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 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.
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.
