copilot isnt a model. its a front end that lets you pick a model. that table shows usage costs.

Thats your company. Notpad doesnt sync for the rest of us

I love that they brought it back

There are many flaws. I am in no way cintradicting it or dismissing it.

The security issue, as the blog says, is that it trusts any extension with the id. So if you can spoof the extension you have access.

What i was saying is that its not spyware. Which is a different issue.

You cant access the browser unless you insta the extension. The desktop app just places jooks for the extension if it is ever installed. It wont work with out the extension

i think a lot of their stuff is ai coded.

Its not sketchy just lazy. One observation i have made eith anthropic is that they are great at amking a model but louzy at app development. There apps tend to have that “scientist learned python to help them at work” vibe. Which is always a security nightmare.

This blog is on the malwarebytes website. Mslwarebytes says in thr post thst its not fair to call this spyware. This was brought up on the windows side as well.

What is really going on: claude desktop is installing the hooks for the claude browser extension. If you install the browser extension, claude desktop can control the browser. This is the intended behavior so you can have an agent do something like “in the morning, access these three sites, pull down the data and create a newsletter for me” or “please check flight costs throughout the day on these sites” or whatever you want to access the browser for.

This is the whole reason you install claude desktop, to automate your computer.

This is the current web with its social media like life. Say something, be outraged.

But let’s be honest. We really have no idea what to the true story is. There are so many ways to spin a story. Probably both sides fucked up.

The one thing we know is fucked up, is that anthropic is acting like a startup. If they want to work with businesses they need a dedicated support team.

I dont know if its because its bern a long day and i am exhauseted but i am tired of being outraged.

What are you saying? I have a samsung and nothing is backed up to google drive. In fact i just checked after reading the article. Is there another place they backup or are you talking about the backup?

Yeah, i was making a point. I think not reading the article is an analogous to society as a whole taking everything at face value and don’t think for themselves.

I have this fantasy where the person decides to read it to see why i called him a sam altman lover but i know i am just a pollyanna

You love sam altman that much that you have an emotional response to gizmodo giving very valid criticism of him? I’m sorry gizmodo is right and altman is a tool. Please dont worship a man.

I am not saying you should use it, i was addressing app quality. The original commenter wasn’t talking about business practices but app quality. Which is why isaid “privacy aside”. Privavcy is very important and i would never have someone use chrome or edge but that wasnt the topic.

The us internet situation sucks but the author has a complete misunderstanding why. I dont k ow if they are very young or no from the united states but there is big misunderstanding of whats wrong. Its all bad but you need to go back to wwii. You need to talk about the nsa. You need to talk about 9/11.

Also we have fiber, its not shared and they rip up all the roads they want. They are a local company, locally owned.

But if we are being honest, if you don’t care about privacy, it is a good browser. Its better than chrome. You can check the performance of of both on the same machine. It also has better pdf rendering.

What is a fediverse account and how does it differ from have an account on the fediverse loke lemmy?

Yeah i suck with big hands small keyboard – thanks

For the bill in california, the money was tracked backed to meta. This is all about tracking you more.

Never vote for a bill that uses words like “child safety”. They put this in bills they know wont pass with out it.

This was the tactic used in theamaxon superbiwl comer ial where they were partnering with flock to take control of your cameras and spy on you. The comercial was about a lost dog. Lickily, people didnt fall for that.
