I can't be bothered to look up the facts about the windows 11 ai thing, but I'm genuinely baffled as to who wants this, as well as why they need special ai hardware to make a keylogger that also watches you look at porn or whatever else it is that people use computers for

also swing and miss on the branding. "{product name} recall" makes it sound like the entire product line got ruined by salmonella

@aeva Critical vulnerability leads to Recall recall.

@aeva does a panopticon even need to be powered by anything?

@aeva large companies seem to think that AI is literally magic. That it's just one thing that can do everything if you just throw enough processing power into it. Why make an actual good search when you can pipe the already slow enumeration of files through an even slower AI model so it can hallucinate files that don't exist on your computer but someone else had?

@aeva love the idea that all my passwords are gonna get keylogged and fed into LLMs as training data

@aeva Microsoft sees the success of Clippy and Tay, and decides to synergize these products into the ultimate, unproblematic AI assistant tools.

@aeva Investors want this, because it sounds like Microsoft is on the cutting edge of tech development.

@aeva i would argue that this is actually for no one. it is theater for the shareholders who are supposed to believe that the company is innovating.

@lritter someone somewhere in microsoft thought this was a good idea, and a whole lot of people saying "yes" made that happen. so shirley the number is at least one?

lritter,
@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@aeva they're also all shareholders ;)

@aeva @lritter I'm not sure anyone did think it's a good idea, so much as they thought their promotion chances would be improved by saying it was one.

@aeva pretty sure "who wants this" is "shareholders" and literally nobody else

@JoshJers I'm sure politicians will be giddy about the possibilities
