JHC! Only a degenerate homo could even think and talk like he does.

For emotional support I have a black cat that bites my face without

I don't need my gd computer to "validate my feelings" and tell me
everything's OK.

Meanwhile, whenever Joel Crump needs emotional support, his "girlfriend"
rams "her" "girl cock" so deep into him that the head comes out of his ear.

Yeah, this is where Winblows is at, in 2024-2025. This is what you
get when you run Win11. I'm excited about the new hardware advances
we're seeing - but not because of AI. I believe we're on the verge of
a revolution that *can* *include* AI, "if [one is] a fucking moron",
but can also be about other things, like right now I still have a
fairly new and usable desktop, but I could get my ass an ARM laptop
already, not from Apple, delete Win11Copilot and be on my merry way.

I do not.

Running Win11 doesn't mean you have to use CoPilot, or Recall, or ANY
included Microsoft application at all (besides admin stuff like Windows
Update).

You never have to use:

Calculator
Edge
File Explorer
MS Store
Mail and Calendar
Media Player
Movies & TV
Notepad
Outlook
Paint
Photos
Terminal
Weather

You can uninstall nearly all of them, and hide the rest.

Then install 3rd party replacement apps - mostly free of cost - and make
them the defaults.

Then you have no Linux and minimum Microsoft, if that's your preference.

I simply haven't had an issue with Linux that I couldn't cope with.
And I don't need Microsoft's library of third-party apps, as if they
are better than what I have now.

Who knows what's going to happen with Windows "CoPilot ready" PC's
with NPI's? How could anyone know, for sure, what it's doing? How
will anyone know that "features" turned-off will not be turned back
on?

Of course, the vast majority will just say "duh" and not know or care,
and their loss of privacy will be profound.

Assholes like DumFSck may defend M$ on these issues, but no decent

Copilot+ is truly next level bad. And yet that is the kind of machine
I want, what today are the laptops with ARM. But not to keep Win11

Is that nonsense the best that you can do, DumFSck?

Let's not forget that "recall" is not the only problem. Even with
"recall" off, that NPU will not sitting idle. It's scanning your
files. It's watching every move you make, to "help" you.

Or stops them from turning it back on in a future update.

Even if they were to claim the opposite, we already know how little
corporations care about our privacy. Let's not forget how Google deleted
files by users who had written about content they deemed inconvenient.
There is no reason to believe Microsoft wouldn't do the same.

Of course, smart people wouldn't have put such documents on the cloud in
the first place.

Recall isn't spyware unless it reports data back to MS or others without
telling the user. Got any evidence it does?

> but how do *you* know turning it off stops them using it in that way?

In general, OS users of whatever stripe (Windows Linux or Mac) never
actually know what their OS is doing.

What, you think malware can't be installed on Linux that hides its
activities or disguises them with innocuous file and process names that
few people would ever catch?

Lookup hidepid.

do
$ps -e

Do you recognize every process?

I just did it on my WSL Ubuntu install.
It lists:
PID CMD
250 subiquity-serve
253 unattended-upgr

Never heard of them.

Did you review all the open source code, and compile it all yourself?

Fact is, very few Linux users even know if the distro they install was
actually built with the exact source files at the distro maker.

MS/Windows hides *everything* inside compiled, proprietary code. And
who tf knows what's happening in all those 'Service Host' processes.

It's all based on trust.

And I'm not worried. I definitely trust MS and Linux distros not to
collect or sell personally-identifying data.

While I would've worded it nicer, I agree that AI isn't super useful and
almost every implementation I've seen has been a marketing gimmick

Idiot.

AI, or more properly, pattern matching, can be quite valuable in
image sharpening, background removal, and other image processing
tasks.

But the big push for "AI," as with all commercial products that
cater to imbeciles (and there are a LOT of those), is to provide
verbal and programming composition which any competent professional,
including myself, would summarily reject.
The imbeciles will love it, at least for a while, because it removes
a creative burden from their otherwise comatose brains.

Can AI replace YOU? I would strongly believe that it can.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

He would be happier dead, no doubt about that.

Feeb's been like this from day one. <technology> is only good when it
does something he likes.

This is his typical brat-faced, dbl-talking idiocy.

Agreed, and /some/ tedious tasks, like captioning.

Yeah, that's the kind I'm frustrated with.

Fear of failure is a real thing, I will say that it could be useful for
getting something out regardless of quality but for most projects just
doing art would be way more beneficial.

As an artist, probably not. Hopefully not.

Unfortunately image recognition starts with the tedious task of
captioning. The 'hello world' of image recognition is a huge dataset of
dogs and cats, each labeled 'dog' or 'cat'. Guess who does the labeling.

Voice recognition is as bad if not worse. There are a variety of accents
to deal with as well as languages. A real problem is the very skewed
nature of the available data. English has the most data while Tagalog data
is sparse/

The 'listen' side is revealing. You're shown the words and listens to the
speaker's pronunciation and score it. Some people try really hard but what
they produce is unintelligible. The 'speak' side can be humbling. I
wouldn't make a good politician since it's apparent I can't read from a
teleprompter :) At least you get a redo.

There are unsupervised learning techniques that do not require massive
amounts of stat but they seldom are in the spotlight. An example would be
a system receiving sound, temperature, vibration, and other data from a
car engine. In time it learns the baseline parameters of a healthy engine
and can raise a red flag when you're getting ready to drop a rod.
