“if we don’t do it, someone else will”

Ohh yes, if Grindr doesn’t feed Grindr users’s chats, which only the users involved and possibly Grindr itself are presumably privy to, to an LLM, someone else will.

And, of course, we know that once one company uses those chats, it becomes literally impossible for anyone else to use them.

Every dating app is full of bots and dead accounts. Comes with the territory.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it’s fairly obvious that the people writing them don’t spend time in grocery stores? I’m getting that same impression here.

Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It’s an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there’s a profile flag you can set that literally says “yes please, send me NSFW pics”. You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

Actually I was wrong, the guy is gay and married. But he IS a trumper, so I probably got mixed up.
