- people are going to be using intelligence with Siri. Siri sends all transcripts to Apple, even if processed locally. Will this include text transcripts too? That’s some seriously private information that gets sent to Apple that you can’t opt out of.
- have you looked at what’s in knowledge.db?
People hissy with Microsoft’s product because of OCR of the screen or is that only a factor?
And Apple intelligence is mostly local on device. I don't think I'll use it either as I have my own AI server already and I only use a Mac for work. But Apple's implementation is privacy-first, where Microsoft's is "get this to market first, worry about everything else later"
How is that different than disabling Recall on first boot/setup?
Options turn themselves on for some reason, historically speaking
Microsoft is known for being utterly user-hostile when pushing features on people. I have a gaming PC I occasionally boot up and every single time I do so it harasses me to use their cloud service in a way that very much seems like it will restrict my ability to use my own computer if I don't.
User trust is expensive to buy and cheap to relinquish!
Consumers: Then why did you implement equivalent APIs to the ones advertisers use to siphon our information from Android?
Apple: OH UNFAITHFUL CONSUMER, IT WAS DONE SO TO TEST THEIR FREE WILL
I'd argue Apple is more an "Invade the privacy but keep quiet about it" with a shiny and aggressive ad campaign toting privacy from (others, but conspicuously not apple).
I don't use Siri. I have never been interested in talking to my computer. So that's one way to opt out.
On the other hand I kind of need a screen to use my computer.
I think you’ve skipped over the knowledgeC.db part. Know what that is and how it works?
My understanding of it is it collects metadata. It doesn't collect screenshots or do OCR, again as far as I know. It'd a completely different system from Recall.
Why would I trust that company with my data?
I assume they’ve changed functionality after that media, so I don’t know anything about its expected implementation anymore (and don’t particularly care, since my Windows device is just for games).
aI, on the other hand, is very interesting because it runs locally from a custom LLM with some very interesting instructions pre built. I’m excited to see where it goes and Apple’s press during WWDC makes it clear that they’re extremely interested in a secure and private implementation.
I think this is probably as good as it gets from a security pov, and completely misses the point of why this is an absolutely-terrible-no-good-idea in the first place.
I only have windows 11 on my media pc (accidental upgrade that i've never bothered to revert) and I believe it is not able to run recall - but even on a media pc, the thought of MS taking screenshots every few seconds creeps me the f*ck out.
I mean that seems like an absolute mountain of a factor. Who asked for or would want this? Delivering the ingestion of agents before the consumer use-case was never going to work. At least apple intelligence (:rolleyes:) seems to be tailored around the hypothetical needs of users.
I don't understand it and I can't imagine how out of touch you'd have to be to make it the default, but weirdly the market for this is out there.
That doesn't imply anyone wants it. This is triply true for consumer products that are forced on consumers.
Release of a product does not imply any demand, especially for people outside the industry. People inside the industry should be considered insane until proven otherwise.
