It's not even only about surveillance. Microsoft also makes Github Copilot. Getting Recall onto developer machines gives them the opportunity to train their AI on how programmers actually program, rather than just using an LLM trained on code.
Eventually we'll have programmers with Recall activated by company policy on their PCs, actively training the AI models that will replace their labor.
That has to be part of the goal here. The full automation of software development. Think about how much money Microsoft would make if they did it, and how much they would save if they implemented it.
We need a new Luddite movement to protect the workers from all of this.
