Am I the only one who thinks that Nvidia is analyzing the gameplay footage you play, to feed their Ai tools? And you login with your account in their cloud, in example your Steam account. They have access to everything theoretically. The Ai can analyze everything…
I was about to try the free tier to play games that do not work on Linux. Streaming could be a way to at least play some of the games I could not otherwise. The cool thing is, I have full access to my Steam library and do not need to buy games for this service. But I really dislike the idea that Nvidia could use all of the information to feed their Ai.
Seeing what I play, what I play, how often, when? Basically everything. What is that not privacy at all? They can analyze every key stroke, can read what I do, which games I play, how i decide to do anything. Besides, they would see every chat I do in the games too. They can see my private Steam account in example and could analyze everything on screen. Which is usually only visible to my family or parts only to me.
Using Nvidia GeForce Now is massive privacy infringing, if we believe they do all of this. Or they could if they wanted to, you give them access at least.
Surely they do this with their own graphics cards if they have such software built into GFN then they likely have it built into their Nvidia Drivers for their hardware products?
I don’t understand what you mean by that. So you agree with me. I did not say anything changed because of Ai, and you agree on this. It is privacy infringement. But… with Ai of today, they have a huge incentive and they can actually parse and use the data. I mean is it really that unbelievable? They have the capacity to do it now, before that, they didn’t. So this changed if you ask to me.
I don’t think you’re wrong to consider this a privacy problem, but lots of people happily stream their gameplay publicly, so not everyone’s going to have the same expectation of privacy.

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
How does that affect your privacy?

All of that was the same privacy infringement before AI was involved. I’m asking what changed?

But streaming means they are prepared and they know. Its a decision and therefore not violating privacy, because streaming is not a privacy act.
