Q & A

  • What is the AI feature 'Recall' that Microsoft has been discussing and demoing?

    -Recall is an AI-based feature that Microsoft has been showcasing. It monitors everything a user does on their computer, allowing the AI to provide context-aware assistance when users ask about past activities.

  • How does the 'Recall' feature work in terms of context retention?

    -The 'Recall' feature works by taking screenshots of the user's activities every 5 seconds, storing these images to provide contextual information when the user requests information about something they did previously.

  • What are the privacy concerns associated with Microsoft's 'Recall' feature?

    -Privacy concerns arise from the feature's ability to record and store user activities. There are worries about potential exploitation of this data, and whether Microsoft can be trusted to protect such sensitive information.

  • Why is the 'Recall' feature set to be opt-out rather than opt-in?

    -The script suggests that the 'Recall' feature is opt-out, which may be seen as unusual and potentially intrusive. It raises questions about why users are not given the choice to opt in and whether this approach is designed to encourage more users to keep the feature enabled.

  • What is the potential issue with the 'Recall' feature being accessible to administrators?

    -If an administrator has access to the computer, they can potentially view the screenshots stored by the 'Recall' feature, even though the data is encrypted and not supposed to be accessible. This could lead to privacy breaches, especially in a workplace setting.

  • How does the 'Recall' feature compare to other AI assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa?

    -While Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa also collect data to provide personalized assistance, the 'Recall' feature is distinct because it involves taking and storing screenshots of user activities, which can feel more invasive and raise additional privacy concerns.

  • What is the potential risk if an employer requires the 'Recall' feature to be enabled on company computers?

    -If an employer mandates the use of 'Recall' and has access to the data, it could lead to a significant invasion of privacy, as they would have the ability to view all activities performed on the computer, including personal and non-work-related actions.

  • How does the 'Recall' feature handle sensitive information like passwords?

    -The script mentions that if the 'Recall' feature takes a screenshot while a password is being entered with the 'show password' option enabled, that password could be stored and potentially accessed by administrators or through security breaches.

  • What is the difference between the 'Recall' feature and Google Photos search feature in terms of user trust?

    -While Google Photos search also analyzes user data, it does not involve taking real-time screenshots of the user's screen. This difference might make users more comfortable with Google Photos search compared to the 'Recall' feature.

  • What could Microsoft do to increase trust in the 'Recall' feature?

    -To increase trust, Microsoft could implement additional encryption layers, ensure that data is not stored in plaintext, and provide users with more control over the data collection process, such as an easy opt-out option.

πŸ€– Microsoft's AI Recall Feature: Privacy Concerns

The script discusses Microsoft's AI feature called 'Recall,' which monitors users' activities on their computer to provide contextual assistance. The speaker expresses concerns about privacy, as the feature collects extensive data about users' behaviors. They mention the trade-off between the feature's usefulness and the potential for data exploitation. The speaker also criticizes the opt-out nature of the feature, questioning why it's not an opt-in choice and pointing out the difficulty of opting out during the setup process. They compare Recall to other AI assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, noting that these also collect user data but may not be as invasive as Recall, which takes physical screenshots. The potential for employers to access this data is also highlighted as a concern.

πŸ”’ Potential Security Flaws in Microsoft's Recall

This paragraph delves into the cybersecurity implications of Microsoft's Recall feature. It is revealed that even though the feature's data is encrypted, administrators can access the screenshots in plain text through a local folder. The script discusses the ease with which sensitive information could be exposed, such as passwords and financial data, if the feature is not properly configured to avoid capturing certain applications. The potential for hackers to exploit this feature is also considered, along with the broader implications for user privacy and data security.

10:01

πŸ˜• The Creepy Line Between Convenience and Privacy

The speaker contemplates the fine line between the convenience offered by AI features and the invasion of privacy they represent. They acknowledge the cool concept behind Recall but express skepticism about Microsoft's execution and the potential misuse of data. The paragraph also addresses the public's reaction to the feature, with many finding the constant screenshots unsettling.

