       For AI agents to be powerful and personal, they will need significant data access. “When we’re talking about an app that might be able to look at your entire computer, that is really disturbing,” EFF’s @cmcsherr told @washingtonpost. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/05/agents-ai-chatbots-google-mariner/

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost And I bet it does that even when you are only looking for a recipe. (For food, FFS!)

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost if I have understood correctly @jolla is working on a thing that does this, but locally. Jolla Mind2 they're calling it.It's a box with built-in AI agents, and nothing gets sent to the mothership.https://www.jollamind2.com/

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost Nope. They can prove it works by providing their data to us and letting the bots play with it.They don't get *my* data for their playground.

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost This is why I don’t use Gmail.Judging by how bad  the data detecting algorithms are at identifying flight numbers and phone numbers, not only are you being spied on, but all the data they are collating about you is most likely inaccurate!Sometimes a string of numbers is just a string of numbers.

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost Like I always say, there's no such thing as AI. The so-called "AI" is merely a very large database, a search engine and an algorithm that translates search results into "answers" that look somewhat like human speech.Now let's take another step. What is a search engine? Essentially, it's a data indexing system.The entire thing has "surveillance tech" written all over it in giant flashing red letters, and the Apple Siri scandal is just the most recent reminder.

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost Yeah, not on my watch. And certainly not on my PC or on my phone. Also Google wants me to create an account so i can continue watching videos on Youtube, which i have done for the last 10+ years without ever been accused of being a robot. There will be world peace before that happens.Yes, i listened to Kraftwerk, but that doesn't count, right?

       @eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost This is only acceptable when done locally and 100% offline.
