@zackwhittaker I mean this is... honestly not surprising. Basically for any company that's actually serious about their own confidential materials etc. etc. would bring e-mail back in-house and run it on-prem in their own hardware. This just reeks. And I have 0 trust in them actually keeping their word about not giving the data to AI to train whatever fancy model's next. The business I operate for has it's main MX in their cloud too.. and we're in finance FFS.
@zackwhittaker Sure, accident 🙄. Definitely not a means to scrape more copilot training data 🤣
@zackwhittaker That's not a bug, it's a feature. 😆
Wait, sorry, I must have missed something about that "confidential" thing. I thought that was a concept of the past, and everybody insisting on it today is at least a suspect, if not a criminal. A "normal" person should have nothing to hide, they say.
Does that mean a big tech company is supporting something against the wish of those in power?
How can it not be a bug?!

Microsoft:
Hey there 🥺I know we keep forcing 🤜🏻 AI down ur thwoat 😏, bweaking ur computah 🤭and our AI Clippy keeps leaking all ur sensitive data 📊but can you pwease spend 💰 moar next year and let us keep fucking 🍆 you???

why bother with 'macrocon' products at all when alternatives like libre office exist?
Corrupt MSN tells people they stole your email data, on purpose, premeditated crime and no punishment.
Yuppp, can happen...
@zackwhittaker Yeah, surely a "bug", ha.
@zackwhittaker *Gasp* you mean you shouldn't trust the bullshit artists when they promise not to use your data too much (and after they made you pay for that promise, in many cases)?
@zackwhittaker Dang, “b-u-g” is a very weird way to spell “totally unanticipated but prolly should have been semi-expected AI fuckup”, but OK…
@zackwhittaker Remember Microsoft Passport? Something something lessons something.
@Sempf i am unfortunately old enough to remember.
nobody's fault, just blame #AI
@zackwhittaker a bug eh? Not a feature, sure, sure
@zackwhittaker I really need to find my surprise face.
Also with bugs like this... How are companies not panicing and begging their engineere and IT to get things running on Linux? This feels WAY more dangerous than working thumbdrives.
@zackwhittaker yeaah """""""""""""""bug""""""""""""""".
@zackwhittaker "bug"...
that's what we're calling it now...
@zackwhittaker Along with the issue where copilot could 'summarize' files without access to those files showing up in the audit log; it looks alarmingly like copilot-related controls don't actually control copilot, just try to pick up the pieces after the fact.
@zackwhittaker also, quelle surprise.
