Ars Technica reports Microsoft will add AI to Windows, to steal your corporate secrets

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?

I know, but NK politically isn’t that far away from PRC.

I recall a statement from an article I’ve read several years ago on the presentation of Will Scott, a professor who has been in NK, at 31C3 2014.

Als sich Scott Root-Zugang verschaffte, fand er ein für Normalnutzer unzugängliches Programm, das die komfortable Einrichtung verschlüsselter Datenträger erlaubte. “Das ist interessant, wenn ihr einen AES-verschlüsselten Datenträger braucht, an dem die NSA garantiert nichts manipuliert hat”, scherzte Scott.

When Scott gained root access, he found a program inaccessible to normal users that allowed the convenient setup of encrypted data carriers. “That’s interesting if you need an AES-encrypted data carrier that the NSA is guaranteed not to have tampered with,” joked Scott.

After the Covid lockdowns there is a saying in China:

We thought that North Korea is our past, but now we know it’s our future.
