@CosmicTrigger every windows update will reinstall and bring it back 🤡

well that escalated quickly 😂 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpwwqp6nx14o

@tippfehlr or better https://gameoftrees.org/index.html

I tell you, those who abuse their spouse or kids are absolutely going to love this feature, apart from bad actors. 99.9% of people don't even know this is turned on by default, and everything they do is captured and viewed by bad actors or abusers. Microsoft is not just a monopoly, but they don't like family values or privacy or safety. They are going to put innocent people's lives in danger. ABUSE is written all over this crap.

@rowens oh my. of course, it will be whitelisted now they are doing it.

At this point, Apple should simply skip deep AI integration in iOS and macOS. Focus on third-party apps for LLM. Capture more market share while Microsoft is busy pushing spyware. Tim Cook, this WILL BE YOUR legacy, not Vision Pro. This will be useful for those who need Adobe (i know another monster) or other apps for work stuff.

Is it just me, or has Microsoft gone completely crazy? They are implementing spyware that takes screenshots every second and forcing AI integration. Why would anyone willingly purchase this? Anyone with experience in computer or information security knows that it is a bad idea, even if it is locally done. Just don't do it. Yet, here we are, and they are doubling down on this idea. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/ #privacy #security

Personal and corporate nightmare for all Windows users because they are going to take screenshots and store it locally. Every one knows how bad actors get locally stored data. Also From Microsoft’s own FAQ: "Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. 🤡 https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/copilot-plus-pcs#faq2

@WagesOf It's the same here. Sam knows nothing will happen to him because of his powerful status. This time, he was caught red-handed with proof. He underestimated Scarlett Johansson, who can afford expensive lawyers. Most artists can't even pay rent time or afford food. This is a sad reality.

@SebastienK lmao. even if he did, i don't have resources to send him letter using fancy lawyers.

I don't believe anything will happen to Sama legally. He received a considerable amount of money from Microsoft and has many powerful friends unless governments decide to control this situation. We all have to live with this madness and hope karma will catch up with him one day. It is hopeless situation. </rant>

Events happened so far:
1. First, Sam approached Scarlettl, and she refused to work with him.

2. Two days before the GPT-4o launch, they contacted her agent and asked that she reconsider his offer.

3. Despite not receiving a response from Scarlett, OpenAI proceeded with the product launch.

4. When Scarlett's lawyers asked for an explanation of how the "Sky" voice was created, OpenAI deleted it from its product.

5. His response to press or outrages: https://x.com/haydenfield/status/1792748249272795348

Now, everyone is so furious about OpenAI stealing a beloved celebrity's voice. But what about the many artists, writers/authors, and creators whose copyrighted works OpenAI stole to create works resembling and replacing those people's products? Not famous enough to generate the same outrage, right? At least now, everyone knows how bad Sam Altman is. He thinks he is above the law. I'm glad someone is standing up to this bully and I hope something good come out of it.

here is the video from the ms ceo

Satya Nadella says Windows PCs will have a photographic memory feature called Recall that will remember and understand everything you do on your computer by taking constant screenshots. This is a great reason to ditch windows altogether. Switch to #Linux 🧑💻 They don’t care about your privacy or safety anymore and not hiding it either.

It is a real shame that Microsoft is associated with scammers these days. No wonder engineers are leaving OpenAI.

Article from NPR : Scarlett Johansson says she is 'shocked, angered' over new ChatGPT voice https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1252495087/openai-pulls-ai-voice-that-was-compared-to-scarlett-johansson-in-the-movie-her
