Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.
That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

@campuscodi Why no one is pointing out why Google is pushing local AI on Chrome?
One, so developers use it because it is the shiny new thing that will solve a lot of issues™ and blame users they are not using Chrome when this feature doesn't work in other browsers.
Two, it should be local because developers should use it free of charge. The user should pay the electricity bills.
It doesn't mean that this data will stay on the device: they will likely send samples of user data for training. The important part of being local is that it should be free and induce developers to use the feature. Soon they will start advertising it to developers like water "you can use AI on your website free of charge*!!!"

@campuscodi The Great Data Heist of 2024, no sign of slowing down, still escalating!

@opentermsarchive I guess you’ve got that too ?
@campuscodi google cant help themselves lol
@campuscodi how is this even legal...
@campuscodi
How did that line get in therein the first place?
It's Google. Sending your data to their servers is what they do.

Anyone still using Chrome deserves everything they get.
@campuscodi Google are like stalkers and thieves. They have no respect for their users.
@campuscodi Google: Guys no, it's just our new offering "Local+". It gathers info locally and just "re-localizes" it to another location that is more local to me and my clients, that's all! Nothing remotely fishy (hehe) about this at all!
@campuscodi serves people right for using Chrome. Been saying it for years, but people are like "no, everyone uses it, blah blah"... and unlike Edge you can't even use the excuse that it's been pre-installed. Using Chrome is a choice.
@campuscodi I guess tomorrow I completely uninstall it.. I've been using Firefox for about a year and kept chrome around in case of compatibility issues.. I've opened it maybe twice over that time.

Why do people still use that #Govware?
- Use @torproject / #TorBrowser (and maybe @Waterfox if you have to use Websites run by assholes that block #Tor!)…
