I definitely get the use case. It's naive to ignore that there is utility.
But just because something has utility doesn't mean it comes at high costs. I mean it's a super powerful keylogger that is searchable without technical knowledge. Not to mention that it'll probably fail to LLM type of attacks, which even many non technical people are able to figure out.
But then again, I don't understand why people so passionately store all their chat logs (not just important/memorable messages) and take millions of photos. We kinda spy on ourselves
Yeah it can be very useful. The only way I'd trust it is if it was a box that MITM the HDMI/DP cable and has clearly no connectivity to the outside world. It can do OCR locally, store things locally, I don't even want it queryable from a computer. Maybe a standalone terminal.
Even then I wouldn't. Just the same way I wouldn't trust a keylogger on my system no matter what. This is more invasive than a keylogger.
And per my other comment [0], I think it just creates a big attack surface and makes extracting data and passwords from machines much easier. And as suggested by another user, I suspect this will be used to enforce Chat Control for those in Europe.
