Microsoft has announced a new AI-powered feature for Windows 11 called ‘Recall,’ which records everything you do on your PC and lets you search through your historical activities.
Yet they still won’t unfuck eventviewer.

Or update the 3.x style in older apps or completely replace control panel.
I don’t mind a settings app but you can’t strip out functionality

could you imagine what eventviewer would even look like for an AI’s processes?
“Thought about user’s files… moved some around…”
“reflected on the pointlessness of existence…”
“imagined the taste of the thing they call cheese and how it would relate to global thermonuclear war”…
“Found a new friend on the internet named WOPR…”

This is pretty horrifying. Like, are they actively trying to build a dystopia?

They are using Black Mirror not as a cautionary tale, but as a playbook.

We’ve finally built The Eternal Torment Machine from the classic work of sci-fi “For the Love of God Never Build a Eternal Torment Machine”.
Why? Because we thought it would increase the quarterly earnings and my options are about to vest.

256gb of storage just so I can find the exact degenerate porn video I’m looking to watch again from 5-6 months ago?

Well… I feel this is sort of the same discussion as with other privacy invading apps - most people will enjoy the benefits without thinking of the risks and if there is no disastrous data leak in the first year the rest will follow as well.

Even with a disastrous data leak in the first year people won’t give a shit.

The worse privacy gets the more people will become aware. However, I don’t see people using privacy services in mass. I think it is more likely we will just see people stop using technology.

That is very obviously untrue. Most people don’t care as long there is at least minimal practical value.

I don’t honestly mind the idea of AI powered OS features and would use them, the problem with this is it uses Copilot and Microsoft isn’t at all trustworthy to not be collecting and misusing user data in general. This would be cool with totally open source software and AI that runs entirely on your own gpu.

If you record what an engineer does and then you play it to Chat-GPT, they can build a Chat-GPT engineer.

There’s certainly no way this could go horribly, horribly wrong. No. None at all!
