People: "Machine learning needs to be entirely local and controlled by the user, not done in the cloud!”
Microsoft: “Here's a machine learning system that's entirely local and controllable by the user”
People: "Not like that".
(Snarky comment, but a serious point: machine learning *should* be local, not cloud based, and it *should* be controllable by the user. This *can be* useful tech. Do I trust MS to do it “well enough”? Nope. Is it still a step forward that it can be done? Yep.)
