@mybarkingdogs @wrosecrans @evacide I think the actual use case is transparently obvious: surveillance data harvesting for further AI training.

@datarama For right now, MS is insisting that it won't be used for training. So it seems to be some sort of long term plan to dishonestly insist that it's not what it is. So it's both something their users don't want, and something they are choosing to drag their reputation through the mud to lie about. Which makes me even less excited about the end state.

@wrosecrans I think they, like basically every other large tech company right now, is salivating about the prospect of creating AI that they can sell to other businesses so that they can get rid of their human employees.

If you have *that*, what do you need consumer trust for? Every enterprise in the world is dependent on you now, and you don't need consumers anymore.

(If they can pull it off is another matter. But it's clear that this is the dream.)
