The Honey Trap & NotebookLLM by Google

[Hamish]

Hello,

2 weeks ago, a Youtuber by the name MegaLad posted a video:

Which exposed Honey browers questioning honey practices when it comes to trying to save you money and helping affiliates. Claiming honey overides the affliates links and intead takes credit for the saving.

I recently found Google's NotebookLLM which can take a youtube video, PDF and other sources and make a podcast of this. https://notebooklm.google.com/

i ran the video through the LLM and was surprised by how good the results was. You can find the podcast here" https://jumpshare.com/s/XoLSUiRFhYEycHLq8uRE

Kind regards,

Don’t know about that LLM thing, but the honey trap story has got legs.

Hello,

Agree, last week i heard Honey has lost 3 millions users, and many are now asking Apple/Google and more, to remove Honey and others once like Honey, to be removed.

LegalEagle on Youtube is also making a class lawsuit on behalf of everyoneL

If these allegations of fact, made “upon information and belief” are true, this is a good lawsuit. But class actions take time and a lot of work. There will be motions to dismiss and possibly appeals. If a class is certified a settlement usually follows pretty quickly.

I read that Spotify does the same, stealing artists redevances by cloning songs and directing trafic to fake accounts they have created therefore pocketing the artist’s redevances. It is a bit more complicated strategy, I do not remember the details, but you get the gist.

You will own nothing, not even your creations, and you will be happy!!
