I’m going to copy paste a reply I left somewhere else. This was for iOS AI, I’m unsure what the implemention for macOS is. If they are scanning everything then I do not support it.

From what I saw,

MS Recall is a 24/7 AI monitor system that captures everything you look at and saves it for later. They didn’t even do the bare minimum for protecting the data, it was just dumped in an unencytped folder where anyone get wholesale access to the data. All trust has been lost.

Apple is using AI as a tool to improve specific tasks/features that a user invokes. Things like assistant queries and the new calculator. They have said some promising things in regards to privacy, specificly with the use of ChatGPT - any inquiry sent to ChatGPT will ask the user permission first and obscure their IP. This shows they care enough to try, they have not lost our trust - but we remain skeptical.

If apple tries the same thing by scanning everything wholesale, then that’s getting over shadowed by the promises made by the implentaion on the much more popular iOS.

• you walk into another room, but can’t remember why you’re there.
• You go downstairs to grab something, do 5 other unrelated things, go back upstairs and immediately remember why you went down in the first place.

Me: when you’re ready let’s do the thing we’d agreed we wanted to do around now.

Them: okay. (drops everything)

Me: okay…I knew you’re in the middle of something, I can wait 5 minutes.

Them: ugg, no, its fine let’s just go now.

(Later with someone else)

Them: Ugg, I always feel rushed to do things with [me].

Other: you know he’ll will wait for you right, its not a big deal.

Them: I know, but I feel bad. I dont like wasting his time…(he doesn’t have a lot of it left).

“Nope sorry, for accessibility reasons we decided these particular buttons, and only these buttons, need to have the full name as big as possible, a real-time info lines, and an absurd amount of space around them”

I can solve problems and always get my work done, but I don’t even know the language/framework I use daily well enough to explain what’s going on, I can just do things.

Solving problems and getting a result that someone else is happy with is 90% of engineering. No one knows everything, your job is to use what you DO know to figure something new out.

The last 10% is what you need to work on - being able to confidently explain to a boss what you do in way that they understand while sounding complex enough to justify your pay and subsequent raises.

In time you will learn whatever system your using.

However, on the flip side, if the current job isn’t getting you anywhere and everyone there sucks. Leave, take the better paying job for a little while, continue working on your skills and look for a engineering job elsewhere.

I started on the windows 95/XP, but still hit Ctrl+s after every few sentences. It’s just part of typing to me. It confuses google docs when I try to save out of habit.

There’s a chat emoji? I just didn’t vote in categories that I hadn’t played any game in.

There is an option to skip…people just dont use it.

It even says “currently unavailable”!
