So it’ll nag you and toss up „consent“ click-throughs until it wears you down or you fuck up and click the wrong box. THEN it’ll do as it pleases
I already switched to linux, so I don’t care about any of that bs 🙂
They don’t have the goodwill left for people to actually trust that it won’t still access those files or that they won’t reverse their stance in a few months anyway.
LMAO, it’s going to be;
Microsoft Co-Pilot needs your consent to access your files and provide agentic services
[X] – Yes I consent
[X} – Ask me again next time I log in
We will unknowingly give Microsoft universal access in an upcoming TOS.
Maybe before installing any AI as well?
Big Tech and consent, name a more disconnected duo
Welcome to Windows 11, your AI powered agentic OS that optimizes your experience with personalized insights from your pictures, videos, and documents!
[ ] **Let’s get started**
[ ] Skip for now

And then a year from now they change a default setting in an update with little/no announcement that lets the AI access it anyways
Ah yes.
It’s only „Not Now“.
Not „Never allow“.
Fuck off Microsoft.
How long before Microsoft starts charging fees for you to be able to access folders on your PC? Not enough people subscribing to cloud storage so they need to find another way.
Microsoft confirms it will ask consent before AI agents send them your information and then delete it all. 👍
An update will just invalidate any of this at a later time. All it will take is something we all have seen before and just click yes because the long scroll of text for, “ Updating terms of service,” appears.
Still a „nope“
*will pretend to ask for consent.
Fixed that for you guys.
Consent? To get MY files, in MY computer, that is wasting MY energy to do stuff? And out of magnanimity you will let the AI that’s raping my data ask for CONSENT?!
Are you out of your mind, Microsoft?
With no edge cases? No ‚well for security reasons sometimes‘ clauses?
Sorry, Microsoft has behaved horribly for decades, they deserve no trust whatsoever. So actually, not sorry.
Silicone valley has lost its fucking mind over AI
They went all in, high on their own supply, but consumers hate it, it’s fuelled a bubble and it’s caused companies to overwork their employees for negligible benefit
It already regularly nags me to „Finish setting up my PC“. Fuck off, I specifically do NOT want to finish whatever bullshit you are trying to shove down my throat.
Bitching does nothing. They don’t care. They service their shareholders, not their customers. The best thing you can do is switch to an easy to use linux distro like popos, bazzite, or cachyos depending on your needs.
Until an update turns it on and uploads a copy of all your stuff to MS, and their response is “oppsie-doodle 🤭”
„Not now“ instead of „Don’t allow“
it’s going to ask repeatedly isnt it.
Ai proceeds to hallucinate consent
Regardless of your choice, Microsoft will still stealing your data to train their AI.
Even in the screenshot it’s not a “don’t allow” or “never”, it’s a “not now”. This means it’ll harass you about it repeatedly until you either relent or misclick on “always allow”.
And that’s 100% by design.
And then it will do it anyways but „it was a bug.“
…before doing so anyway.
This is one thing that drives me batty about this stuff. After decades of talk about the need for better cybersecurity, more responsible data usage, more user education on how to avoid malicious links, etc… everyone’s all “put all your personal and work data into these engines that everyone has access to and could alter files and open exploits! It’s totally cool because the hype is off the charts!” People used to get fired for what CEOs today are insisting everyone does.
Switched to Linux Mint 3 months ago.
So so happy with it and will never be going back to windows.
I’ve been on Windows since Windows 3.1!!!
and microsoft is known for their security…
I fully switched to Linux Mint this week already. No more dealing with MS bullshit.
Gaming works great with steam and Proton and I was able to find instructions so I can still generate art locally with ComfyUI
This is going to be the same bullshit pulled by office and onedrive isn’t it? Awkward misleading prompts, reprompting after every systems update, etc.
„We’ll let you opt out until the heat dies down then we’re getting that data“
Too late. I jumped ship to Linux.
Consent? I think that word does not mean what you think it means…
Question from Perpetrator: „Would you like me to **** you?“
Available Answers: „Yes“ or „Not Now“ (Maybe Later)
Deciding to simply provide only neutral to positive responses as options is an interesting yet abhorrent way to avoid the old „No means no!“
„Maybe later,“ is not something many people generally want to say as a response to an imminent assault.
I absolutely believe them he’s, corporations never lie