Transcripts

play00:03

well speaking of things that are

play00:04

everywhere um Microsoft has been talking

play00:08

about and demoing this feature that is

play00:10

everywhere all over your computer it's

play00:13

called

play00:14

recall and it's an AI based feature I

play00:17

would say where basically this is an

play00:19

oversimplification but what it's

play00:21

basically doing is watching everything

play00:22

you're doing on your computer so that

play00:25

anytime you want to ask the AI about

play00:27

something that you done previously it

play00:29

has that context and can tell you so you

play00:31

could go what was that movie I was

play00:33

looking up yesterday and then it can

play00:35

just oh oh I remember I took a

play00:36

screenshot every 5 seconds for the last

play00:38

15 years I remember exactly what you're

play00:40

talking about and it can tell you and

play00:42

this goes back to my theory about AIS

play00:44

which are it has to know a ton about you

play00:46

to be helpful and so here is an exact

play00:49

representation of that tradeoff this is

play00:52

probably a very helpful feature but it

play00:54

knows everything you do on your computer

play00:57

and it's up to Microsoft to protect that

play00:59

information somehow and naturally all

play01:01

the articles about how uh it can

play01:03

potentially be exploited can I bring up

play01:05

a tweet I had about this that had a lot

play01:07

of I don't want to say backlash I think

play01:09

it was like all super super reasonable

play01:12

responses to it that I agree with all of

play01:14

them but I just said like I see why

play01:16

people hate this it feels creepy but I

play01:19

think it's awesome and could be useful

play01:21

um and then I also said I don't get why

play01:23

it's not opt in defaulting it is really

play01:25

weird and like I still think there is

play01:28

some kind of interesting things about

play01:29

this it feels almost like a

play01:31

fear-mongering tactic of like if you

play01:33

don't have this enabled what if you get

play01:34

to that point where you realize it could

play01:36

have been useful and then you're like

play01:38

wish I had that enabled and then you

play01:39

enable it but I do agree with everything

play01:42

that's been said which is one Microsoft

play01:45

claims they're not scraping data from it

play01:47

but like why should we believe a

play01:49

trillion dollar company that is telling

play01:51

you they're not going to make money off

play01:53

of something that could make them money

play01:55

always be skeptical of that it does seem

play01:59

like a like it's just watching you all

play02:02

the time that's weird you can disable

play02:04

some things uh so it's not looking in

play02:06

like certain apps and stuff and then

play02:08

also I don't get why it's opt out and

play02:11

not only is it opt out it's it like pops

play02:14

up in a screen when you're setting up

play02:15

the new thing and says what it's doing

play02:17

but there's no slider to agree there you

play02:20

have to go into the settings after you

play02:22

finish the setup and actually opt out of

play02:24

it which all feels really sketchy let me

play02:27

play Dell's Advocate it's an OP out

play02:30

feature that knows everything that's on

play02:32

your device but is an assistant that can

play02:34

help

play02:35

you so is Siri so is Google assistant so

play02:40

is

play02:42

Alexa none of those are taking

play02:44

screenshots of your bank information so

play02:46

I think the way they describe it of

play02:47

taking screenshots makes it feel worse

play02:50

100% but how does Siri not have all of

play02:54

the same downsides Siri plugs into your

play02:56

contacts knows all of your contacts it's

play02:58

not screenshots but it knows all of your

play02:59

contact it knows everything about all

play03:01

the things you've ever asked Siri to do

play03:03

all the quer you've ever had and it's

play03:05

all encrypted and on device and

play03:08

shouldn't ever be sold to any

play03:09

advertisers it still doesn't have

play03:11

screenshots of my bank

play03:13

account and other like right is that I

play03:16

think the main thing is that these are

play03:17

physical screenshots of things you do on

play03:19

your computer my bigger concern is that

play03:21

this is Microsoft which traditionally

play03:24

has made all of its money from

play03:25

businesses and like getting fleets of

play03:27

computers to businesses and

play03:30

what happens when your employer is like

play03:33

you cannot turn this off and I have

play03:35

access to everything that you've ever

play03:36

looked at on your

play03:38

computer so your employer just has like

play03:40

