I’m a multi decade Linux user but I’m mostly an advocate for people using the software they want to use be it Linux, Windows, whatever. I don’t care what you use.

This is an indefensible nightmare, however. What the fuck.

    My employer’s IT department has to keep reminding people not to use any “AI” not developed in-house due to IP leak. They were successful in keeping Copilot out of the Office suite for a while, but now it’s wormed its way into it again.

      Yep, it’s a game of whack a mole. If it wasn’t Microsoft doing this, it would be considered a major national security threat or published as one of the most successful data breaches in history.

      Talking about it like that would reveal that AI is just a name for intellectual property and data theft at a societal scale though and since the entire economy is now floated by the hype…well that’s not gonna happen
