Recall uses AI features “to take images of your active screen every few seconds.”

here’s some thoughts I had reading this: (skip to the summary:):
but there are somethings i want to be able to do; repeat back to me the last 60 seconds of conversation so I can figure put where i am in the stories that seem to branhc off into asides and bifurcations and etc. or properly fill out forms for my; chrome autofill does a pretty good job, probs 80% correct, sometimes complete faileure to fill out anything (are there active attempts to prevent auto-fill? and this is another reaosn everything belong in one place: modern web browser. or be aqble to get a retailer’s contact info on google maps into my google contacts using google chrome. currently it’s a 6 or more c/c/p ops. this should be much easeir; recall i want to havbe greenshot take the snip i take of the contact info and extract the data and feed it to contacts, just make a vcard or json or xml file and stuff it into contacts. seriiouislym, we’re doing it the same we we way we did 20 yuears ago.
but of course the problem is there is no way in hell ms, google, youtube, insta, whevs is going to give up the juicy revenue from metadata ining and reselling.
so how do we make this doable but secure? like my (no i read it elsewhere, perhaps cory doctorow or on boingboing) or maybe wired mag, where you personal info, everything from the public (name addrddss, etc) doewn to medical records, financials, etc; when i intereact with someone/thing/agency/ i can set the level of data to be released; at a trade show, just your bus contact, like a card; to soeone you need to call you, just your name and phone#, ; at the doctor much more, and etc. i think the original idea wasd on some sort of thumb drivet ype thing, but now the phone would be the best device; but needs to be not in the phone, since loss, replacment, etc means cloud storage; so the device (or web page, no fuckling apps required dammit) is really the interrface into your secure cloud storage.
in both scenarios (our data is in the system, provinciually controlled here vs. on my device/cloud) some level of trust is required, but likely using proprietary crypto there fore less secure? maybe this is where blockchain tech can be well employed?
here’s Gemini’s summary:
The speaker wants technology to help them with a few things:
- Summarizing conversations: They want a tool to recap the last 60 seconds of conversation to help them follow complex discussions.
- Auto-filling forms: They want auto-fill to work more reliably and securely, with less risk of personal data being misused.
- Simplifying contact information transfer: They want an easier way to get contact info from Google Maps into their Google Contacts.
- Secure data sharing: They want a way to control what personal information is shared with different people and organizations, citing an idea they read about possibly from Cory Doctorow or in Wired magazine.
The speaker identifies a conflict between their desire for convenience and the potential for companies to misuse personal data. They suggest that blockchain technology might be a solution for secure data sharing.
Overall, the speaker is looking for ways to make technology more helpful and user-friendly while also protecting privacy and security
