“spying on you” sounds scary… Until you actually think about the person at the other end. A development team tracking a race condition. A mix of people from around the world doing text tagging on screenshots or transcribing voice recordings.
“Your operating system is spying on you” becomes just a dog whistle for “I’m the main character” types because it immediately fails when you start thinking about how it would have to work.
“But they have all this person information on me and they keep trying to sign me up to OneDrive! Any government could just bribe them and get access to it all!” Yes, and then need to recruit and employ thousands of government workers to sift through it looking for dissidence.
Far cheaper and much easier to go through already state owned information or bribe ISPs or just do what’s always worked and… Make stuff up.
The only real value to this information is trying to work out why the latest cumulative update has introduced a printing bug. Nearly all apps ask for you to turn this on and it’s not so they can get your browsing habits, it’s so they don’t have to respond to thousands of angry forum messages that something is not working and then guide every single one of them through the same 10 steps to collect log files and ask about what they were doing and their environment.

Coding is hard and telemetry is a good way to solve problems. I don’t know how you work on something as complex as an operating system without it.

It does not need to run at every startup, it just needs to run once.
AppXProvisioned packages are those into the system that which are available to install to each new user. I’ve just suggested “an option” which would be running it as a start up script the first time you provision the machine. I think it’s a much better option to use policy.
Updatss to both Copilot applications are performed based on the state of the appxpaclage.
I think thousands of mouse clicks, error messages and browsing history of tens of millions of hundreds of millions of people is a lot harder to use maliciously than people think.
You can see the starting points of the agentic OS, which will serve the vast majority of people. But it is frustrating to see how slow “do this task” prompts are going to progress just because there’s not a lot of good sources for prompts. Apart from asking people wheat prompt they would use and then asking for feedback of what should have happened.

Hi, actual Windows System Engineer here. Both the “Microsoft Copilot” and the “Microsoft Copilot 365”(previously Office Hub) apps have been removable by group policy or Intune configuration policy since mid last year. Previous to that they were also still able to be remove by running the Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage as a start up script, or remediation script. Fun fact, a lot of those “Debloater” acripts are running this command because the massive amount of engineering work done since Windows 7 to make Windows Components modular.

Now let’s review your subscribed folders again, I assure you, you saw that college acceptance letter and filed it and filed it and it’s your own fault for having client side rules.”

With the many attempts in Android to implement this it’s a little shocking that there hasn’t been more work in the open source space, but I guess Ubuntu mobile and Firefox OS couldn’t even make a deny and cost so much to develop

Remember that time that Microsoft sunk a data center in the ocean, proved this was cost effective, was reliable and could scale? And now it’s been five years and nothing happened? Yeah that was annoying.
Anyway their site of glowing press releases is still up for some reason
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 5 months ago:
Computers use electricity to do math. The more electricity you have, the more math you can do. In order to do the math, the electricity is handled in a way that outputs heat. Unfortunately, the most reliable, cost effective and plentiful materials that allow electricity to do a lot of math also get heavily impacted by heat.

The problem is not with crypto itself, it’s with the part of the community (certainly the loudest) who have been telling the public to treat it as an investment asset.

I could make a change org post or I could spend 10 seconds on DuckDuckGo, Geez put a little effort into your fap, my God.
Or even better, it takes about 10 minutes to learn how to host a hugging face model yourself, and you can find tiny models, with safeties turned off that can run on a ten year old laptop. If could spend a little time putting effort into your gooning maybe we could save the Sudan as well but you’re so lazy and dumb we all fucked

Noted.
I calmed down and started searching for some recommendations to counter this view.
Although at the moment I still think The Chinese Room argument doesn’t prove what Searle thinks it does.

Wow, agents built to monitor and reflect human behaviour, accurately model and reproduce human behaviour.
This is what is what shits me off when people complain “Oh this AI isn’t real AI” or “This isn’t consciousness” The limiting factor is is the training data. Humans have just had a few more million years of training data passed on through genetics. It’s replication and fakery all the way down. If this is you, if you fucking need the reassurance that you are better at being fucking conscious compare to a machine fuck the fuck right off and go do something amazing with it then. Compose something. Create something. Feel the wind in your hair and the sand at your feet. Fuck off, we’re all dirt.
