@the_psyche_lab I left my marriage because of torture and no respect. In the end I didn't even take 1 rupee in alimony & literally built my entire analytics career from scratch and I have a thriving music career too. Marriage has to make both people happy. If it doesn't, there is no use.

@NammaBESCOM This isn't fair. I moved into this house only recently, I live alone whereas the previous months have an electricity bill that comes for 4-5 people.

@nammayatri When we got into that auto, he came and started fighting with us for cancelling the ride. He made me pay for a ride that I didn't even take. This is really unfair and your app's customer care service doesn't even work. Please do something about this.

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

Hi @nammayatri. I raised a ticket regarding an incident that happened on sunday and I still haven't gotten ANY response from the app. My friend and I had booked autos simultaneously and Ended up cancelling the ride I got.

@IDFreshFood you guys gotta do something about your quality control. Why is there a caterpillar in my chutney 😭😭😭

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

@Swiggy @SwiggyCares My delivery was supposed to reach in 40 mins but it took more than an hour. And your customer service rep says the best compensation she can give for a Rs 1000 order is Rs 87 ! Ridiculous !

Out of curiosity, aren't there certain protocols to be followed while establishing commercial/residential buildings near an airport? Weren't the doctor's hostels too close to the runway ? 😕😕 #AirIndiaFlightCrash

🚨 Most people haven't realized that the Ghibli Effect is not only an AI copyright controversy but also OpenAI's PR trick to get access to thousands of new personal images; here's how:

To get their own Ghibli (or Sesame Street) version, thousands of people are now voluntarily uploading their faces and personal photos to ChatGPT. As a result, OpenAI is gaining free and easy access to many thousands of new faces to train its AI models.

Some people will argue that this is irrelevant because OpenAI could simply scrape the same images from the internet and use them to train its AI models. This is not true, for two reasons:

1. Privacy “Bypass”

In places like the EU, when OpenAI scrapes personal images from the internet, it relies on legitimate interest as a lawful ground to process personal data (Article 6.1.f of the GDPR).

As such, it cannot harm people or go against their interests, and therefore, it must take additional protective measures, including potentially refraining from training its models with these images (see my previous articles on the topic, including on Opinion 28/2024). Other data protection laws specify additional protections in the case of scraped images, including for images of minors.

However, when people voluntarily upload these images, they give their consent to OpenAI to process them (Article 6.1.a of the GDPR). This is a different legal ground that gives more freedom to OpenAI, and the legitimate interest balancing test no longer applies.

Moreover, OpenAI's privacy policy explicitly states that the company collects personal data input by users to train its AI models when users haven't opted out (*link to opt out below - check out my newsletter article).

2. Fresh New Images

My second argument for why this was a clever privacy trick is that people are uploading new images, including family photos, intimate pictures, and images that likely weren't on social media before, just to feel part of the viral trend.

OpenAI is gaining free and easy access to these images, and only they will have the originals. Social media platforms and other AI companies will only see the “Ghiblified” version.

Moreover, the trend is ongoing, and people are learning that when they want a fun avatar of themselves, they can simply upload their pictures to ChatGPT. They no longer need third-party providers for that.

OpenAI obtained these new images voluntarily using a simple PR trick. What trick?

@PizzaHutIN had the worst service ever today!My order got delivered 1.5 hours late and I had to call multiple ppl to find out where my pizza was. With one of them claiming "We don't have enough delivery people,that's why the delay". Halt your delivery services then! #bangalore

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

Thank you @coldplay for the best night of our lives! 😭🧿✨🫰🏻 #ColdplayAhmedabad

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

Absolutely agree! It was very well organised! Expecting many more concerts in the coming years 😍

[Aurelius @Aurelius_Core]

India does have infrastructure for live concerts @diljitdosanjh . Just hire a better team.

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

@bookmyshow_sup @bookmyshow It's all sorted now. Thanks 👍🏻

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

@bookmyshow I’m confused about the delay between the actual booking date of my #ColdplayAhmedabad tickets through #Bluedart (Bluedart website shows 22nd December) and the date I received the booking confirmation message—which was only today! Can you clarify? #Coldplayindia

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

@BlueDart_ Thank you ! Sent a DM 👍🏻

[Amritha V @AmrithaV25]

@bookmyshow you guys suck big time ! I crossed the queue and got to choosing the seats, but everytime I chose the seats and tried paying for them, I kept getting redirected to new seats and eventually couldn't book tickets at all! Screw you! 🤬🤬

Give us back the trillion dollars you owe us and the Kohinoor. Your money is not even yours. It's what your people plundered over years. #thieves 😁😁

‘Britain, give us back our $44.997 TRILLION!’

Hi @PatrickChristys,

Thank you for reminding about the grant. Now ‘as a rule, salute us & return $45 TRILLION you’ve looted from us’

Britain gave, as you say,
£2.3 BILLION i.e. $2.5 BILLION.

Deduct it & return the remaining $44.997 Trillion to India.
