Google has updated its privacy policy to make clear that it uses the information it gets from crawling the web to train its generative AIs.

@carnage4life Login walls are about to go up everywhere except the blogspam and disinformation sites.

@carnage4life I just checked the link in the Gizmodo article and the text about training AI doesn't appear... did they remove it, I wonder?
