If you understand the security implications, you probably won’t enable it.
If you understand that you won’t be installing anything from Microsoft any time soon
It’s Microsoft malware. Do you really think the user needs to enable it?
Yeah the malware is called Windows 11
Microsoft is officially in love with AI.
Glad I left.
I’ll never enable it precisely because I understand the security and privacy implications. Windows would be a nice OS without all this crap, bloatware and services to “improve the user experience” and which nobody needs.
Well at least they make malware installation automatic now. I’m sick of having to download and install it myself.
Now they say only enable it if you understand the security implications, but eventually they’ll downplay the security implications and enable it by default.

Good news, everyone!
At this rate we might finally see the year of the Linux desktop. I don’t know anyone who likes Windows 11 it’s been bad enough to convert even die-hard Windows fans to Linux
More likely the year of the OSX desktop, at least in the workplace.
As much as I’d enjoy getting to work with more Macs I don’t think workplaces will deploy them at scale for the cost alone
What other options are there. Businesses aren’t gonna use Linux and Windows is quickly becoming an unviable product.
Everywhere I have worked defaults to windows but uses Linux for actually critical stuff. Apple is not even in the conversation.
I work for a fortune 500 and we have a Linux program. It’s still in the testing phase, but it is being tested.
Actually, according to IBM, Mac’s are cheaper in the long run. Increased productivity due to less downtime, and lower ongoing support costs show Macs can be cheaper.

Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.
They should put that disclaimer on their entire operating system.
“Only enable this feature, if you’re a total moron.”
More like “Do not enable this feature” because if you understood it, you simply wouldn’t. Or “uninstall this operating system”. That’d be more accurate.
What a world we live in where not only does something like this happen, but that it’s allowed to happen. Companies don’t even get a slap on the wrist anymore, they can just do whatever they want now without any repercussions, that’s what’s really scary about this.

Waiting for my bank to warm me that their new and mandatory AI advisor might send my savings to a nigerian prince without my or the banks knowledge. Such transactions are not insured and all risk lies with the customer of course.
Except they’ll just do it without any warning.

I mean, a browser can also install malware on your PC
Yeah, but there is a big difference between you going to Google looking for Nvidia drivers and downloading them from nvidia.definitelynotmalware.me versus asking AI to download the Nvidia drivers and it pulling them from nvidia.definitelynotmalware.me without telling you.
New technology brings new problems.
