#PrivacyConcerns: Are you worried about AI invading your privacy? Here are some tips to protect yourself:
## Stay Ahead of the Game:
Just read about Microsoft’s Recall feature that feeds screenshots into AI – scary stuff, right? To keep your private info safe, consider investing in devices without integrated AI and avoid installing AI-related updates.
## The Future of Privacy:
As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, protecting our privacy is crucial. Keeping older devices without AI and refraining from AI updates may help preserve your privacy for a few more years.
## Embracing AI while Staying Cautious:
While AI has many benefits, being cautious is key. AI can collect vast amounts of data, raising privacy concerns. Stay informed and selective about the devices and updates you choose to use.
## Take Control of Your Privacy:
Remember, companies may not always have your best interests at heart when it comes to AI. Understand what data is being collected and where it’s stored to protect your privacy.
I guess you could be overly wary of upcoming technology and avoid it in the short term. But you could also embrace it and make use of the phenomenal things that AI is going to enable us to do. Call me nieve but I’m sitting in the latter camp
Linux is quickly becoming the way to go for anyone privacy-conscious. Thanks to Steam making a lot of Windows software work totally fine, it’s never been a better time to give it a try.
Lol they don’t need AI, they have already had all of your data for the past decade and you agreed to give it to them in all those user agreements no one ever reads.
Well, if anything is internet connected (like dishwashers, lightbulbs, TVs, etc.), the AI can theoretically even be server-side.
I have some bad news for you for any cell phone or operating system you have used in the last 15-20 years.
AI has zero to do with erosion of privacy. That ship sailed long ago.
Just today, I decided to put PopOS Linux on my kids’ upcoming gaming PC instead of Windows. Proton on Steam will play most of the games they want and they’ll learn something new and different. While maintaining privacy.
Bruh think he got privacy in 2024
The issue I find with AI is that the first one will set the *rules* for the others. According to them.
You are make a very wrong assumption that ai requires your data to be uploaded. On device processing is a thing, just need to make sure that is what it’s doing. The Microsoft thing is all local aka not going to a cloud server at all.
The other thing your concerned about privacy is not an ai unique thing. If you basically have any free services like gmail, or just using most search engines you are providing data to a company that is probably monetizing it in some way. There is a lot of actions people can take to reduce there data from being taken, but that is not nessarily tied to any AI stuff.
What is the practical downside of companies having my data?
Is it just the potential for identity theft we’re concerned with?
Paranoid for no reason … Mainly do you really think they don’t know every detail about your life. They just don’t care because you are technically boring and pose zero threat.
I’m fine with that.
Or you can simply swap to a Linux distribution and get away from this BS, though I know I’m shouting into an abyss on that.
Learn to use Linux if you haven’t yet
LOL preserve privacy.
Oh sweet sweet summer child. That boat sailed a long time ago
TLDR: Buy an iPhone
Black mirror – the entire history of you
This episode hits more with each rewatch
This is just ai doomerism from someone who just watched a YouTube video about online privacy

LMAO you are to late for that. You do know that your data has been sold more times then you can count right?
You don’t need a new device to have software that spies on the user and uploads everything. Has nothing to do with the current AI craze.
That all sounds like a lot of work. Imma just continue to not give a fuck.
It’s fully opt out, though.
Saving snapshots is turned on when you first start using Windows. You can always turn off saving snapshots at any time by going to Settings> Privacy & security > Recall & snapshots on your PC. You can also pause snapshots temporarily by selecting the Recall icon in the system tray on your PC.
I always assume that everyone knows what I’m doing online, reading online and what websites I browse, what YouTube videos I watch and everything else.
