Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯

I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣

What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡

Microsoft are upselling security controls for Microsoft Recall, which allow orgs to limit what it records specifically - if the org pay for Microsoft Purview.

I’ve had a look at how this works under the hood, it is using undocumented features in Recall. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-recall-get-started

Get started with data loss prevention protections for Recall

This article describes the prerequisites and policy configuration to help protect against sensitive information being included in a Recall snapshot.

A poll from teabree-shark asks:

Do you think Microsoft understands consent?

The only two options are
"Yes", which has 0.8% of votes;
and "Remind me in three days," which has 99.2% of votes. — A poll from teabree-shark asks: Do you think Microsoft understands consent? The only two options are "Yes", which has 0.8% of votes; and "Remind me in three days," which has 99.2% of votes.

Continue, or "try it now" a popup from Gmail now asks, offering to compose your next message with Gemini. I guess the tiny "x" is the "fuck no" button?

From #JimmyWales: "I’m very happy personally that AI models are training on Wikipedia data because it’s human curated. I wouldn’t really want to use an AI that’s trained only on X, you know, like a very angry AI… But you [AI companies] should probably chip in and pay for your fair share of the cost that you’re putting on us.”

#Microsoft is phasing out its library -- print and digital books, and subscriptions to print and digital journals and news media. It's asking employees to use #AI instead.

PS: I'd call this a strategic opportunity for its competitors. But some benighted school administrators will follow suit, as if Microsoft must know what it's doing. Dog is my copilot.
