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.

    Also since you mention a steam account, do you think they’re not harvesting your data so they can sell you things ( at the very least ) ? Why are you giving up on privacy?

    First, I do not want Nvidia to take all my data, but I trust Valve. I do not think Valve is feeding user data into Ai and sell the data to customers. Yes, at this point this is speculation. I mean do you trust your personal information Valve or Microsoft more? This is a similar situation here, I have 0 trust in Nvidia at this point.

    Point is if you’re online your activity will be monitored. If you want privacy play offline games on an offline machine, preferably on linux. Otherwise start to think about all the tools you use and if them harvesting your data is worth what you get in return

    That’s not the point of my discussion. This is specifically about Nvidia, if they are spying and selling data, training their Ai with it. And I believe they do. And that would bug me. Playing games on Steam (online or offline) does not imply Valve does this what Nvidia does or is even capable of. Valve in example does not even have footage of the game I play or what I type in the private chat in example.
