Summary
Today, that applies to OpenAI, which has quietly introduced an opt-in research preview called Chronicle. "Chronicle augments Codex memories with context from your screen," the company explains in its documentation. For those who have forgotten or may have missed the outcry, Microsoft in 2024 introduced a Windows feature called Recall that takes screenshots of the user's desktop environment every few seconds and saves the results to disk. The cybersecurity community promptly piled on, describing Recall as a keylogger, a privacy nightmare, and litigation bait. Nonetheless, browser maker Brave went on to offer Recall screenshot blocking, which looks like a worthwhile endeavor given their own tests that found Recall saving images of credit card numbers and passwords despite supposed sensitive information filters.
