Since Microsoft seems to not care about the #Privacy impact that the #Copilot+ #Recall feature has, I am going back to #Linux as my daily driver. All my #Homelab servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.
If the Microsoft Windows 11 PC (which I am forced to use for client/work) is any proof, every Microsoft AI feature added to the OS is subtracting 15-20% of the productivity from your employees. 🙄
@ai6yr I have a Win 10 Pro machine. When clicking search I kept seeing an offer to try CoPilot, I OFC ignored. Then I found that I could use group policies to disable Copilot. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot. Machine keeps naggin me to update for free to Win 11 but so far I have resisted. Need to figure out if I do that if I can still disable #Microsoft#Copilot and IF they are going to give me Win 11 Pro not home...
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
and there are so fucking many things wrong with it
one of the most amazingly wrong things is that... they're already throwing "ai" bullshit at these screencaps they're doing every five seconds, right? that's what does the OCR and also does the LLM-driven description for the search functionality later
and yet no one
NO. ONE.
thought to tell it
"and don't save screens with the word 'password' on them."
YOU COULD DO THIS WITH GREP, YOU STUPID FUCKS, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! IT'S NOT HARD!
Okay, but it is kind of funny that the big selling point of AI trash like Copilot is to (supposedly) avoid the tedious hellscape that corporations have created and could stop at any time, but they won't, because they can't envision corporate life being anything else.
Like, it says pretty much everything when the killer feature of your product is having it stand in for you on Teams meetings and give you a summary afterwards.
I can't imagine working without GenAI any more. I often write quick bash scripts to automate things, but for some reason, the syntax always falls out of my head and I'm constantly looking things up.
Now I just hit ChatGPT and ask it to write the script for me. With the latest version, is usually works perfectly the first time, so long as I craft a good prompt. This is a huge productivity boost.
Ist auf meinem ersten Blick nicht schlecht aber unsere persönliche Daten (Gesichtserkennung) sind deswegen von der KI nicht geschützt. Dies kann mMn sogar massiv missbraucht werden.
»AI Act – Das KI-Gesetz ist endgültig beschlossen:
Die Regeln treten in 20 Tagen in Kraft. Besonders risikoreiche KI-Anwendungen sollen verboten werden, für Gesichtserkennung bleiben Ausnahmen.«
🧵 …nun ja, so wirklich überascht mir dies nicht und trotzdem werden sich viel wegen dieser Ausrede sich aushorchen lassen. Auch deswegen meine kritischen oberen Toots.
»Microsofts – KI-Assistent Recall ist ein Sicherheitsrisiko:
Recall, die neue KI-Gedächtnisstütze auf Microsofts neuen Copilot+-PCs, ist nicht nur praktisch, sondern offenbar auch ein Sicherheitsrisiko.«
