It supposed to be local.
- skydhash 2y agoWhich is equally bad. Why am I wasting CPU power on that?
- goalieca 2y agoIt sounds like an unnecessary security nightmare. Someone will figure out how to tap into this.
- moffkalast 2y agoI think someone quickly realized it was all being stored in an unencrypted database on the machine when the first version launched, so anyone with direct access can just list through the whole thing.
- kobalsky 2y ago~~it's supposed to be optional.~~ it's supposed to be local. <------ YOU ARE HERE you can supposedly disable it. it's supposed not to send your information to the cops if it's sees you being naughty.

It's available to third-party affiliates. A handful of resellers are affiliated. Insurance companies, employers and law enforcement have as much of a right to buy the information as anyone else.
- School-Cotton 2y agoThere's another step: "Okay, it'll send your information to the cops, but only if it sees you doing something REALLY, REALLY bad, and we pinky-promise we will not let cops in authoritarian countries decide what that means". (Remember the iCloud photo scanning controversy?)

- lostmsu 2y agoDid you mean "opt-in" rather than optional? Optional is the same as "you can disable it". Also, you scratched it out. Are you sure they just enable it without asking? The link above even has a screenshot.

- KTibow 2y agoWhat makes you say that it uses OpenAI models? From what I understand right now it only has search functionality, which could be easily done with a local embedding model (similar to the open-weights CLIP) and possibly OCR.
