Next they will be using your web cam to take pictures of you because … reasons. Then they will turn on your mic and record so that if you verbalize thoughts that don’t make it to your computer screen you can recall those too. Where does it end? I don’t want to know.
Before that happens, they will just use all that screenshot data to train their AIs.

Thanks, I hate it. Welcome new linux users.
“But I have to use Office” / “I want to play league”, and people won’t care 🤷

I doubt many people will be willing to de-bloat their WIndows install, because there is a lot of overlap between the type of person that would be willing to go through all the hurdles of de-bloating, and the type of person that is already on Linux.

Sorry I’m confused how do I get to online play games like LOL if there is no internet?

Ahh gotcha
Don’t watch your weird porn collection on Windows, got it.
But it’s perfectly safe you guys. It would take a completely run of the mill virus from literally anywhere to get this data remotely. What are the chances?!
I was just thinking the other day “I should just run Problem Steps Recorder 24/7 because why the fuck not?”
But thanks to MS’ bad idea implementation department I don’t have to!
You know actually this is great way for Microsoft for surveillance. Not all apps and there data was accessible to Microsoft, like some data were encrypted etc. No that they are taking screenshot they can directly run those screenshots through ML Models. ML Models Maybe on device but the output/metadata they produce might be sent to Microsoft. For example Microsoft might run Image-to-Text on device but all the text from output could be sent to Microsoft. Your data will remain on device but Microsoft will still know
to be honest, it’s my personal opinion they were already doing similar things before
Not wrong, just a useful justification…
I don’t think this is really meant to be a memory function. From this function an incredible dataset of epic proportions will be created of user computer behaviours and how certain software is used. Openai will then get metadata to train ai that will be able to use any software and do anything on a computer and understand and mimic all possible stuff. I don’t think they will literally sell the data, but in some way this will be used to train ai, probably with metadata of it. Honestly I don’t see a big deal. I guess it has to be like that. I think it would be fair to make all ai opensource since it’s trained on everyone, but for sure that’s not going to happen. But I prefer to have it than not.
Expert pornhub AI… Would it jerk itself ?
Perhaps it will already know which kink you want before you even do. 🤣

How do you expect OpenAI will get the data? And given Microsoft inserting ads all over the place, do you not believe they won’t sell data?
Yes, I wasn’t precise. I assumed we all understand it’s about the money.
I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.
I haven’t seen 60s before. I understood like it depends on the activity.
Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.
Going to the source, I found:
are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.
Should have searched first, sorry!
Nope, it sure doesn’t. You know why? Because I don’t use windows. That’s why. Haven’t used Windows on a daily basis since like 2018 and have no plans on doing so ever again.

this is literally what mobile phones do in North Korea
there is already a similar paid tool for this, not very popular, not as advanced because it doesn’t use AI: https://apse.io/
So basically the same as half the school administered laptops full of remote spyware. We had one of those bought home, supplied to teaching staff, the spyware was never disclosed and it used to sit on a desk in the bedroom. The rule now is we buy and control our own devices, even if they have to run shit like Windows for compatibility on some. Enterprise versions of Windows will almost certainly ship without crap like Recall as it might conflict with the enterprises third party spyware. Unfortunately there is still intense institutional resistance to moving away from the Microsoft ecosystems in some organizations.
