They care about companies they have less control over and a foreign adversary has more control over invading privacy, for reasons unrelated to seeing privacy as a good in itself.

I mean all child mortality stats are shitty, because they’re about kids dying.
But the short version of it is that the largest segment of kids dying to guns is them being accidentally shot in the same demographics whose adults make up the largest slice of shooting homicides (in both perps and victims) - minority (especially black) inner city communities.
The reasons are likely related - if you’re in a demographic where you’re more likely to shoot or be shot you’re more likely to have a gun around that’s not well secured, which means you’re more likely to have accidental shootings too.
He couldn’t talk about his plan, because then someone might look it up in Project 2025 and ask some…unfortunate questions about why all his plans look like that document he once described as a detailed plan for “our movement” but has definitely never read and knows nothing about.
The only times I’ve had it be remotely helpful is when you want something specific that’s going to appear near the top of search results and is also likely to be buried in a bunch of irrelevant faff. Which is to say that occasionally “search for X and summarize the top result” is a useful tool but not often enough for them to front and center it like they do.
For example recipes. You can’t copyright a recipe, so recipes tend to be buried in a lot of crap that isn’t the actual recipe.
I mean, that’s because googles AI over view is designed to summarize search results on a topic. On one hand that reduces the degree to which it will simply hallucinate, on the other sometimes the top search result is already as concise as it can be at the target grade level of writing.
“Yeah but my friends use Messenger!”
My mom uses Messenger. Acts like texting is too hard for her but Facebook Messenger isn’t. Literally the only reason I have it installed on my phone, because otherwise I don’t get the message when she needs something. If I could pry her away from it I could finally be done with the thing forever.
Even then, you have local voice recognition. You don’t need to stream all microphone recordings to some central server for processing, you just do voice recognition and keep a log of say the last 100 nouns and a high priority log for the last twenty nouns used near verbs like purchase, buy or get. Then send those lists to the ad provider as context. All the hard work is done on the client device and the same backend used for ad context on web pages can be used for this as well.
Ironically given their skillset, training an ML model on known and properly tagged AI generated and non-AI-generated stuff might actually work.
