    I really hope this goes somewhere.

    Not because I have any sympathy for the shareholders, mind you, fuck absolutely everyone involved. But I think it would be very funny to make Apple prove in court that AI is such dogshit it would’ve hurt the product more to implement it than not.

      Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

        I’m surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say “look how the sales numbers haven’t changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!”

        I mean you do have a messaging problem. Your leadership has received bad messaging about what “AI” can do!

          If they are anything like the leadership at my company they have received plenty of information about what AI can do from that IT, but you see they went to this convention in Las Vegas and some self-styled “business guru” told them everything they wanted to hear.

        Advertise more and sell harder. Who cares what kind of trash the customers end up buying, bevcause only profits matter.

      The overpromising is criminal despite what the actual law says. Let the companies pushing AI beyond it‘s boundaries bleed.

      The bad thing is that Apple would introduce Recall for all its devices in the future, just to keep its shareholders happy.

        Local Snapshots have been available on OSX and MacOS since 2011 as long as you use Time Machine to make backups.

          There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.

          Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.

          This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

            NTFS has that exact feature too, a log of file operations on the disk. They’ve had it long before Recall was a thing.

          I’m referring to Microsoft’s AI Recall, but Apple should apply it to its MacOS or all its devices.
