Google’s AI model will potentially listen in on all your phone calls — or at least ones it suspects are coming from a fraudster.
To protect the user’s privacy, the company says Gemini Nano operates locally, without connecting to the internet. “This protection all happens on-device, so your conversation stays private to you. We’ll share more about this opt-in feature later this year,” the company says.
“This is incredibly dangerous,” says Meredith Whittaker, the president of a foundation for the end-to-end encrypted messaging app Signal.
Whittaker —a former Google employee— argues that the entire premise of the anti-scam call feature poses a potential threat. That’s because Google could potentially program the same technology to scan for other keywords, like asking for access to abortion services.
“It lays the path for centralized, device-level client-side scanning,” she said in a post on Twitter/X. “From detecting ‘scams’ it’s a short step to ‘detecting patterns commonly associated w/ seeking reproductive care’ or ‘commonly associated w/ providing LGBTQ resources’ or ‘commonly associated with tech worker whistleblowing.’”
Second reply as the first was just … Trying to understand your mental state.
Trump claimed multiple times that he loves and admires dictators. Not my claim, his. Trump said he wants to be a dictator. He said he wants to be a dictator for one day. This week he said he would like to add a third term for himself (against your precious constitution that you always love to ignore when it’s inconvenient)
No other president in the history of (mostly rather shitty) presidents has ever done any of those things.
And you want to steer away from Trump to another president when talking about authoritarian?
The guys literally told you he wants to be a dictator, why won’t you believe him?
Why has the US collectively been taking crazy pills making conversations like these even necessary in the first place? What is wrong with you people…
