Neh google can fuck off with their Ai blood money. It’s going to be a privacy nightmare. Giving Ai agents root level access is the most brain dead and corporate scam to harvest more training data.

Thanks man. This speech is really summing it up very well. Sad that this isn't the type of talk that get the wide spread attention.
TBF she said "something like root access" and I concur with the phrasing. It doesn't matter that it cannot load or unload kernel modules, everything it needs is right there in the user's home. (there's an xkcd comic commenting on that, I can't find it anymore)
In my hobby nerd opinion she also describes it very well. And I fully agree with the sentiment: everything AI stands for, in terms of end user benefit, is the end of digital privacy.
This is the Signal CEO? Or a spokesperson? Going to watch more of this now.
