You know he hasn’t taken office yet, right?

But be careful, being open source does not inherently make it trustworthy. It could be doing something nefarious that just hasn’t been caught yet.

Well you did say the tradeoff of security was “for nothing” which is why I said that. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with memory issues in my older age and would love to have a memory coprocessor that helps me. I think the interface (interaction between user and the tech) will be critical here for making it usable. Regarding privacy, M$ has been touting it is offline (unless that has changed), which is why they are going to the trouble of building out these LLMs and multimodal LLMs and the Copilot PC with accelerator chips built in. It will be as secure as any other file on your computer, but the stakes will be higher for leaks, no doubt. New encryption schemes will undoubtedly be required as it’s on the cusp of being a digital part of the users’ self.

I’m talking more abstractly about the tech vs your concrete here today Microsoft Recall implementation of the tech. It’s unfortunate M$ isn’t working towards accessibility now, but this tech will enable such things.

That makes sense. One thing I’ve noticed with Mojeek search results compared to Google is that I do not encounter the “old web” any more on Mojeek than on Google. Are you not crawling/indexing web 1.0 blogs and sites at all?

That is not at all what I am saying. Of course not using it is your choice and your right, but saying there is no use or value (for anyone) for this is willful ignorance at this point.

Edit: it also does not have to be a trade off of your privacy and/or security either. This tech can be done securely and with privacy-retention, but what I am seeing and hearing from this thread is that it is Bad. No. Matter. What.

Biggest impact is accessibility. Think people with memory issues or blind. This tech will change their lives.

This is an accessibility wet dream. That’s the biggest use case IMO. Take all of the people who struggle with memory issues or who are blind. This will completely change their life.

A few other use cases I put in a sibling comment. Sorry, you caught me on the defensive!

That is seriously deranged. Copyright exists for the corporations. Any individual artist that goes up against them Loses. Every. Time. That’s my biggest gripe about AI=Bad people, my opinion of them is that they are hypocrites, have they seriously never file shared a mp3 a day in their lives?

There is also other uses for this tech than “theft” from artists. How about driving tech that learns from people’s driving footage.

Great questions!

Imagine you’re working on a problem and solved it 6 months ago. You forgot to bookmark the site, and you just can’t find it again. No problem. Query Recall to show you what problem it was and how you solved it.

This is a memory of what you did during a user session on your computer…

This is a “I forgot my keys” type solution for the average user. For the power user, it has a ton of uses including what were those settings I changed last week, they seem to have worked and I want to document them, or recap the game I played last week so I’m not completely lost when I start my next session.

There was no sales pitch. I hate Microsoft and do not talk to their sales people.

The tech is useful.

Seems like I struck a nerve.

That’s a great first step but by no means the only component. You forgot analyzing the images, cleaning any privacy issues, and securely deleting the images, and of course indexing the information and making it available for queries. Best to not even store the images, IMO.

Oh… you weren’t serious? At least try to understand the tech if you’re going to badmouth it.

I seem to recall creative ways to index things without robots, e.g. browser addon that users opt into to send pages and such, essentially crowdsourcing the indexing. Anyways good to see you’re taking the high road!

Is that legally binding? What happens of they catch you, ban your IPs then you’re in the same situation as now. Literally no reason to not do it IMO.

Ignore the luddites, this will be a very important can’t-live-without feature in the years to come. Once the privacy issues are worked through, and yes, luddites, they can and will be worked through, this will be a differentiating feature that every other OS plays catch up to. It already exists in some tools like ssh playbacks.

If you count the little banner text ads then they already have the ads in the top right corner of the videos and have had those for years.

Not to mention their “1080p” streams look worse than 2013 480p streams. The site is a dumpster fire.

They were getting paid to develop the Linux kernel? No? Then what’s actually the requirement?

That is an insane amount of storage. How much does it grow every year and is it stable growth or accelerating?
