I'd be pretty angry if I found out someone I chatted to on Signal was running a service to workaround my message expiry choice and archive my messages. And breaking that trust just to run it through an LLM?
replyBe angry then, IM communication is not a contract with terms unilaterly decided by one party. Or put a confidential signature with every message, see how well that works for you
replyBe a better person. Or at least put a message in your status that you record everything and send it to Google for analysis for minimum personal gain. Do you also carry a second phone to take a photo just in case someone sends you a disappearing photo?
replyIf I need a contract for you to treat me decently and respect my choices, I really dont think you can count as a "friend" at all.
replyEverything old is new again. This is basically the debate over IRC Bouncers all over again.
replyThey might not be doing it on purpose, remember that microsoft windows "take a screenshot every few seconds and send it to an llm" thing?
replySignal pushed a fix for that: https://signal.org/blog/signal-doesnt-recall/
replyfucken yep. don’t do this.
