    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?

      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).

            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…

      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

    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 stackpillar 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…

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