My fucking god what a disaster.
The bug “allowed Copilot Chat to read and outline the contents of emails since January, even if customers had data loss prevention policies to prevent ingesting their sensitive information into Microsoft’s large language model.”
Microsoft says Office bug exposed customers' confidential emails to Copilot AI | TechCrunch
Microsoft said the bug meant that its Copilot AI chatbot was reading and summarizing paying customers' confidential emails, bypassing data protection policies.

We let corporations get away with too much fuckin shit. Nothing specific, just, they seem to get to do whatever the fuck they want and we thank them and ask for another.

I watched one clip of both marvel rivals and deadlock and every single character on screen was saying all of their catchphrases at once and I absolutely could not bear that auditory hell.
This is why I just recently dropped a game 😂😂😂😂
Like we don’t need banter every second silence is okay haha

THIS. There's a few peeps I -used- to be friends with who use genAI. Past Tense.
If you use genAI to create "art" for you, you are my enemy. Full stop. Not just because it was never -yours- in the first place, but because you actively harm one of the most important things we have left!

I'm sorry I can't be there for those attending, I wish I could get my hands on that Neuromancer print myself!
If you're at #Harmonycon this weekend, how about picking up some Vintage Cyberpunk autograph art at the VIP tables? Made by yours truly without the aid of evil AI overlords!

If this is what “open and constructive dialogue” looks like, it may be time to listen more closely.

That’s not the argument. The argument against GenAI is that it’s theft.
The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.
