   For AI agents to be powerful and personal, they will need significant data access. “When we’re talking about an app that might be able to look at your entire computer, that is really disturbing,” EFF’s @cmcsherr told @washingtonpost. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/05/agents-ai-chatbots-google-mariner/

     @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost if I have understood correctly @jolla is working on a thing that does this, but locally. Jolla Mind2 they're calling it.

     It's a box with built-in AI agents, and nothing gets sent to the mothership.

     @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost Nope. They can prove it works by providing their data to us and letting the bots play with it.

     They don't get *my* data for their playground.

     Yeah, not on my watch. And certainly not on my PC or on my phone.

     Also Google wants me to create an account so i can continue watching videos on Youtube, which i have done for the last 10+ years without ever been accused of being a robot. There will be world peace before that happens.

     Yes, i listened to Kraftwerk, but that doesn't count, right?
