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?

To quote Microsoft themselves on the feature;

“No content moderation” is the most important part here, it will happily steal any and all corporate secrets it can see, since Microsoft haven’t given it a way not to.

No content moderation means it ISN’T reading the screen.

It’s screen shots saved to your hard drive just like when you hit the print screen key in Arch. It’s a stupid feature but saying MS is stealing everything because of this feature makes no sense.
