I wonder when chat gpt being included in everything will backfire. How many requests are being sent to a multiple servers that people are unaware of and how secure are those servers?

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 51 points 1 month ago

Yeah my company enabled the use of copilot with our corporate Microsoft accounts. I don't understand how you can open such a massive can of worms to ALL your users. It's pretty much begging for information to completely leave corporate control. It's absolutely insane.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

I asked copilot how to turn off copilot, and it responded with "It is probably time to change the question topics"

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

This is dumb copilot. Smart copilot will just open up tik tok to whatever your brain can’t resist and you’ll forget you even asked.

Jokes on you I'm immune to propaganda 😹

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

Believing you're immune makes you particularly vulnerable, because it may hinder you from noticing that you're wrong. None of us are above deception or manipulation, and to assume otherwise is to let down our guard.

NAWWWW no way, I am so immune that I 💯% believe that I am immune to COVID, AIDS, and even Assburgers.

Edit: are people this dumb that I have to put a /s /j on these comments.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 7 points 1 month ago

I'm afraid I can't do that ~~Dave~~ BCsven

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Pretty much the responses I got trying to force it to tell me.

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

For most commercial products they offer what they call Copilot with data protection.

I hate that they are shoving it down everyone's throat but data leakage is a primary company concern that they have addressed.

Now, how much that is true on the backend is anyone's guess, but they're selling something that they could be held legally accountable for.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Especially since you can have self hosted versions.

[-] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I mean they've been doing multitenancy in Azure for a while.. I'd be pretty surprised if the data input from copilot was not handled in the same manner.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Worse, the communication isn't through some finite algorithm... It's this amorphouse agent that can be tricked to saying things it's explicitly designed not to say.

[-] jnk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

I will die of laughter if someone manages to trick copilot to get data stolen from the USA (or another countrie's) government by M$. Not saying it will happen, but knowing GPT... Just imagine the memes

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

How long til CoPilot coughs up Windows 11 source code, or something like that? That's what I want. Accidental open sourced windows from overzealous implementation of AI by Microsoft.

😙🤌

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

That's not quite how it works

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Local government is also having this issue. Lots of cities don't have the resources so will probably throw a lot at gpt...which means a very large attack vector.

Google is bad, but it isn’t being integrated ant the operating system level.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

That's true but they they were the pioneers in surveillance.

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Reload in "Reader View" or something similar, the paywall is weak.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

My manager literally cannot figure out how not to have a giant age of empires ad coat her screen. Microsoft Windows is totally a product you've purchased for the sake of handling your business. /s

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's more like a whole series of legal covers for everyone involved up and down the chain if things go sideways.

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 16 points 1 month ago

US government does not have a public fund or tax to pay for the development of a government sanctioned Unix/GNU operating system by a US company. Once that happens, then this issue goes away.

[-] mansfield@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

redhat is just sitting right there.... waiting,

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Well, it was. It's not the reliable, stable OS it was only a few years ago. It has really pushed the envelope for stupid since its first foray into Dumb for EL6.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah. This irks me even more because the US Gov:

A. Has laws that could have prevented IBM from buying RedHat.

B. Knows it relies on RedHat for securing critical systems.

C. Didn't do shit about the purchase.

Ideally, each government would look out for the public's interest, in these things. But in this case, it failed to even look out for it's own interests (which would have aligned, in this case).

[-] Veraxus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

US Government: “Anti-trust? Pfft, keep that ~~bribery~~ lobbying train coming and we will absolutely trust you.”

The Public: That’s not what “trust” means… oh…

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

"We stopped applying antitrust laws because they were hurting trust in corporations"

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

You are assuming the various departments talk. It is kind of a love hate relationship.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Not the greatest company to work with

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

In reality it is more complex. However, I know the air force uses a ton of Linux and related tools such as Kubernetes and Samba. Who would've thought a fighter jet would be running kubernetes

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 15 points 1 month ago

The US Government Has a Microsoft Problem

Microsoft has stumbled through a series of major cybersecurity failures over the past few years. Experts say the US government’s reliance on its systems means the company continues to get a free pass.

[-] 737@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

Not just the US.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Many governments have that same problem. I'd actually consider it a bigger problem for those other governments.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

It's extra funny that the PR drone MS have wheeled out has the last name Faehl - how's that pronounced, I wonder... Could it be fail?

Fitting really...

Personally, I'm deeply entwined in the MS ~~product stack~~pillar of turds and I hate it. They appeared to gave made an honest effort after the trustworthy computing initiative, but that has clearly been eroded...

Why they've got everyone's trust, I just can't understand. Convenience trumps everything else, I guess...

[-] msage@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

Remember the South Park movie, when they wanted to invade, and when their visualisation failed, called for Bill Gates?

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

That scene, https://youtu.be/6ovsKnljcIk , was a reference to this actual event, https://youtu.be/IW7Rqwwth84

"It is faster, over five million-" Gunshot

[-] darganon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Isn't this a place for memes?

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It is, but I suck at it. Hopefully, someone will grab the screenshot and make it into a meme.
