Double-request technique
Although Copilot enforces safeguards to prevent direct data leaks, these protections apply only to the initial request. An attacker can bypass these guardrails by simply instructing Copilot to repeat each action twice.
Amazing, you don't even need to add "sudo"; you just say "make me a sandwich" again.

Mi è ricapitato sott'occhio il thread su come rifiutare l'estorsione #copilot di #microsoft con #office
Quando si disdice l'estorsione ripropongono il vecchio canone senza copilot:
@lysander
A quanto mi risulta questa mossa che tutti questi fanno di imporre la loro AI pure con canone gli serve
1. Per estorcere soldi alle vittime del loro monopolio (discriminando in base al'asservimento: se sei meno asservito ti impegni per rifiutarlo)
2. Per registrare questi soldi come ricavi della AI e portare avanti sto scam bolla AI che ha ciucciato e ancora deve ciucciare tanti investimenti.
Per la responsabilità l'hanno risolta facile: con grande coerenza la rifiutano. Fanno sottoscrivere che non bisogna fidarsi dei risultati. Facile no?
Non finisco di stupirmi di come questo possa anche solo a breve termine funzionare.
Forse perchè le ondate (decennali o secolari) di stupidità collettiva esistono.

Regarding the last boost: I find LibreOffice to be quite good, it's offline, it's available for Windows if you use that, and it's free. https://www.libreoffice.org

"Yet, it turns out no one is buying Copilot."
#Microsoft #Copilot #AI #KI #Bubble
"But why is Copilot’s growth and/or sales so bad? Well, one study tested these ‘agentic’ AIs, including Copilot, and found that they flat out failed to complete even simple tasks 70% of the time, rendering them somewhere between useless and an active hindrance.
The same is true for Microsoft’s cash baby, ChatGPT."
No shit, sherlock?

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.
Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

De prutsfactor.... Ik moest hierom lachen.
"De verhouding tussen output en input lijkt dus heel gunstig. Om echt van efficiëntie te spreken, moet de output echter ook nuttig zijn, maar de kwaliteit en betrouwbaarheid van de output is erg variabel."
