Right, but the problem is users should be able to use the feature and be confident it’s secure. It most assuredly is not as multiple people with access to the pilot program have demonstrated.
I bet some lower level folks within MS knew this would be an issue and screamed into the void about it.
The AI scans all those screenshots visually and tags them for search later so, for example, an artist could open a file they don’t remember the location of from thousands of folders by typing text describing it. That’s actually awesome. I imagine lots of people could come up with really useful ways to use something like that. I mean, if it wasn’t an Orwellian nightmare.
I don’t know about impossible. I could see this working on a Linux distro with a local model doing all the work and storing it encrypted locally. Buuuuuut, it still feels risky! That’s a giant traunch of juicy, searchable data that just begs to be stolen.
I mean, just because you don’t care doesn’t mean nobody does.
If I was running a school where students with physical challenges attended, I would not feel comfortable asking them to use software called Gimp, so I would just avoid it.
That said, I would avoid it anyways in favor of Krita, I’m just saying.
No actually they nailed it, Windows 11 is losing ground to Windows 10 lol! (Sorry about the crap source. There are plenty of others from the same time frame, I’m just lazy. )
My personal guess is that’s just because people aren’t buying new systems right now, but that’s just a guess.
We’ll see if MS holds strong on their Windows 10 phase out date, though. There will be a LOT of pressure to delay that, I think.
I think you’re right, none of this matters to them.They have their judges in place and everything is set up for Jan 6 II, Coup Boogaloo (but this time it will be ‘legal’).
Honestly, it’s less about trusting Microsoft than the inherently flawed nature of a closed source operating system. There’s no way a user can tell what’s really going on behind the curtain. Maybe that was okay before, but I think the capabilities of AI have pushed us past that point.
I was buying some edibles a few weeks ago and the guy behind the counter told me this cheap brand was infused with “nano technology.” I laughed a hearty laugh and replied, “I’m sorry, did you just say those are infused with nano technology?” He looked me right in the eye and said, “yes.” I bought the $6, ‘nano technology infused’ edibles lol!
Jack Davis, the artist here, was just a complete bad ass. He used to frustrate some of his editors because they felt like he could do a much better job if he would slow down and take his time. Like, a lot of his work you see was apparently his lazy ass, ‘I want to go home’ rush jobs! Amazing. One of my personal favorites.
People spending that much time on their work can and should create things in meat space.
EDIT: This comment got some hate and in retrospect it does sound pretty snotty. No disrespect to any digital artists intended, including AI artists.
I just meant to highlight that more traditional artists can still create in meat space and newer AI artists simply cannot do that easily yet. I personally hope any artist with the ability to focus for hours and hours considers also doing meat space work. Actual tangible, 3d work can only be sold once, but can be sold for a lot. And it’s cool.
They needed managers and accountants, so they begrudgingly agreed to educate everyone’s kids as long as the public pay for it and they get to ultimately decide the curriculum. There’s always been push back on that second point, especially by teachers. In the modern era, STEM* is most useful to industry so everything else gets de-funded to the point of meaninglessness.
*STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

Well it’s not as though there’s ever consequences for these shenanigans. In fact, they often win and everyone just says, “oh, those rascally tricksters!” and then women lose their bodily autonomy.