unfettered access to your it's like one

play03:42

of those things where you're like I

play03:44

don't want you to see

play03:46

everything but then it like obviously

play03:48

everybody at some point during their

play03:50

workday is doing something not work

play03:52

rated and that's just what happens in

play03:54

real life but like you feel you can't

play03:56

like run what I'm ordering Taco Bell

play03:58

right now on this podcast theoretically

play04:00

shouldn't be able to like remotely

play04:02

access it but I did read that if you

play04:03

have admin access you can look at any

play04:07

users stuff yeah okay so what's that so

play04:10

the what I understand Microsoft to be

play04:12

saying is oh yeah this is all private

play04:14

like yes it is using screenshots to

play04:17

remember everything but it's not storing

play04:19

them in some way that could be stolen

play04:21

somehow it's supposed to encrypt them

play04:23

and then no one can ever use these

play04:25

screenshots other than this feature

play04:26

that's how I understand it to be

play04:27

explained but supposed to is heavy

play04:31

lifting yeah what I hear is it's not

play04:32

exactly I feel like a lot of people are

play04:34

getting nervous about this too because

play04:36

everyone understands screenshots if you

play04:38

tell someone that using an Android phone

play04:40

like Google is keeping your data and

play04:42

they're tracking you and they like have

play04:43

all these complicated algorithms that

play04:45

know where you're going algorithms

play04:46

people are like abstractly aware that

play04:48

Google's tracking them but these are

play04:49

like physical screenshots so that's what

play04:52

everyone's like wait I know what that is

play04:53

that's weird I I think that's weird it's

play04:56

it's like if Microsoft was a person they

play04:58

would just be over your shoulder at all

play05:01

times looking at every single thing you

play05:02

do and that's just like feels really

play05:06

creepy every five seconds but so there

play05:08

was there was somebody who's a cyber

play05:10

security expert who was looking into

play05:12

more how uh recall works and what he

play05:15

found is that the even though it's

play05:17

encrypted if you're an admin on the

play05:19

computer there's a local folder called a

play05:21

app data and all of them everything's

play05:23

just listed there in plain text so like

play05:26

if you were an admin on a computer even

play05:28

though it's encrypted from outside

play05:30

if you're in that position on the

play05:33

computer as the user physically or I'm

play05:35

assuming even remote if you're

play05:36

controlling the computer remotely and it

play05:38

thinks it's locally you can just have

play05:40

access to those screenshots and even

play05:42

though you can say like don't take

play05:45

screenshots of you can uh select

play05:48

different programs that you want it to

play05:50

so like let's say you disable Chrome

play05:52

anytime Chrome is open it will take the

play05:54

screenshots but it's not going to show

play05:55

anything that's in Chrome but if you

play05:57

don't it can't tell the difference

play05:59

between what is like a password field or

play06:01

sensitive information field so if you do

play06:04

have show password on or your bank

play06:06

information or venmo or PayPal or

play06:09

anything that has to do with your

play06:10

finances all of that stuff is now stored

play06:13

in a folder that is accessible as an

play06:15

admin yeah I've just been reading this

play06:16

this article which seems insane right it

play06:19

seems incredibly poorly thought out it's

play06:22

extremely poorly I was like is it a like

play06:25

what is a plain text of a screenshot is

play06:26

it literally is it like a hash and then

play06:29

it's you can't get the information from

play06:30

it but it seems like it's literally all

play06:32

of the most useful information is

play06:35

because the way that this feature works

play06:37

is it takes the screenshot and then the

play06:39

AI like interprets the text on the

play06:42

screenshot and the images on the

play06:43

screenshot so that when you ask for

play06:45

things contextually it can pull up the

play06:47

right one that exhibits those features

play06:49

which like in theory this all

play06:51

is cool with as long as you it's like 20

play06:55

asteris yeah yeah it's like at the core

play06:58

this is kind of a cool idea but there

play07:00

are just so many flaws and like creepy

play07:03

and potential security risks associated

play07:05

with it that it's really hard I just as

play07:07

an employee would be absolutely

play07:09

terrified even at home like I would be

play07:11

