Microsoft's planned new AI trick for Edge will 'automatically open the Copilot side pane' with Outlook email links — and I can feel the hate already (www.techradar.com)

This side pane will provide 'contextual insights and actionable suggestions', but I'm betting the idea won't be well received

I know what it is, it's the 'summarise page for me' feature. That nobody uses as much as they want. That's why they're forcing it. We need a private email service / frontend / program, i feel like this is going to their servers without oversight. I don't know.

Despite the big AI backlash that started late last year, Microsoft clearly isn't downing AI tools – but did we think it would? No, of course not, as AI agents are the next-big-thing (TM) in Windows 11, and there's no getting around that

So is everything. Just say "install linux now" I guess. Samsung is going 'agentic' AI. On our phones. No privacy, even. Apple enabled the age verification at an os level, besides i also hate how file transfering protocols work on iphones.

This isn't even my phone anymore because AI must access everything. No, no and no.
