Read the whole post. I acknowledged them already and am expressing my doubts over the true motivations that drive Microsoft to force a tech like this upon all their users and express my concerns over the real use they will make of this technology.

Don’t you try to change the meaning of my post just so you can have a cause to white knight over. This isn’t Reddit.

An image is worth a thousand words. How is reading a text describing what is on the screen going to be better than just looking at the screen yourself, something you’ll need to do to read the description anyway? Aside from accessibility for the blind, the practicality such a technology is questionable.

The motivation behind this is obviously to facilitate the collection and reporting user profiling data. Accessibility for the blind is only a side effect. Tech companies have been doing it with automated audio transcriptions for years already, now they’re after what you look at on your screen.

Coming up next week: Captchas where you have to click on all the pictures containing non-white people

Or starts running over non-white pedestrians

They would have been decent EVs had they not put all that stupid proprietary tech in it. They essentially enshitified cars.

Insurance premiums for Teslas have been skyrocketing because of this.

Imagine buying a car and your car payments keep going up over time because the repair costs rack up faster than your payments.

When will ordinary people finally figure out that AI only provides the illusion of intelligence.

It should be renamed to SI for Simulated Intelligence.

Good on them. The earlier they can shut down those coal plants, the better.

Because to Trump, they’re not “black jobs”

Also Microsoft products have become enshitified beyond recognition.

Holy crap if they started doing that in my area I’d switch to an EV within a month.

Point said nozzle towards offending ad dispensing machine, squeeze trigger for a few moments, light a match, tell yourself that it was all worth it while recovering in a jail hospital.

The US treats its people worse than its prisoners. And I bet some idiots out there think it means they should start treating their prisoners worse.

It’s some sketchy pre-cracked Jack Sparrow edition I torrented to run exclusively offline in a VM and will never let it connect to the internet because I don’t trust it. I’m not too worried about getting security updates for it.

I exclusively use it to run Autodesk Inventor for making 3D printable objects. Once the STL is created I just drag and drop it out of the VM into my Linux machine. It’s the only communication with the outside world it will ever have.

I have a copy of Windows 10 LTSC that I have installed on a virtual machine just in case I need the one last program that I use that I cannot get to work on Linux.

Lately I upgraded my machine and had to reinstall everything. As I was installing Windows on my VM, it started demanding that I create an account and wouldn’t let me proceed without one, asked me to associate third party accounts to my OS and was generally being extremely intrusive and forceful in ways I didn’t remember it being before, like opening Edge and forcing me to click through an introduction that I didn’t want without giving me the option to close it. I then realized that I had forgotten to disable network access to my VM and that Windows had downloaded updates during the install.

I immediately destroyed that VM and started over again, this time without allowing it to connect to internet. Suddenly the experience was far better.

The moment I had let Windows connect to the internet it had thoroughly enshittified itself. It let me appreciate how badly Microsoft has enshittified Windows 10 over the years ever since its release. We are far away from the Windows 7 days.

Install Linux

I got the labels right.

You can clearly see that all the AI can do is represent someone’s face in a hand drawn cartoon style. It cannot exaggerate features to make it a caricature like the true artist did.

Neither would a human therapist be inclined to find the perfect way to use all this information to manipulate people while they are being at their weakest. Let alone do it to thousands, if not millions of them all at the same time.

They are also pushing for the idea of an AI “social circle” for increasingly socially isolated people through which world view and opinions can be bent to whatever whoever controls the AI desires.

To that we add the fact that we now know they’ve been experimenting with tweaking Grok to make it push all sorts of political opinions and conspiracy theories. And before that, they manipulated Twitter’s algorithm to promote their political views.

Knowing all this, it becomes apparent that we are currently witnessing is a push for a whole new level of human mind manipulation and control experiment that will make the Cambridge Analytica scandal look like a fun joke.

Forget Neuralink. Musk already has a direct connection into the brains of many people.
