The worst part? These are the same people getting their nudes datamined by the trusted and secure hand of their benefactors: https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-settled-lawsuit-womans...

Frankly I feel like we all deserve it, at this point. This shit is just what happens when nobody cares anymore.

Come on. I as a programmer didn't realize Google spyed on me on non-Google websites until maybe 2015 some time when it struck me that the ads matched my Google searches.

I thought the idea of someone spying in poor little me being silly, until embarrassingly late.

With LLMs the spying can take enormous scale. It will most likely get way worse before there is any chance of a recourse ...

Oh yeah, it's headed down the shitter alright.

But look on the bright side; Windows Recall! So many cool features getting made, and with enough AI greasing the wheel you'll have willing customers of brand new spyware. The way things are headed, I don't think we're going to be able to expect the average user to meaningfully resist.
