back in my day we called this spyware

#AI #privacy #Microsoft

@molly0xfff No question this could be a violation of privacy. But that violation occurs only if the data is removed from the device. There are amazing potential scenarios with this data, with the very important caveat that it doesn't escape the machine. However I completely understand that people won't trust that this caveat holds. It's just unfortunate that we can't have a discussion of how much potential is indeed possible.

But knee jerk reactions will never allow this discussion to happen.

@scottjenson @molly0xfff what would those "amazing scenarios" look like?

Github Runners. These specific machines are being pitched as AI compute clusters. Not end user devices.
Corporate security is quickly moving to zero-trust and that leaves the node in the employee's possession the least trusted. Staff will not be submitting binaries to repos. Compute will be done in the cloud; arm's-length from anything on your desktop
