It's really important that people understand that LLMs (which is what "agents" are at their core) only speak text. They don't have any means of differentiating between instructions and input. There is not, and never will be, any way of fully preventing prompt injection/jailbreak attacks.

Oh, a *british* union. For those not familiar with UK employment tribunals, lets just say this was probably a profoundly stupid (and likely expensive) move
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Taking bets on how long until someone is forced into the humiliating but inevitable admission that no act of parliament can give ofcom jurisdiction over foreign companies?

MAHA just pushed out an email blast to the list collected from his failed presidential campaign.
"Tomorrow, the Senate HELP Committee will hold a hearing that industry lobbyists hope to use to undermine Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and stall long-overdue reform at HHS."

SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR MEMORIES, THEY'RE KILLING THE EARTH, ALSO WE'RE BUILDING NEW AI CENTERS feels absurdly farcical and dystopian while perfectly illustrating Stage 4 End-Stage Capitalism in all its dipshit horror.
The UK government has urged people to delete old pictures and emails as 'data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems'.

“Ban trans women from toilets” is a call for violence. Just because you intend to delegate this task to the police does not make it not a call for violence.

The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

How comfortable are you with running powershell commands? There’s also instructions out there to remove it via Registry edits.

If you would like to evaporate Copilot from your pc, the two admin powershell commands you need are "Get-AppxPackage -Name 'Microsoft.Copilot' | select PackageFullName" and "Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Package '<INSERT_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE>'".
After spending more than an hour on the phone with Microsoft Support, I have learned:
1. It is impossible to disable Copilot in OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint, or Windows itself.
2. It will not become possible to do so for another month AT THE EARLIEST.

Anyone know how to disable Copilot in OneNote? There's no tickybox for it in the "Options" page, I already turned off "online experiences" or whatever, and when I tried uninstalling the Copilot app, the only change seems to be that I no longer have an "uninstall" option on the Copilot app.
