This is exactly the kind of shit I don’t ever want my fucking computer doing. You don’t need to track shit. You do what I tell you and then you shut the fuck up.

I shouldn’t have to fight with my devices. It’s the exact reason I got rid of my iPhone. When you fight against something long enough, you end up migrating to devices/software that let you do the crap you need to.
Linux looks so good these days
Sources say AI Explorer features a UI that runs along the top of the screen, and lets users recall memories based on the user’s inputted search criteria. Because AI Explorer is recording and triaging everything you do on your computer, anything and everything becomes something you can search for.
Hello Billy, how are you today? Do you want to search for more incest porn, or may I serve you some ‘hot milfs in your area’, like last tuesday? Or perhaps you need a new fleshlight, considering how worn-down your current one is. And by the way, next time you use that, it would be great if you could cover your camera. Even an AI has its limits, thank you so very much. Remember: I see everything and I cannot ever forget, even if I might want to.
All I want to know is how it can be removed / disabled permanently from my work laptop when it reaches it.
Whenever I bring up the issue all I get is blank stares of “how can you not be excited if you work with computers?”. I just wanna scream.
I feel you :/
I’d answer with:
Because it’s a privacy nightmare.They’ll answer with:
I don’t care about privacy,
I’ve got nothing to hide.I’ll answer with:
That’s a dumb reply,
my privacy is not important,
but systematic privacy is,
if we don’t care about it,
we’ll end up in a oppressed surveillance state like China.And then they say “huh” and likely will continue to not care… ;-;
However it does make some aware,
in which I’m putting my faith.
According to my sources, AI Explorer will run in the background and capture everything you do on your computer. It will document and triage everything it sees, no matter what apps or interfaces you’re looking at, and turn them into memories that you can recall at a later point.
For example, you can have a conversation with a friend in the WhatsApp app for Windows, and AI Explorer will record and remember the content that was on-screen and process it with AI for you to recall later. AI Explorer can also summarize conversations, emails, web pages, and general UI surfaces just by asking for it during or after the fact.
I’m told that much of this experience is rendered on-device and does not reach out to the cloud to process information. This is important for privacy reasons, but also for performance reasons. To reduce latency, AI Explorer will rely on NPU silicon to process content that has been recorded. I also understand that users will be able to filter out specific apps from being recorded by the AI Explorer process, or disable AI Explorer entirely.
As long as it can be turned off.
MacOS has had spotlight search which searches any shit in your computer in 0.1s for over 10 years now. We have a pity search engine that takes 5 minutes to look up for a slightly obscure file in your computer and this piece of shit is all that they can come up with?
