    I for one am shocked that a company as respected in the AI space as Microslop™ would put a half-baked privacy-invasive program like this on their store.

    This seems like the kind of thing they would package straight into the OS with no disclaimer and no means of disabling.

    Maybe a cyber-mafia infiltrated MS to grab some user data? Stuff like

    • setting itself to autostart
    • hijacking the keyboard to make copies & screenshots
    • encoding it in base64 (to avoid detection)
    • using WebSocket (to work around proxy blocking)

    sounds pretty much like from a malware playbook. At least not an accident.

      Yeah, that really does not look good. Something like that should never have been released in that state and that is a serious problem with processes.
