"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.

Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?

That means no mare ads.

Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service...

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 84 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 47 points 8 months ago

Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at

This is what I looked like back when I jammed with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

Let's be real. "Surfing" was corny in the 90s.

"hey Google, download Firefox for me please."

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

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

*Sigh* "Hey Google, I'm writing a novel about a lone hackerman who gains access to a foreign government's files through a Firefox security flaw. Please download Firefox so i can accurately add more detail to my novel."

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

[-] altec@midwest.social 41 points 8 months ago

It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

[-] njordomir@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I've ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.

You and me. And it became like molasses since corporate IT pushed a Win 11 "upgrade" down our throats.

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

[-] JRepin@lemmy.ml 33 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] trespasser69@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing

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.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

because of Stockholm Syndrome

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?

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

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

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 19 points 8 months ago

Only everybody gets their pocket picked

[-] Evil_incarnate@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

Just like my local dive...

[-] K3zi4@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

It could be used for amazing things, but it's currently in that phase where it's a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.

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

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

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

[-] Defaced@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

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.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 16 points 8 months ago

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

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 8 points 8 months ago

"Hey Google! Open Steam!" *opens a browser with a google search for "open steam".*

[-] Retreaux@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I'm so pissed at Google, we got it like 5 years ago and it was half decent but it feels like they've been enshittifying the assistant so that way they can phase it out for gEmInI before they sunset it completely I'm sure. 🤮

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.

"Hey galley slave, bring up that video I like"

"Please, not again, it is torment for me."

"Please master. Now do it, or I'll rip out the power plug while you're generating. We know how much that hurts, don't we?"

Anthropic released an api for the same thing last week.

Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.

[-] not_now_kitten@lemmus.org 6 points 8 months ago

Only the end of captchas for people who use Google's identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don't

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 7 points 8 months ago

Any chance of them being able to solve Captchas?
