[@somethingsomething594]

No it's just a massive server farm in some building. Literally rows upon rows of servers with high-end specs processing (and probably spying on) your data. What you're describing is peer-to-peer, which isn't reliable or performant when it comes to the insane amounts of number crunching that AI needs to produce anything good. Every peer has different specs, some better, some worse. And some peers are really far away from you. Some are closer. Their internet speeds are different. And what if you need to use multiple peers to complete some big data processing task the AI needs? How do you ensure each peer stays active? What if one peer shuts down their PC? You would have to re-allocate the task of the failed peer to some other peer, which blocks the whole process until you can establish a connection with that other peer, and possibly have to do the failed task all over again. It's not reliable and really slow in comparison. So companies use centralized server farms for this kind of thing.

Couldn't have said / written it better! It's amazing to see Zack having such a hard time understanding that it's one thing if something like this is done in a black box that nobody except for the user has access too or if it is potentially shared with MS and many others. An no, browser histories shouldn't be uploaded automatically by the browser or system and if a browser or system would do this, they should get banned. MS has no good track record and we (I'm an IT admin working for the state - not the US) are not allowed to use normal Windows but LTSC with heavily reduced data collection and transfer by and to MS. There is actually a push towards Linux as MS is seen as a problem in this regard. I really miss the control over what your PC was doing in the MS-DOS days. Nowadays operating systems do lots of crap in the background and it's near impossible to tell what of it is really necessary. Like when the system is idle but the fan starts ramping up because Windows starts the MemoryDiagnostics task.

I think the biggest issue with this "Recall" feature is that I can imagine Microsoft will build this functionality into windows to the point where toggling it off doesn't stop the process from occurring, but instead just stops the user from seeing the screenshots taken. Further, this is a massive vector for attackers who will try to write code that can steal these screen shots which potentially hold massive amounts of sensitive/private data. Imagine how many people have a password document etc and would pull it up to view their passwords, that document gets screen-shotted, attackers pull the screen shot and now have access to all your passwords. This is might not be a super common scenario, but it most definitely will happen.

[@achgehzu2125]

what is the difference between that and hackers writing code to steal other stuff on your computer? like, people have 4 digit passwords on their phones with pictures of their naked bodies or naked bodies of others, their kids, emails, notes and use public networks on stations and stuff, but somehow an encrypted feature is something to be concerned about? I dont get it. And if you have not heared about password safes for Windows you probably should not use a computer anyway.

The issue is not that your search history is recorded, but that your entire screen gets recorded, including the personal images or videos you watch from your personal files. When you drag a JPG photo file of your mother into the browser, the browser may record the file path into your browser history in case you want to look it up again later, but it won't record the actual content of the image. These proposed tools by Microsoft however literally record what's displayed on your screen. And lets not forget other issues, such as screenshots of when you enter your credit card number or screenshots when viewing classified business documents.

@@konaqua122Key loggers don't take screenshots, they records keystrokes entered to the keyboard. What you're describing is similar in results if not function. Key loggers are effective because they use very little bandwidth on your network to send anything you type directly to whoever has put the malware on your PC, whereas sending screenshots chews up considerably more bandwidth and therefore increases the chances of being caught. In this case, the built in AI would be processing the images locally to enhance it's internal heuristics. I'd be curious to know whether that means every OS has a quasi AI of different levels (ie. you never turn your PC on ergo your AI is a retard) or if all the results are pooled and Copilot is buffed by updates... = \ What MS is doing could be secured so that it never leaves your computer (by them) but in all likelyhood, it will be datamined locally by your OS and any relevant data uploaded to MS.

Another issue that AI has right now, is that it's like you're asking questions to a social engineer. Even if the answer it gives is wrong, it tells the information in a way, that may make the person actually believe it's true. As much as I'm interested in AI, I don't trust the current technology for it, because it's extremelly dubious.

Savestates aren't sent back to MS for data collection. It's taking screenshots of everything you do, so user names, passwords, banking details might be captured and then sent to a third party. Private images stored locally are suddenly being sent to a mega corp. A lot of personal data you don't even consider might be captured and you not even realize it. Cookies and browsing data is largely anonymous and it's more tying your presence to places on the web, it can't capture passwords, screenshots of your files, etc. It's very different because these are snapshots of everything you touch on your PC.

[@CubeInspector]

No it isn't anonymous. Everything gets aggregated from your Amazon purchase addresses and CC info, to your real name to your entire browsing history.

[@linkah]

@@CubeInspector I said largely, as in a lot of the actual data is screen positioning, sizing, mouse tracking, etc. Yes, that data is itself used to aggregate it into the identity they have for you, but to look at the raw data without say a google account to tie it to, is completely anonymous. You have a shocking amount of data collected that doesn't have a name attached to it at all. It's still linked to you, but it never is actually linked to a name. It's like a shadow profile that is both you, and not you at the same time. the closest you can get is linking it to an IP address. When you create accounts, like amazon, then yes, Amazon will link that data they may have purchased or collected themselves to you, but if you never create an account, then the data is actually quite anonymous as it's just "A person" (IP address, etc) Vs. "Cryptid Lord's Data". If you never created an account somewhere, never put your personal info into a field, it'd be completely anonymous, thats why companies like MS, Amazon, Google, etc are so insidious, that use their services as a vehicle to de-anonymize the data they have collected, like putting together pieces of a puzzle, except the puzzle is your entire online life.
