GOOGLE IS LISTENING!

and literally every single ad sense add is pet toys after it
add sense is google

The ad on Fark was for an RV that had a picture of a dog in. Was not for dog-related stuff.

I know, I'm talking about after he talks about dog toys. At 5:15

Confirmation bias, also ML can pick up on very subtle clues. It's impossible for you to think up a random word and test it, because humans are biased and there will always be a small set of words you will tend to think of when you're looking for a "random" word, and ML can accurately figure out your subconscious thoughts.

>Confirmation bias
what subtle clues you stupid retard? are they also recording his video camera?!

Watch the video! It's obvious where the tracking is coming from.

That's not Google stupid, that's Windows 10, literal botnet.

Websites have to request microphone access and you have to click OK. But Windows is literally spying on you with full access to hardware.

I am going to test it with sex toys, very special ones.

who cares, nothing to hide nothing to fear ;)

So it's satan vs. the devil, who cares. Same shit.
I find google worse of course, but maybe just because they are much more successful.
Both don't care for your privacy, even a tiny little bit.

He opened like two ads before and a dozen after.

Does he own a dog? Let's say he owns a dog and there's 10% chance an ad will be a dog ad. Literally through random chance, he's almost guaranteed to not get dog ads before and get them after.

Statistics, motherfucker.

>He opened like two ads before and a dozen after.
They were dog ads. There were no dog/pet ads before.

>Does he own a dog?
no he does not, have you even watched the video.

>claims Google listens to you
>literally not possible for Google to listen to you without permission
>"Oh, b-but Google is s-still evil!"

>literally not possible for Google to listen to you without permission
I'd like to see the rationale on this one.

that you have nothing to hide makes me fear you
you are those kind of people who destroy everything good in the world

wtf, do you not have an android phone?
it's literally a google phone, why wouldn't it listen to you 24/7, that's how they make money, from ads.

>literally not possible for Google to listen to you without permission
>Google approaches Microsoft and gives them some money
>windows 10 now has a mandatory google program bundled with it

Well stop coma Google provides conveniency now in a bye 4 wart domination later
Dictated using Google voice typing.

1 contaminated experiment is conclusive evidence.
yeah okay buzzfeed

Websites must request special permission to access hardware like microphones. Literally pick any modern FOSS browser.

>Windows 10 sells your data
>some ad company buys your data, possibly Google
>"Google is listening to you"
This is some Olympic tier mental gymnastics. Is your doctor literally Hitler because he's using medical knowledge obtained from inhumane experiments performed by the Nazis?

Chrome is not a website, though.
There's really nothing stopping Google from doing speech recognition and uploading the transcription to their servers. Even if it's from tens of millions of clients at a time it's just text.

I hate seeing dog shit.

We all know that Google's listening. No point in denying it.

Right but that video provides no evidence to support that claim.

All these people here who protect google.
I guess for them it's like finding out that papa google is not such a good person, after all.
"Facebook and Google can do no wrong *waaaah* *waaaaah*"
Wake up. This is the real world, kid.

Not very cobclusive at all

i didn't watch this, does he have a phone there? those are more likely to listen with their "assistants"

I think that's implied.

it's in their terms of service and privacy statement: you accepted it

I actually have some anecdotal evidence for his. I would be talking to a friend about something and open google maps and it would know where i wanted to go . They made it less spooky

Chromium is open source. If you find that it's using your microphone, you can make millions from selling that to the news outlets. Go on, user.

>first
He actually didn't notice the dog advertisements on Fark before he went on to other websites.

But they said they'll do no evil.

>The motto was first suggested either by Google employee Paul Buchheit at a meeting about corporate values that took place in early 2000[8] or in 2001[9] or, according to another account, by Google Engineer Amit Patel in 1999.[10] Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, said he "wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out", adding that the slogan was "also a bit of a jab at a lot of the other companies, especially our competitors, who at the time, in our opinion, were kind of exploiting the users to some extent"

>our competitors
>exploiting the users to some extent"
lol

i honestly thought this was known. Often I would chat on our hour long drive every week. I would get ads for stuff we talked about, never once typing any of it.

>you can make millions
You mean the media will ignore it for 5 years until russia discovers it and then the normal populace explodes with fury over something that they'd ignored for years

I tried it using dog toys just the same as he did and I never got a single dog toy ad, everything was random, this guy must have malware or something because not very many of my ads come with the "sponsored links" thing in the corner but every single one of his does.

Should also note I'm on wangblowz 10 and using chrome as my main browser, so nothing is different. None of my ads were even relevant to shit I google every day, let alone ones I've talked about

Jokes on you, I never talk

If you install anything from google (such as Chrome) it will also install a background process that does ???

Chromium is not Chrome.

This actually is what I thought. An antivirus would have picked chrome up if it actually listened.

>An antivirus would have picked chrome up if it actually listened
You grossly overestimate what antivirus programs actually do.

>>An antivirus would have picked chrome up if it actually listened
>You grossly overestimate what antivirus programs actually do.
Meant to type antimalware but whatever

I have known this for years (why this is news to you beats me) and still use android phone. Even worse, chink android phone.
Good thing I don't speak about my sekrets with it. ;^)

I got it, they are mostly the same.
the amount of actual heuristics those kinds of applications do is very little, it takes a great deal of invasive work for any application to stop anything from "listening" whether it is file I/O, device I/O or network.
Youll find that barely any antimalware have even the capability to do that, instead of simply "this file matches this signature, therefore its malware"

>constantly jokingly talk about pseudo gay shit to friends
>never an ad for discrete trap meetups
lost fucking sales google.

it gave him ads for dog toys of the specific color he was talking about. Same brand he talked about too. Something on his computer is definately listening to him.

