My uncle runs IT for a big legal firm and this is such a headache for them. Lawyers are suddenly having confidential client data scraped automatically by windows to train their AI.

The IT team won't even be notified about it until someone asks if they can use the AI option in Notepad or Outlook or something then they have to go and manually block the connections across the whole network.

This is gonna be such a privacy and legal clusterfuck once someone figures out how to extract this training data

Got a good bleak chuckle out of me realizing how fucked everything connected to the internet is gonna get to the point it might motivate people to either disconnect or build a dual-power alternative

Now that hallucinating at work is OK are they going to stop making us pee in cups?

Imagine if the shipboard computer in Star Trek was constantly hallucinating and the crew spent half of their time working with it just trying to keep it from doing that.

I'm still on Windows 10 for my main computer but I will be jumping ship before I ever switch to 11. I've been using Linux off and on for years but it's time to never look back.

My recent choice to FOSS-ify my whole computer is paying dividends every day.

Personally, I don't even know that much about how computers operate and using the terminal feels like witchcraft, but ever since taking my chances and jumping ship to Linux Mint I feel like I actually own my own computer.
