Isn’t this what Recall in Windows 11 is trying to solve, and everyone got super up in arms over it?
I have no horse in the race either way, but I do find it funny how HN will swoon over a feature from one company and criticize to no end that same feature from another company just because of who made it.
At least Recall is on-device only, both the database and the processing.
- mlrtime 1y agoI think it makes sense, many don't have a choice to run Windows (Linux/Mac won't work for them for whatever reason). If MS turned on Recall without a disable (and its not hard to believe they wouldn't, onedrive), people would be upset. With ChatGPT Atlas, you simply uninstall it. done.

- sensanaty 1y agoI'm the last person to defend OpenAI on literally anything and personally I hope they crash and burn in a spectacular fashion and take the whole market down with them, but you at least have a choice in using Atlas as it's simply a program that you install on your computer of your own volition. With Recall, there's no choice, M$ will just shove it down your throat whether you want it or not, and most likely (knowing their history it's pretty much a guarantee) you'll be stuck with the privacy nightmare that is Recall with nothing you can do about it. So the pushback makes perfect sense to me. Also, HN isn't 1 entity, it's many people with many different opinions, you can easily find people who were/are excited about Recall the same way people are excited about Atlas.
