    Don’t worry, they’ll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.

      Nah, they’ll kill it after a year due to hard drive costs. Enough screenshots at a resolution high enough to know wtf you’re looking at and still have vaguely usable data would be absurd.

      I could see it rebranded for enterprise usage for businesses and schools though, at an extra cost.

      I didn’t think Linux was going to the the big thing but right now it is “winning” in the sense that it sucks the least.

          Why the project have an Elon Musk xitter in the readme?

    I got as far as the second paragraph, which consists of the following quote from a Google VP:

    “I’m not going to talk about Recall, but I think the reason that some people feel it’s creepy is when it doesn’t feel useful, and it doesn’t feel like something they initiated or that they get a clear benefit from it”

    That’s somehow worse than I imagined. I can at least understand being intentionally sinister, or overtly anti-privacy, but that level of delusion is somehow actually more terrifying.

      This is the company that couldn’t understand why Google Glass failed so hard.

      I can imagine those guys arguing about “legitimate interests” because data that isn’t monetised is worthless or something.

      I know we’re all thinking it, but people paying attention feel that way because… it’s creepy, it’s not useful, it’s not something they initiated, and they don’t get a clear benefit from it.

    Well, why do it then?

    WTF Google, did you really feel that gemini was such a threat that you had to usurp its name?
