Google Working on "Project Jarvis" AI That Can Control User's PC
Google is developing an advanced AI system capable of autonomously operating web browsers and controlling computer functions, according to recent reports. Codenamed "Project Jarvis," this technology is expected to debut alongside Google's upcoming Gemini large language model this December. The AI-powered system aims to transform everyday online tasks by handling everything from complex research projects to routine shopping activities. Unlike traditional AI assistants that operate within confined parameters, Project Jarvis would have direct control over browser functions, enabling it to navigate websites, fill forms, and execute commands independently. The development follows a broader industry trend toward AI systems with expanded capabilities, with Anthropic recently demonstrating similar technology allowing AI models to execute tasks directly on users' computers.
For businesses, such advances could simplify operations by automating repetitive tasks and increasing productivity, while individual users might benefit from delegating time-consuming activities like price comparisons or travel bookings to an AI assistant. However, this level of system access raises significant security and privacy concerns. Granting AI systems direct control over personal computers creates new security challenges requiring robust safeguards. Unrestricted access to users' systems could create new vulnerabilities, potentially enabling sophisticated cyberattacks. This heightened risk necessitates extensive security testing and robust safeguards before the technology can be deployed with confidence.

Mint Cinnamon is so damn smooth. Vivaldi/Firefox are great on Linux, Google no longer needs to be in your life or M$ for that matter.

Entire country of Germany's government has also moved to Linux earlier this year. :rockout:
It would seem that I will have to make a hard switch, I don't like how these companies force these "features" down our throats and it takes annoying work arounds to disable or remove, and out of paranoia, I have to continuously check if they remain so after updates.

yes, lots of older games work on Linux Mint Cinnamon - you just have to remember to enable 'Compatibility' mode which turns on proton, its easy to find in the steam settings on linux. it's very similar to steam on windows, but there is an extra option in settings, you will see it
Creating AI-based malware that's so smart it will constantly improve all on it's own so you'll never be rid of it.

Fixed that for you.-cough- Mr Lynx.
virus"AI" program doing it for me.Instead they will create a need for your computer to include a new chip, which you will pay for, and do the processing there, which you will also pay for.

:pimp:
EDIT: And don't worry about them not getting your data, because they will. The only difference is what it'll cost them, which is less. :laugh:
