  The Register asked Microsoft about the privacy implications and what happens to user data while an agent does its thing, but other than acknowledging our question, the company did not respond.

    I’m sure it’s in the TOS somewhere. You use the microslop, you agree to the microslop.

  Hey, mine is empty. Can anyone recommend something I could put in there to poison it?

    A couple hundred million 0kb files?

      That won’t poison an LLM exactly.

      Theoretically this is a place to start. They probably have mitigations for many of these.

    You could have a really simple Markov chain generator fill a gigabyte’s worth of .txt files with nonsense sentences. At least that’s “content” they have to parse.

  I am so happy that Windows has become such shit that it made me, one of the most “lazy” people I know, switch to Linux. I hope they crash and burn but our society has done a good job not educating people on the tech they use every day. Tech illiterates don’t really have options do they.

  Yup, there it is. I’ve been saying it.

  Everyone from individuals to Fortune 500s are storing their data on OneDrive and SharePoint in the cloud.

  ML models (not necessarily LLMs) are incredible at finding patterns and targeted data points in huge data sets.

  I wonder why they need all those data centers for all the AI workloads that barely anyone is using, or wants.

  Hmm. Hmmmmmm. 🤔

    The government, including the military, uses OneDrive and SharePoint too.

  So, just need to prompt for a person’s name and get to find the contents of all the files with that name in it?

    It’s like grep but it’s killing us as a bonus.

      It’s also less accurate and will make up results. So it has that going for it.

  Rufus let me install windows with a local account and debloat scripts let me nuke/hide OneDrive.

  And, INB4 anyone says “switch to linux”, I’m sorry but it just isn’t viable while maintaining the same seamless experience for what I need. I hate Windows, but I also value my time.

      I’m 8 distro attempts in so far and have yet to not sink substantial time into driver and general usability issues.

      In another life I’d be happy to sacrifice productivity to grind on fixing the issues, but presently it costs has real costs.

      For now, I run Proxmox and a slew of linux containers and VMs - but still unfortunately use windows as my primary :/

    If you value your time you should switch to Linux. Yes there’s a brief adjustment period, but especially now, that period is very short and well worth the initial effort. It’s not 2005 anymore, Linux has less jank than Windows or Mac OS now.

    I just really need the seamless experience of running a new debloat script every month to stop whatever new spyware Microsoft is pushing. I value my time so much that I want to waste it fighting my operating system at every turn.

      It’s not that hard to stop windows, there are programs that block internet access by process, and windows only has so many of them. One drive doesn’t boot on my PC, and if edge tried to open it auto-fails because edge is offline.

  as somewhat ai curious person, in my experience, with at least small local llm (40-80b) they are absolutely shit at working with large texts, at best they can make a passable summary, contradictory information is ignored (if it’s in two documents), document citations are pulled from the ass 1/3rd of the time (and the pulled info is equally dodgy, if it’s pass/fail type on exactness), is copilot better than this?
