"After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information."

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

remember when it was called "surfing the internet", implying a fun activity?

"hey Google, download Firefox for me please."

-"Im sorry Dave, I cant let you do that..."

Cool cool cool cool.

Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?

god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs

Companies are stealing your computer's resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

How do they not get people don't fucking want this. It's like they're in a race to see who cand develop the shittiest product.

These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don't they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.

If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can't trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.

Google doesn't have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can't even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.

Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.

Instead, you can directly give it commands in your browser and it should automatically do everything you need, including filling out forms and clicking buttons. AI-tasked examples include opening pertinent web pages, compiling search data into easily readable tables, purchasing products, or booking flights.

This sounds like it would be great for people with accessibility needs—if only Google was trustworthy and had a fiduciary duty to humanity...

Alas.

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.

Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won't touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.

I still can't work out what I'm supposed to do with AI. There's no advantage in having an AI read all my emails, because the end result is I won't know what my emails are. They may or may not be being dealt with, I don't know.

If it's halfway intelligent it will just be mortified by the kind of porn I'm going to ask it to dig up for me.

Oh sure, next let's have an AI open my Steam and play the games I want for me.

so a legal botnet then

Anthropic released an api for the same thing last week.

Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas

Any chance of them being able to solve Captchas?
