AI note-taking startup Fireflies was really two guys typing notes by hand
And that tall guy buying a movie ticket was just two mischievous kids in a trench coat.

is creating a service that records messages and processes them on a server controlled by the company any different privacy wise than having a person do it? i personally don't think so.
Right? Was thinking the same thing
I was on a call with on google meeting or whatever they call it. It was a group chat what about 10 people on it. After the meeting was over, a coworker and I stayed on to have our own personal meeting We had scheduled around that time anyway.
So, Just us two at this point.
We had a conversation that mentioned by name several other employees and maybe some not so nice things about them, all within a professional conversation of course. Nothing offensive or personal… but still.
After the meeting my coworker sent me a chat message that said, “did you just get an email with the notes of our meeting?”
Somewhere along the line, someone clicked the Gemini notetaking crap. Neither one of us knew that.
Indeed I did, and those meeting notes were very good. It covered everything our initial group discussed In great detail… And even covered our private conversation…
That email went out to everyone who had participated in the meeting.
💀
Good thing nobody ever reads those
I sure hope not
