microsoft refuses to say that copilot won’t suck in your private, privileged, legally protected data into its stupid AI garbagehole
just astonishing they rolled this out against people’s will and have no way to turn it off

4. Many people with authority at Microsoft have assured me that this “should not” result in any data leakage or compromise.
5. When I ask them to upgrade “should not” to “does not” in a way that will legally cover my ass, they get very skittish.

"Ableist systems involve the differentiation, ranking, negation, notification and prioritization of sentient life." (Campbell 2017, 287 – 288).
If an accomodation like sign language in public comms helps someone *survive*, abelists see it as an attack on their privilege and status

We live in a deranged culture when someone like Elon Musk can retweet white nationalists twice in a week and we just shrug it off. The guy involved in the Presidency, richest man in the world, who controls major comms platform, thinks white nationalist opinion is reasonable.

If you are lucky enough to live a long life you’ll also experience living with a disability. It’s unbelievable that it’s only then some people realise what they’ve taken for granted and who the world is built for.

This is what the rental crisis looks like for a disabled woman, post divorce. This is the ONLY house she was accepted as a tenant in over 10 months of applying. The outside is even worse than the inside. I'm trying desperately to make it liveable for her and her kids. Ping @purplepingers.bsky.social
