Getting those orders is one thing.

Acting on them is another.

Can't we like, globally cut off any and all ties with the US and leave them to fester in their own hellhole? Hell, we'll build the walls AND pay for them!

"What are they going to do? Sue us from beyond the grave?"

More enshittification, more rent-seeking by locking pedestrian features behind monthly subscriptions, ...

Innovation is stone cold dead, no one is trying to create anything new anymore, they're all just trying to MaXiMizE ShAreHolDeR VaLuE while cutting costs.

People who own cats know that they are very sensitive to your emotional state and will absolutely come comfort you when you're distressed or very down. I've had three cats on me at once sometimes, which is not something they "regularly" do.

Little furry angels, every last one of them. I owe them so much.

Real shit.

He can always crawl back into his k-hole. Good riddance.

Yes, which is why it's important for them to realize what they're getting themselves into. Did Warmbier deserve what happened to him? Absolutely not, but knowing what happened and still going over there to play tourist means you've understood, accepted and internalized the possible risk. I will reserve my tears for the many thousands of people who get into trouble through no fault of their own.

Not necessarily the users, per sé, but the corporations who refuse to learn from mistakes.

Anyone who goes there of their own free will should know that they could end up like Otto Warmbier at any time. No tears will be shed for them.

And the enshittification continues unabated.

We need extra judicial powers, not extra chromosomes in leadership...

Oh, I'm very aware. My own (EU!) company has ISO certifications that "guarantee" our customers that all their data is perfectly protected.

It is not. We, among other things, have plaintext user/password combos in scripting. Certain logs are certainly not being processed lawfully.

It's also not so bad as to be terrible but it still irks me a lot that we're essentially lying to our users.

My hope remains that some vestiges of the rule of law remain and all these people so wronged by this system will eventually have their day in court, and get restitution.

It's a tiny hope, since I'm reluctant to believe the above will eventually happen, but I'll hold on to it just the same.

Thanks for the info!

No, the AI advised me to contact my direct superior and his superior, but mentioned their names.

I have never provided it with this information, so that means it has a lot more access to our information than is officially known. Technically we aren't even supposed to input anything that could possibly be identifying, again for GDPR purposes, so I have no idea where Copilot got the information from.

I assume that MS lets companies tailor their instance of Copilot to a certain degree and maybe it was fed an organigram of the entire company, but AFAIK this is already not allowed under current legislation. Or maybe it is and I'm just a modern luddite.

Regardless, I'll be even more careful about what I use Copilot for from this point forward.

Today I was "talking" to copilot asking about how to tackle a certain issue. The fucking thing replied with my manager and his manager's NAMES telling me to reach out to them. Of course I was aware that Copilot's primary function is not as an AI assistant but as a surveillance tool, but working in the EU, this still surprised me a lot.

That said, under the protections the EU affords me, I will absolutely continue to use Copilot for the most inane possible tasks. I know that they know, but they can't act on it without breaking GDPR.

Your move, corporation.

I think it's fairly obvious how he's buttering up Trump in order to get something done. Honestly, Trump himself may be the only person who doesn't see it.

I low key assume this means the next strike will be using tactical nukes. This is bad news folks.
