Imagine knowing what every user is doing? What they read, what they play? What pictures they take? What websites they prefer? Where they get their news? Who they speak with? Their social graph? Where they shop? How often? What their finances look like? Who they work for? What they do for them? How connected they are? How that company is doing? What their quarterly report look like before they make it public? What their plans are for those upcoming layoffs? Who they do business with for importing? What the next big thing they’re designing is?
What Microsoft is attempting to do is to create a planned economy that only benefits the rich. They’re trying to do the thing they always complain is bad about Communism, but do it in a way that gives the rich people control.
We are living in a trap and Microsoft must be eradicated from all computers and networks. OpenAI too.
