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?

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.

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

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.

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.

Especially since you can have self hosted versions.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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).

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

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.