pretty worried about this just like if

play07:13

somebody does get into your

play07:15

account yeah you're kind of just screwed

play07:19

you're cooked that's you're cooked my

play07:21

other get cooked bro my other dev's

play07:23

Advocate was going to be if someone gets

play07:27

so far into your computer that they've

play07:28

logged into the admin into your account

play07:31

like you're already screwed beyond

play07:32

anything that this could do any employer

play07:35

has the admin access yeah that any

play07:37

employer has an admin access and also it

play07:39

could potentially just literally have

play07:41

passwords in plain text I it's that's

play07:44

what it sounds like it could just have

play07:46

passwords in plain text which would be

play07:47

pretty bad yeah it would have to be in

play07:49

the situation where like you type in a

play07:50

password and it has show yeah and then

play07:54

it takes a screenshot at that time but

play07:55

if it's taking a screenshot every 5

play07:56

Seconds that's something that Happ every

play07:57

five seconds if the screen is different

play08:00

oh if the screen is different yeah Fair

play08:02

it's super plausible that passwords

play08:04

could be listed in there pretty easily

play08:06

especially with how often you have to

play08:07

change them now when I'm double entering

play08:09

passwords in like to confirm I usually

play08:11

have show open just cuz I'm typing the

play08:14

18th iteration of the same password I've

play08:16

had ever and I need to make sure it's

play08:18

actually or you click the little I thing

play08:19

to see if you typed it correctly before

play08:21

you hit enter yeah and there are hackers

play08:24

and stuff that will like Trojan Horse

play08:26

your computer or whatever and then like

play08:27

just wait for you to input this

play08:29

information and like have that access

play08:31

already and steal your information yeah

play08:33

but this way they don't even need to do

play08:34

that yeah they don't have to wait I feel

play08:36

like you're devil's advocate of like

play08:37

you're already screwed when you get that

play08:39

far into it it's like now it's just

play08:41

easier because maybe before they get

play08:43

into it and then it's like well now we

play08:44

have to wait now it's like we get into

play08:46

it and I just have it all and I don't

play08:48

even need to wait anymore it's just mine

play08:50

wow it all feels uh rough and I get I

play08:54

think I'll take back my I think this

play08:56

feature is

play08:57

cool well I think the idea

play09:00

I think the idea is cool and I don't

play09:01

think there's a company out there that I

play09:02

would trust do I also just don't know

play09:05

like from a very theoretical highle

play09:07

perspective it seems like a cool idea

play09:09

but I can't actually Trace back to a

play09:11

time when I would have used this and now

play09:14

that it's out there I bet you'll find a

play09:16

time at some point within the next year

play09:18

where like that may have been helpful

play09:20

maybe but is it worth it we talk all the

play09:23

time about oh like potential like what

play09:26

if the Humane device was recording

play09:28

things and you could be like oh what was

play09:31

oh you know like recall back it's like a

play09:33

helpful memory of something like this is

play09:35

it on your computer and we spend a lot

play09:36

of time on computers rewind pendant that

play09:38

is on your pretty much that was an idea

play09:40

that's why that's why I keep saying the

play09:41

idea is cool but the execution is so

play09:43

hard I I still love the idea of a of an

play09:46

assistant that knows everything about

play09:48

you and can do whatever but we keep

play09:51

asking these assistants to get better

play09:52

with context like even remember the

play09:54

early days of Google Assistant we' we'd

play09:56

want to just say a question and it knows

play09:58

the context the previous question or I'd

play10:01

say who's the coach of the Denver

play10:03

Nuggets and then I'll go how tall is he

play10:04

and it remembers the previous question

play10:06

it's just all about having good context

play10:08

and we want to give it as much good

play10:09

context as possible so it can actually

play10:11

answer but the more context you try to

play10:14

give it the more data the more

play10:17

information it has to know about you and

play10:19

what you're doing and what you've been

play10:21

asking and what you've been trying to do

play10:24

and that's why some of the ones but also

play10:25

a lot of data yeah that's that's

play10:27

basically what it is it's really hard to

play10:29

think like Microsoft says they're not

play10:30

