@tob@carnage4life i’m no expert, but i think there needs to be a more clear handoff of assets. especially since tesla is public, and not primarily owned by Musk, siphoning resources from Tesla is effectively stealing from investors
Microsoft does so much so well these days. But this Microsoft Recall product is like watching a grown man carefully placing his hand in a door jamb and then repeatedly slamming the door on it. Obviously stupid from conception.
@Cmastication@SecurityWriter I figure Apple wouldn't build a product like Recall because their entire business is built on consumer trust, whereas Microsoft sells to enterprises and it's actually very appealing to be able to spy on employees
@williamgunn@Cmastication@SecurityWriter yeah, thus far they weren't subject to an ad business, so they've never had tension between privacy and business, but AI does change this.
i've heard news that they're partnering with OpenAI/Anthropic. So maybe they deal with it by not dealing with it. But I also see a lot of academic papers from them training new (small) models. So idk, but i do know they're not going to directly endanger consumer trust, that seems clear
I just spent a couple of days with https://www.perplexity.ai and it amazes me that this startup has done what Google, with unlimited funds, has failed to do. Perplexity is good. Really good. And I'm trying to figure out how to jettison Google and default everything to Perplexity. I'm pleased to spend a few bucks a month to make search useful. But even the free version is better than Google.
there's a layer of corporate people who are interested in virtual presence in meetings, because for them meetings are not about information or problem solving, but about signaling and self-presentation. being seen at the meeting is much more important than the content. also, seeing their underlings at a meeting gives them some sense of power as well. their problem to solve is "how can I be more visible at all times"
