Seems like every day there's another compelling reason to switch to Linux. Microsoft is doing truly incredible work this year!

> "The Microsoft 365 Copilot 'work tab' Chat is summarizing email messages even though these email messages have a sensitivity label applied and a DLP policy is configured." I'd add (3) - a DLP policy is apparently ineffective at its purpose: monitoring data sharing between machines. ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-learn-about-dl... ). Directly from the DLP feature page: > DLP, with collection policie…
> a DLP policy is apparently ineffective at its purpose /Offtopic Yes, MSFT's DLP/software malfunctioned, but getting users to MANUALLY classify things as confidential is already an uphill battle. These are for the rare subset of people that are aware of and compliant with NDAs/Confidentiality Agreements!

Apple not doing much better, but from the other end. Microsoft releasing overly ambitious features with disastrous consequences. Apple releasing features so unambitious it's hard to remember they're there.
Half of the time it's open user hostility and blatant incompetence. The other half it's just the incompetence. Ambition doesn't enter the picture at all.

All the vendors paraphrase user data, then use the paraphrased data for training. This is what their terms of service say. They have significant experience in this. Microsoft software since the 2014, for the most part, is also paraphrased from other people's code they find laying around online.
> Microsoft software since the 2014, for the most part, is also paraphrased from other people's code they find laying around online. That was pretty funny and explains a lot. I wish I could do more :( Instead I always break things when I paraphrase code without the GeniusParaphrasingTool
While I couldn’t have predicted the future, even classic data mining posed a risk.
It is just reality that if you give a third party access to your data, you should expect them to use it.
It is just too tempting of a value stream and legislation just isn’t there to avoid the EULA trap.
I was targeting a market where fractions of a percentage advantage were important which did drive my what at the time was labeled paranoia
There are two issues I see here (besides the obvious “Why do we even let this happen in the first place?”): 1. What happened to all the data Copilot trained on that was confidential? How is that data separated and deleted from the model’s training? How can we be sure it’s gone? 2. This issue was found; unfortunately without a much better security posture from Microsoft, we have no way of knowing what issues are curre…

If their models ever spit out obviously confidential information belonging to their paying customers they'll lose those paying customers to their competitors - and probably face significant legal costs as well.
Your random confidential corporate email really isn't that valuable for training. I'd argue it's more like toxic waste that should be avoided at all costs.

> All the vendors paraphrase user data, then use the paraphrased data for training. This is what their terms of service say. It depends. E.g.
