be an alarmist. They aren't gonna force it on us, from what I've read.

I don't know if I'm being paranoid. But last week on a Zoom chat with my friends we discussed possibly finding online guitar lessons to recover my lapsed skills.

Today, I got an add on my Facebook feed for online guitar lessons. I didn't discuss it anywhere else. Do they have speech recognition spying on Zoom meetings to get advertising information?

 

[JD]

Probably. They seem to have that shit anywhere it could pick up audio.
I always have the mike turned off on my computer, but I can't help but wonder if it's really "off". Luckily the camera has a solid shutter that slides over it, so I at least know no one can watch me.

 

[think]

maybe... this is a big maybe.. but it sounds right for most Humans here-

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I know, but no need to be an alarmist.

With Google, you can't be too careful.

That is the first I've heard of this? How do they do this?

I know what you mean. I don't know about your case, but I've had discussions with folks with no camera around, then something we had talked about popped up on Facebook. I figured there may be some kind of algorithm that may figure out what kind of things I might be interested, and it may be psychological as well..
