Gross. I'm so sick of these AI tech bros shoving it into every corner of my life.

Telegram was always a bad actor with misleading claims about their communications service. Not shocking at all.

Oh wow. Integrating an LLM AI in the absolute bottom in human communication; CSAM, drugs, revenge porn, criminal chats, illegal weapons trade and so much more … this will work out well.

i really like ai, but only when i can activate it myself in apps or website.

We know about all of that bottom human stuff because it's not encrypted. I guarantee you encrypted messengers like Signal are much worse when it comes to that.

Hold on.... Why are they paying telegram and not the other way around?!

To ask is to answer

It's probably long past time to remove Telegram from your life.

Most of these are apps are privacy and security vulnerabilities but the normie got nothing to hide

What's worse than enshittening?

Telegram

...because Grok is being used to push certain "alternative facts" to those who are susceptible.

grok is about to enter its furry terrorist arc

Is it gonna be opt out/opt in

And yet, most radicalized chats are on Telegram, or so we were led to believe.

See, believe it or not but as far as we can tell, Signal is just less convenient for large groups and it very much looks like Telegram is worse. But it doesn’t matter: it’s about AI (Grok) being integrated with an environment known for bad data. Grok will interact with bad actors and train on awful data.

There are valuable uses for AI in general. LLMs are not one of them.

A person may not "have something to hide", but that doesn't mean they want a digital profile built about them to target for any of a billion reasons. Perhaps someone says something anti-MAGA, and thanks to AI someone gets a list of all that person's accounts, hobbies, schedules, etc, and that information is then used to target that person.

Everyone in the world has something to hide, especially when AI can aggregate all of those somethings into a human digestible format.

Isn't telegram more like Instagram with feeds?

Telegram with Grok.
