It is, but I suck at it. Hopefully, someone will grab the screenshot and make it into a meme.
It's extra funny that the PR drone MS have wheeled out has the last name Faehl - how's that pronounced, I wonder... Could it be fail?
Fitting really...
Personally, I'm deeply entwined in the MS ~~product stack~~pillar of turds and I hate it. They appeared to gave made an honest effort after the trustworthy computing initiative, but that has clearly been eroded...
Why they've got everyone's trust, I just can't understand. Convenience trumps everything else, I guess...
Not just the US.
My manager literally cannot figure out how not to have a giant age of empires ad coat her screen. Microsoft Windows is totally a product you've purchased for the sake of handling your business. /s
It's more like a whole series of legal covers for everyone involved up and down the chain if things go sideways.
Many governments have that same problem. I'd actually consider it a bigger problem for those other governments.
Remember the South Park movie, when they wanted to invade, and when their visualisation failed, called for Bill Gates?
"It is faster, over five million-" Gunshot
That scene, https://youtu.be/6ovsKnljcIk , was a reference to this actual event, https://youtu.be/IW7Rqwwth84

The US Government Has a Microsoft Problem
Microsoft has stumbled through a series of major cybersecurity failures over the past few years. Experts say the US government’s reliance on its systems means the company continues to get a free pass.
US government does not have a public fund or tax to pay for the development of a government sanctioned Unix/GNU operating system by a US company. Once that happens, then this issue goes away.
In reality it is more complex. However, I know the air force uses a ton of Linux and related tools such as Kubernetes and Samba. Who would've thought a fighter jet would be running kubernetes
redhat is just sitting right there.... waiting,
Not the greatest company to work with
Well, it was. It's not the reliable, stable OS it was only a few years ago. It has really pushed the envelope for stupid since its first foray into Dumb for EL6.
Yeah. This irks me even more because the US Gov:
A. Has laws that could have prevented IBM from buying RedHat.
B. Knows it relies on RedHat for securing critical systems.
C. Didn't do shit about the purchase.
Ideally, each government would look out for the public's interest, in these things. But in this case, it failed to even look out for it's own interests (which would have aligned, in this case).
You are assuming the various departments talk. It is kind of a love hate relationship.
US Government: “Anti-trust? Pfft, keep that ~~bribery~~ lobbying train coming and we will absolutely trust you.”
The Public: That’s not what “trust” means… oh…
"We stopped applying antitrust laws because they were hurting trust in corporations"
I wonder when chat gpt being included in everything will backfire. How many requests are being sent to a multiple servers that people are unaware of and how secure are those servers?
Google is worse
Google is bad, but it isn’t being integrated ant the operating system level.
That's true but they they were the pioneers in surveillance.
Local government is also having this issue. Lots of cities don't have the resources so will probably throw a lot at gpt...which means a very large attack vector.
Yeah my company enabled the use of copilot with our corporate Microsoft accounts. I don't understand how you can open such a massive can of worms to ALL your users. It's pretty much begging for information to completely leave corporate control. It's absolutely insane.
For most commercial products they offer what they call Copilot with data protection.
I hate that they are shoving it down everyone's throat but data leakage is a primary company concern that they have addressed.
Now, how much that is true on the backend is anyone's guess, but they're selling something that they could be held legally accountable for.
Especially since you can have self hosted versions.
I mean they've been doing multitenancy in Azure for a while.. I'd be pretty surprised if the data input from copilot was not handled in the same manner.
I asked copilot how to turn off copilot, and it responded with "It is probably time to change the question topics"
I'm afraid I can't do that ~~Dave~~ BCsven
Pretty much the responses I got trying to force it to tell me.
This is dumb copilot. Smart copilot will just open up tik tok to whatever your brain can’t resist and you’ll forget you even asked.
Jokes on you I'm immune to propaganda 😹
Believing you're immune makes you particularly vulnerable, because it may hinder you from noticing that you're wrong. None of us are above deception or manipulation, and to assume otherwise is to let down our guard.
NAWWWW no way, I am so immune that I 💯% believe that I am immune to COVID, AIDS, and even Assburgers.
Edit: are people this dumb that I have to put a /s /j on these comments.
Worse, the communication isn't through some finite algorithm... It's this amorphouse agent that can be tricked to saying things it's explicitly designed not to say.
I will die of laughter if someone manages to trick copilot to get data stolen from the USA (or another countrie's) government by M$. Not saying it will happen, but knowing GPT... Just imagine the memes
How long til CoPilot coughs up Windows 11 source code, or something like that? That's what I want. Accidental open sourced windows from overzealous implementation of AI by Microsoft.
😙🤌
That's not quite how it works
Reload in "Reader View" or something similar, the paywall is weak.
