Microsoft has started rolling out a.i. to its Windows Operating System for PCs. This “feature” pretends to make it easier to find documents on a computer.
What they should have done is create a reverse index for document retrieval by contents keyword. That proven technology has been around for decades, and doesn’t use a.i.
Microsoft’s tendency to force a.i. unto users of its Windows operating system poses significant threats to privacy and the safety of corporate secrets.
For those of us who have a business to protect, what operating systems help safeguard privacy?
This sounds a LOT like the plot of a terrible 90’s movie that was thinly veiled to portray MS as a mini-surveillance state, with some murder thrown in. I’ll try and find it.
Edit: Released in 2001, it was ‘Antitrust’. I remember it being bad, but not good-bad like ‘Hackers’
That sounds familiar. I was thinking of one called something like Sawfish? But maybe Antitrust is what I’m thinking of.
‘Swordfish’. I don’t even know what in the hell that movie was supposed to be, but it was basically Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as “Hacker”, but just filled with ridiculous nonsense.
Great episode of ‘How Did This Get Made’ going over it. Worth a listen.
