still dont understand why you would ever want to save screenshots of your desktop and also waste disk space
To get the idea of always being watched into your head !
Literally 1984. No, like, literally literally.
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.
Yeah, it sounds like it might actually be a useful feature if it wasn’t impossible to do it securely and in a privacy respecting way.
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.
