Microsoft claims it's offline, but how sure can we be? I smell what the rock is cooking.
Even if it was 100% offline. For how long? Microsoft can change that with a patch at any time. Suddenly all your personal files are being fed into GPT with no consent.
No more windows for me. I've been back and forth with windows 11 and Linux but been on Linux for awhile. Last windows I used full time was 7
Not even completely removing Windows from your life will help. Anyone you interact with through email or instant message or social media will have screen-scraped copies of the entire interaction. And that would be bad enough if only a single person gets hacked and has their Recall data hijacked. There will be huge databases available that people will be able to freely cross reference. They'll still be able to build a quite extensive profile on you just through all of your interactions that get scraped from others.
Yes I'm aware. I've been down that path, and sadly there's no escape no matter what tor this or VPN that you use with a privacy centric app. We can however minimize what is being data mined.
Doesn't matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.
Bye bye windows
it's a penis in the door 🚪
It's using a snapdragon elite specific chip that can handle the AI offline.
While we don't yet know if it can be a hackers wet dream, we do know that there are use cases for it
Yes I can agree there can be positive uses for AI, but I don't really see any transparency from current AI companies to trust them.
Unfortunately, that ship has already sailed. AI will be a disruptor. You not using it won't change anything. Only laws and legislative action will fix things.
