    Bothers me that much of this data has been collected without explaining what its intended purpose is. All those captchas that want you to pick out cars or bikes etc, Pokemon game that wants you to scan locations for free items… It simply never occurred to me that these were actually just ways to train AI surreptitiously

      Never? They were very clear about the first captchas being used to train OCR, way back in like 2010.

        Every day that I play Pokemon Go, I’m aware that I’m making a Faustian bargain for motivation to take a walk in exchange for my privacy.
