In other words it’s turtles all the way down

> Your personal data is safe and secure That's from the article. I can't think of anyone I'd trust less with my data than Meta. Well, thieves, I guess.

Remember that time they were spying on all of their "free" VPN traffic through some elaborate scheme? Onavo, for anyone interested. This was only like 2 years ago.

Remember when their Android app would open a local TCP port, and they would have websites connect to localhost:PORT so they could deanonymize you? That was only like 1 year ago.

I think Meta's strategy is to capture the 'normie-tier' of AI users. I know most of us here on HN track model releases quite frequently and discuss every parameter weight out of them, but most of the world is just... oblivious? I was discussing latest in tech with an accounting friend out of curiosity, and I kept talking about tiers of GPT-5.6 (Sol vs Terra vs Luna) and asked which one she used on the desktop 'Work'…

I think of my mom who doesn't care and doesn't understand the difference between google AI Overview vs actual google search results. "I looked it up" - she doesn't care what tool she is using she just wants answers to how long bake pork or the best throw pillows to buy or whatever else she is looking up. She's mostly using google AI tools because it's easy and free and on her landing page.

I use that google AI overview a lot but I’m still using ChatGPT for 80% of my queries now.

Chatgpt has 469 million daily active users as of September 2026. Who exactly do you think they are? Martians? Because there aren't half a billion SWEs on planet earth.

What percent of ChatGPT users do you think know the company behind it is OpenAI? 10%?

What percent of Instagram users know the company behind it? Like is this even a real question?

I think you're right, but I'd add that... if this wasn't obvious to you without being told, you should really question your worldview a bit. A lot of people think that chat.com is an AI called "chat". Most people don't know acronym "LLM". Most people don't know about the existence of companies called "OpenAI" or "Anthropic", or that they are worth a lot of money. Etc.

This is very accurate. I teach seniors about how to use AI responsibly and they are always mind blown, and I keep it very high level. The amount of Chat”GTP” users there are out there that have no idea who the main vendors are. Most of them also think that Google is just a “search” company.

How would I be able to help do something like that?

TIL openai owns chat.com I hung out with my parents this weekend and heard them talking about "chat", as a noun. I assumed they were talking about ChatGPT; there being a literal chat.com makes sense why they'd call it that.

Surely the way streamers talk to "chat"? I've never heard anyone call ChatGPT "chat".

No, there are people who will say "ask Chat to explain it to you" in reference to ChatGPT.
