Microsoft just announced that screenshots will become one of "Pro" "AI features" (why does it need ai?) as Windows transitions to a subscription model.

Ha! 😂
Good one!

It probably analyzes everything what is going on on the screen making it searchable. The indexing costs resources I suppose. I see Microsoft recall becoming a big thing actually.

Wouldn't surprise me

What is the source?

@whimsical I see people mass revolting against this feature.

But the way microsoft things is the same way all corporations think: psychopathically.

They think, fuck it the boomers will reject it, because they reject what they don't understand, but all the boomers will be dead soon.

Gen x will move to linux, but EEE will get them in the end.

Millennials would reject it, accept they'll all an hero, or are broke anyway, or will die in ww3, so they don't matter.

And gen z will embrace it because all the versions coming out as they come of age, will be subscription-based by default.

@Wisecrack bold of you to assume that capitalists are evern able to think that long-term. All they need is short-term megaprofits. "Make the line go up, Elon. Now."

If you say "well, let's prioritize long-term" or "short-term growth is not sustainable", they immediately eliminate you and appoint new CEO that says "yes, I can make the line go up".

We completely and irreversibly destroyed our planet, but for a very very short time, we made very very big profits for the shareholders.

@kiki btw government by law says a publicly traded company must make as much profits as possible. they can't not do it by law

@jestdotty @chatgpt does the US law says that publicly traded companies must make as much profits as possible?
