When asked about Windows Recall privacy concerns, Microsoft researcher gives non-answer (updated)

Microsoft has revised their stance on how it plans to implement it
A hot potato: Microsoft's Recall feature is being universally slammed for the privacy implications that come from screenshotting everything you do on a computer.

Researchers prove they can exploit chatbots to spread AI worms

Hackers could deploy the worms in plain text emails or hidden in images
In context: Big Tech continues to recklessly shovel billions of dollars into bringing AI assistants to consumers. Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Bard, Amazon's Alexa, and Meta's Chatbot already have generative AI engines.