going to scrape any of this data but as

play10:32

a company that's focusing so much on AI

play10:34

how useful would it be to have

play10:36

screenshots every 5 Seconds of everybody

play10:38

that uses your computers companies say

play10:40

things all the time and then they end up

play10:42

having done the thing that they said

play10:43

they weren't going to do all the time

play10:45

that one's just a all the time yeah I

play10:48

think best case scenario is they don't

play10:50

scrape anything right now and then they

play10:52

change their priorities on it and say we

play10:54

are going to scrape on it my tinf foil

play10:56

hat is that they ran out of things to

play10:58

scrape and this just gives them a bucket

play11:00

of more stuff to scrape for a bigger llm

play11:02

is this feature out yet yes like it's

play11:04

officially out the recall I don't think

play11:07

it's officially out yet I think there's

play11:09

some test

play11:10

versions but that computer is not out

play11:12

yet either yeah

play11:13

true yeah so it comes out on June 18th

play11:17

apparently do you think they'll

play11:18

restructure how they do this by then no

play11:22

I think they just what if it's encrypted

play11:24

for real and like every time you want to

play11:26

use this feature you have to like

play11:28

decrypt it about would that make it less

play11:30

creepy name the one thing that could

play11:32

this could do that would make you trust

play11:34

Microsoft doing this well what could

play11:36

Microsoft say that makes you trust them

play11:38

cancel it

play11:40

I I think what he's saying would like I

play11:43

have my own decryption like add an extra

play11:46

layer of friction for me to decry it

play11:48

can't be stored in PL text it has to be

play11:49

stored in an encrypted way that is only

play11:53

unencrypt by some additional

play11:55

steps so it's not actually viewable by

play11:58

anyone and it's not ever uploaded

play12:00

anywhere and it it's useful still yeah I

play12:04

think that's that's the only way to make

play12:05

this work I guess even in that sense

play12:07

though do you still trust that Microsoft

play12:09

being the person who is doing the

play12:12

encryption aspect of it do you trust

play12:14

them to not be I mean as long as it's

play12:16

not some of their some weird encryption

play12:18

algorithm that proprietary to their

play12:20

thing like if they use a regular

play12:22

encryption algorithm that's I don't know

play12:24

about encryption but I would just assume

play12:26

that if Microsoft is selling me

play12:27

something they can have access to

play12:29

if they want to I'm not saying they're

play12:31

going

play12:31

to skepticism has to be there any

play12:35

trillion dollar compan Apple does the

play12:36

same exact thing oh yeah so you don't

play12:38

trust it Apple's so does Google I mean

play12:40

most of them is like I've just taken the

play12:42

the account of like I don't trust them

play12:44

but I like the feature they're doing so

play12:46

I'm okay with that this is just seems

play12:47

like the step further of like

play12:49

information I say that I especially

play12:50

don't trust

play12:52

Microsoft like they are like business

play12:55

business money money money business

play12:57

money and apple is money money Mone

play13:00

money but they are from you we're going

play13:03

to make the money from you not business

play13:05

I think what I read from that is how bad

play13:08

of a PR disaster would it be if they got

play13:10

caught scraping and it wouldn't be as

play13:12

bad for Microsoft as it would for other

play13:14

more consumer facing companies I think

play13:15

it's not as bad for Microsoft because

play13:17

people expect them to be doing it

play13:18

already yeah so no one's surprised if

play13:21

it's a person who buys a Windows laptop

play13:23

and it's like oh Microsoft is very very

play13:25

business focused they're not losing

play13:26

business customers because I feel like

play13:28

it's still would though they wouldn't

play13:29

use I don't think they'd lose business

play13:31

customers cuz the business they might

play13:32

gain some business customers yeah I was

play13:34

going to say the businesses want more

play13:36

unfettered access to that kind of stuff

play13:37

that might be true but I think you're

play13:38

right that like if it was a more

play13:41

personal Computing company like apple

play13:43

which makes almost all of its money off

play13:44

the consumers that would be a PR

play13:46

disaster for them yeah apple gets caught

play13:48

selling your information from your

play13:50

iPhone like a very different very

play13:52

different headlight like when if they

play13:54

