Why does #Microsoft want to implement #Recall? It's not about *images*. It's about modelling what workers do on Windows, and then replacing them.
The most expensive part of a computer is the fallible feelings-filled unpredictable meat sack that operates it.
Google has YouTube, Google Photos, Maps, and a bucket load of search data, Google Analytics, advertising, as well as it's #GCP data (e.g. #STT transcriptions). And a bunch of data from Android services. From this data they can model speech, model videos and model advertising systems, and how humans respond to them.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Amazon has Prime data, and a bucket load of compute. But no operating system data. They can build models based around e-commerce and advertising systems.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Meta has *waves hands* enough analytics to model human behaviour in the Metaverse.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Microsoft has GitHub.
Microsoft has LinkedIn.
Microsoft has SharePoint.
Microsoft has Teams.
Microsoft has Dynamics.
Microsoft has O365.
Microsoft has Windows telemetry data.
Microsoft can model what people do on (Windows) computers. Like fill out spreadsheets.Write emails. Synthesize web pages of research. Interact with colleagues on Teams. Create and edit documents.
Microsoft wants #MicrosoftRecall data so they can model what people *do* with operating systems.
Then replace them.
Imagine a CoPilot that doesn't just write buggy code. Imagine one that also does spreadsheets. That creates documents on SharePoint. That communicates with colleages on Teams. That has a customer pipeline on Dynamics.
That's what Recall is about - 360 degree surveillance of the worker, to model their functions, make them fungible, replicable - and replaceable.
为什么罗技的鼠标在 macOS 上就是没办法使用的比较舒服呢?一方面罗技自己的那个 Logi Option+ 软件实在是太糟糕了,写的肥大臃肿,运行在后台做着一些它不应该做的事情,比如最近我发现为什么我的家目录下面老是出现一个 ai_tmp 的文件夹,搜了一下才知道这是 Logi Option+ 似乎在测试的一个 AI 方面的功能,你一个鼠标你在我电脑上搞什么 AI?未免离谱到令人发指。我终于把它卸载掉,然后这回真不打算重新装回来了。幸运的是社区有别的替代方案叫作 Mac Mouse Fix,开源。都挺好,鼠标滚轮滚动的感觉也没啥问题,就是它在当我用滚轮做一些缩放的操作的时候,就歇菜了:它没法缩放的足够精细。比如在 Firefox 里,Ctrl+滚轮放大页面,滚一点点它就放大到要溢出屏幕。这时你吓得感觉往回滚一点,这回它又缩小到成蚂蚁。就它在缩放的操作上变得过于灵敏。转到 Linux 上,罗技 MX Master 3 没装任何软件,使用 KDE 原生的鼠标设置,我只需要把默认的值稍微调小一点之后,不管是滚轮滚动页面上下,还是 Ctrl+滚轮在 Firefox 缩放都非常顺滑。但在 macOS 上就是各种问题,这是为什么呢。
况且电子书目前还是处于那种有些人会说“电子书的好处在于免费”的情况。亚马逊退出中国之后,更没办法找到电子书的正版购买渠道。市场上有这样大的一个空缺:我想要电子书的便携,我也想要支持正版。但出版行业却苦于盗版的问题,似乎没有能力和动力去补上这个市场空缺。做电子书全被你们盗版个精光不剩,那我何必去做呢。那种你买了电子书我给你个文件你下载了看,而不是像微信读书的平台化、订阅制、“租看制”,确实难逃被盗版的命运。 但这个问题真的无解吗?
