This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Funny that it knows this, yet chooses to ignore it.
Amazon being ableist, the preferred term is diminished gluteal syndrome.
~/s~
Just checked and Amazon has this for my buttocks “Fully caked buttocks”.
Anybody know what this means?
It means you a certified snack.
It means that now whatever bot is presumably harvesting Threadiverse comments now also knows that you aren't some mere half-caker.
“Systematically building electronics laboratory.”
That’s so much nicer than saying I’m constantly trying and failing at my hobbies as I realize how little I know and how ill prepared I am for my ambitions.
Same here with "likely prefers specialized tools for specific tasks" rather than "hyperfocuses on a new hobby every month and convinces themselves to buy the pro tool 9000 because they will absolutely not leave it collecting dust this time"
Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.
Because Amazon wiped out what Walmart and other big box stores didn’t kill in the first round. Sometimes there’s literally no place else to get what I need, not even order it in to a local store. On top of that, Google search for products is so wrecked that the choices it returns are amazon links, or links to websites that also provide amazon links to the same products. It’s fucked up.
(FWIW I do buy local or direct from businesses other than Amazon when possible, but it’s simply not possible all the time)
"Likely lives in City, State"
Birch you ship everything I've ever ordered to the same address. Best you can do is "likely"?
I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.
The Epstein class is literally the government right now
Mine doesn't have anything of a particularly personal nature, just obvious stuff from purchase history like:
Yeah. Mine is really basic as well. It can be summed up as has kids, pets and a car.
The weirdest thing I see is "frequently repairs small engines"
I replaced the carb on my lawn mower last year. It's the only part I order from Amazon because I'm lazy and wanted an prebuilt carb. I hardly call that frequent but maybe it's a low bar.
Since no one is linking the page and I had to go hunt it down myself: https://www.amazon.com/slc/hub?useAiMode=1
Mine doesn't have anything interesting, probably because I avoid using Amazon if possible.
You know, I'm actually kindof proud that Amazon figured this out about me...
I love how it categorizes my full time professional job, which I did a degree in and everything, as a "hobby."
"Has a cat"
Ha ha bitches, I have TWO cats! Suck it big data, you LOSE!
Mine is pretty straightforward, "builds electronics" "has precision tools" "likely has a french press" (I do, I bought it on Amazon), "prioritizes high-speed data transfer", "Probably has a computer system with internal expansion" (I bought an NVMe SSD from Amazon once), "Likely lives in (the town in my saved shipping address)"
So surveillance. Much sleuthing.
It's a lot bigger than just this though, because they buy data broker info, which isn't included.
I once read a piece in Harper's Magazine, they bought these data brokers' bullshit and looked at their own profiles, and they were very wrong on a great many things, wrongly labeling people as gay, (facebook tried showing me gay ads at one point,) and a host of other ill informed conclusions about us.
Keep in mind, the feds, and maybe states now, buy this information to use against us. We should have some rights, but we don't.
Mine is pretty boring. Honestly, I imagine Amazon has a much deeper profile for us hidden away and this is the one they wanted us to find to diffuse our suspicions of being constantly spied on... Seriously, I bet me TV knows more about me than that list.
Hilariously I apparently am big into adheasivly mounting things and also buying batteries. Nothing about my buttocks, sadly.
Oh. And I prefer Anker chargers.
Lmao they think I have kids.
…actually now that I think about it for 5 seconds I think they just love defrauding advertisers.
Seems to only work on Amazon.com. My .ca info isnt shared. It says the following though:
"Make Amazon even more personal to you
Your other AI assistants have learned about you. Bring that knowledge here for an even more personalized experience."
I think I'll go chuck my computer and iot devices into a dumpster now.
Everyone getting mad that they made a profile about you, but nobody acknowledging that you can edit the info and make them believe crazy things about you.
Damn, nothing about how extensively I told them to get fucked when they put ads in Prime Video
Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying "I dont even have an Amazon account". Makes me sad.
Honestly I am not surprised at all that they have this. I'm more surprised that this information became public, but with AI I suppose it was inevitable.
Mine was empty, i am kinda glad about it, it means they did not have enough info about me, not even by brokers
Btw, i added
Mine says "Builds Xbox controller collection gradually." I buy my husband a new controller about every 8 months because the sticks start to drift. Maybe it should say Xbox makes shit products.
It sounds like you're just feeding xbox controllers to your husband
Husband starts crying in the background
Seems like this is just an American thing. I have a German and an American account and couldn't find the "About You" page on the German one. Man, I love GDPR
I wouldn't celebrate prematurely. It could very well mean that both German and American Amazon profile you, but American is just more transparent about it because Americans aren't as spooked by surveillance as Germans are.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol
I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!
The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister's kids so that's no surprise
Though it definitely gets a lot of other things wrong, like the number of kids I have.