would sell like your searches to like

play13:55

some other trillion dollar search

play13:57

company like that would be crazy crazy

play14:00

secretly it would be crazy but it's yeah

play14:02

Google yeah Adam though I think that

play14:04

that was a pretty Salient point about

play14:06

the fact that it is literally

play14:07

screenshots that's something people can

play14:09

understand if they if they were not

play14:11

showing the physical screenshots and

play14:13

they were taking them behind the scenes

play14:15

but like not showing them just scraping

play14:17

them and then deleting them

play14:18

automatically and just saying like we're

play14:20

taking the context off of your computer

play14:22

so you can just search things I don't

play14:23

think people would be freaking out as

play14:25

much as the idea that it's literally a

play14:27

screenshot that you can like View

play14:29

um even though it's the same thing seems

play14:31

too easy yeah yeah they should have

play14:32

explained it a different way they should

play14:34

have just not exped scen AI is doing it

play14:37

all see the screenshots when you the

play14:40

semantic computer vision to

play14:43

reconstruct previous iterations of your

play14:46

activity pixel by pixel to understand

play14:49

how to help you in the

play14:51

future higher Mar taking a screenshot

play14:55

fantastic and and Tech nerds would have

play14:57

found that out and made articles anyway

play14:58

but it would have made less headlines

play15:00

than Microsoft going yeah we're taking

play15:02

screenshots every 5 Seconds what you're

play15:04

doing it is funny that like all these

play15:07

features that we have been saying for

play15:09

literally decades that would be really

play15:10

amazing to have that are in all these

play15:12

Sci-Fi movies and all this kind of stuff

play15:14

now that we're actually starting to come

play15:16

to terms with them existing we're

play15:17

realizing how terrifying they all are

play15:21

have you ever seen

play15:22

her you haven't freaking watch that

play15:25

movie I did watch D I know I was like

play15:27

you didn't you didn't watch d last night

play15:29

you sent me a picture of you not

play15:31

watching Dune no I sent you a picture of

play15:33

me turning on the 1984 version of Dune

play15:35

wow just up until the title card and

play15:38

then one other weird floating guy you I

play15:41

didn't why did yeah you could have

play15:43

watched her you could have watched her

play15:45

didn't watch anything why you guys

play15:46

boycotting this movie right now I'm not

play15:48

boycotting it I'm have a six-month-old

play15:51

it's hard to watch movies do not have

play15:53

the time someday anyway flights coming

play15:57

up I feel like recall is like the

play15:59

computer version of Google photos search

play16:01

like what is my license plate Google's

play16:04

doing this in photos and everyone's fine

play16:06

but I'm taking the photos in Google

play16:08

that's a h yeah Microsoft is taking the

play16:09

photos on this imagine the differ if

play16:12

Google photos was always taking a shot

play16:15

of whatever my camera was seeing every 5

play16:17

seconds I would not trust that anymore

play16:19

that was thing gole the pendant feature

play16:21

or whatever oh the recall pendant that's

play16:24

cuz no one believed that was ever going

play16:25

to work were you going to bring up the

play16:28

the new project the maps feature that

play16:31

you can just open Google Maps and see

play16:33

every single place you've ever been and

play16:35

for how long yeah I find that awesome

play16:38

location I'm more okay with just like my

play16:40

pin being so like I guess I I shouldn't

play16:42

say okay but I know it's happening

play16:44

there's just something more about like

play16:46

seeing what I'm doing every no no no I

play16:49

agreed look at my screen yeah it feels

play16:52

like Google Google knowing that much

play16:54

about where I've been is equally creepy

play16:56

but somehow it's less creepy than like

play16:59

screenshots of my screen all the time

play17:00

yeah like if my Android phone was like

play17:02

not only do I know that you were in this

play17:04

city but here's what you were doing on

play17:05

your phone at that moment I'd be more

play17:07

weirded it's always the things that are

play17:09

like not at the Forefront of your screen

play17:13

that are the most damaging like I don't

play17:15

know if you've ever been like making a

play17:16

video and you need to like screen record

play17:19

your browser and when you open fire

play17:21

it'll be like 16 pages that it thinks

play17:23

you might want to go to and one of them

play17:25

is like

play17:27