Then wouldn't this method sees whether google is recording or not? superuser.com/questions/760288/how-can-i-find-out-which-processes-on-my-computer-are-accessing-the-microphone?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

His android phone. His computer can't do that just yet unless it is a chromebook

I guess someone should try to repeat the results to settle this. If I had windows 10 I would do it.

I just tried with chrome open, and they are indeed hooking to audioses.dll
However, I am unable to exit chrome right now to check when it is closed.

...

Do you have an android phone? That's the thing listening to you; not the laptop/desktop

do you have a google account? are you logged into it? if so are the targeted ads off?

You’re wrong

yes and yes, I can always try again talking right into my phone I guess

Still just getting random ads, the only targeted ad I've seen is from ebay for a laptop the rest are totally random and usually about clothes or betting and I don't talk about or do either of those, enabled all tracking and everything.

>That's not Google stupid, that's Windows 10, literal botnet.
The ads clicked through a Google domain.
So unless Microsoft is handing the data to Google....

The questions I have are what devices he has around him and what settings does he have on.
If he has an Android phone or Google Home thing with the voice assistant active then of course it will be listening all the time. It won't hear the "Okay Google" command if it wasn't so that part shouldn't be surprising.
The question then is if it is sending recorded packets to Google for processing or if it has a local word recognition that picks up things like "I want to buy", "I'm looking for", etc and sends a text conversion of what comes next to Google.
But this really shouldn't be surprising.

Common sense says it's processed locally and only the keywords (or maybe the whole transcription) are sent to Google. Otherwise it would be a huge strain on their servers, having to take the much larger audio stream and process it themselves.

yes

Holy shit completely unrelated but it works with Newpipe! So cool

I'm mostly impressed by the speed. It has to be locally processed, but then those processes should be visible if they're on a desktop PC. If it's his phone or another device then it'd be virtually impossible to confirm without testing each device in isolation.

If it is his phone I wonder how much battery power gets sucked by this shit.

You've a good point because if you just google for "google ad settings", it brings you to a page where you can customize how/if they tailor ads to you. If this s on, they can build a profile for you and targeted ads. I've always had it turned off, but Google still accurately knows I'm male 25-34.

Besides, anyone who doesn't block ads is a fool and asking for trouble.

>having a microphone
I shiggy.

Have tried - didn't worked.
GNU/Linux + proprietary Chrome.

>having speakers
Same thing

>Get asked if google can use your microphone.
>Say YES.
>"-G-Guys! Google is listening to what I say!!"

GENIUS !

>he doesn't use headphones
Get a load of this guy.

Simply block the ads you fucking goy.

I have a microphone, but pulseaudio is shit.
I think I should thank Poettering for saving me from botnet

Same thing. Can be used as mic

They'd still be listening and recording everything

Good I play porn on my speakers so they can have fun with that. And it's not like I ever say anything confidential so don't give a fuck

Chrome always runs in background unless you manually kill the process, which he didn't. Although, yeah, it could've been the phone.

>Google shills completely out of control or delusional retards sucking the corporate cock
Fucking kill yourselves BOTNET enablers.

I replied to everyone in the thread!!! Look at me guys!!

Alibaba cloud can monitor entire cities' traffic and people and velocity

>livestream
so he literally streamed all of it straight to google servers, google does audio analyzing on all livestreams.
I'm not saying that google doesn't listen to you secretly, but him livestreaming it on youtube completely invalidates his test.

how come nobody has commented on the guys very unconvincing reaction , obviously he knew the outcome of his experiment before going into it , this is either because he is in control of the outcome or it is repeatable .

this isn't something he mentions , he is trying to sell this as the first time he has even thought to do this ,
this is fud thats all
fud for clicks
... oooh shocking ... i can't believe it

Fucking Google is worse than fucking Facebook. Facebook you can just stop using, google you have to install a custom ROM to make fuck off, then switch your browser, switch your email service, etc. Google is everywhere

pretty fair assesment
its impressive how quick the dog terms are picked up and turned to directed ads

>live test

he was recording a video stream right on the fucking youtube, was showing an image with text that ocr software can read and talking about the subject.

google was waving e-peen a while ago about their algorithms that can pick up video contents in sub-1x-playback and it's eerie how accurate their autogenerated subs from shit quality english audio are at this point. adding that data to well paying advertiser databases is pretty much a realtime thing from that point. then again, guy probably knew that and made a shitty clickbait video that doesn't explain anything.

If you check his other shit it's clear that he only does clickbait/sensationalist shit.

Ultimately, we just have to trust that Google is like the Star Trek Federation: a totalitarian organization with its own hidden agenda that promises to at least not make your life any worse.

I am complicit. They made it too convenient. Who else has so much unrestricted access to my private information that, automatically and without my prompting, my Google phone can: 1) analyze a newly received email and recognize that I have a new meeting coming up 2) place it on my calendar 3) locate the office that the meeting is taking place at on Maps 4) send me transit, including traffic information, for the trip over there, guaranteeing I arrive on time (also meaning they know where I physically am, currently).

It's like having a vigilant personal assistant. But everyone knows your personal assistant has to read your mail and know your wife's phone number in order to be of any use to you.

but i'm ferengi

They are already making it worse though by censoring half of the political spectrum.
