No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

No. Get the hell off my computer and stay off.

Not only is my personal information on my computer, but so is client information and projects that I signed a NDA that only my eyes shall ever see them.

Fuck no; it's a part of why I finally abandoned Microsoft and went full Linux, even though I've got no experience with Linux.

It's been a fun ride; thanks for the push Microsoft.

AI is a way for tech bros to have access to all your data and extract value from that.

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

AI isn't allowed on any of my systems, it's practically the first thing I disable (alongside tracking and metrics, but that's basically the same thing). The only AI I will ever allow would be something entirely offline and self hosted that I have complete and total control over.

Microsoft insisting on cramming this crap down everyone's throats has finally convinced me to go 100% Linux for gaming. I'd rather abandon the small handful of games that won't let you run them under Linux than let MS scrape all my personal data and shove ads into every crack of my OS. It's been going great so far and I have absolutely no regrets. Best of all, not a single piece of AI or telemetry to disable.

The snake: If you let me bite you all of your problems will go away

I've always felt that foxes and snakes get the raw end of the idiom deal. They just do what they do, without malicious intent. I propose a different scenario.

Not only would I never use anything like this, but I'd refuse to buy any device which used this shit.
