It is exactly a tool for PEOPLE to use. This is just like having a CAPTCHA on your service. It is licensed for people, and not for bots. If bot operators would obey the permissions and licenses, then people wouldn’t have to do defensive measures like this.

At least on Samsung smart phones we have been agreeing to let them WiFi scan for years now.

I pick the option I think will stop it (no precise location?), but I am not at all convinced they won’t just silently do it anyway.

Anyone putting booby traps in released code is a piece of crap, regardless of the justification.

It’s just the newest iteration of telling someone to fix their computer by typing in “format c:” or “rm -rf”. It doesn’t matter that a smart person won’t fall for it; nobody deserves to be subjected to that risk.

Maybe we need tin-foil scarecrows to keep palantir at bay.

Would you feel the same if the program just went and did “rm -rf” without involving AI? Of course not for everyone, but for e.g. emacs users only.

Surely it could never happen?
