"A global outage is affecting a variety of Microsoft services, including its Bing search engine and Copilot AI tool.
Users turned to social media on Thursday to complain about the outage, which is also impacting third parties, including the search engine DuckDuckGo, which relies on Microsoft’s infrastructure."
Really sick of these big tech companies.
Absolute parasites.
"You have the right to object to Meta using your personal info to train AI..."
[BUT]
"...We may still process information about you to develop and improve AI at Meta, even if you object or don’t use our Products and services"
Oczywiście zamierzam zaprotestować, a do tego służy ten formularz:
Pamiętacie te łańcuszki? HA HA.
Ale na serio: @icd, @panoptykon - co należy wpisać i na jakie przepisy / precedensy się powołać, żeby mieć szansę na skuteczne zastrzeżenie moich treści (zwłaszcza oryginalnych)?
"Lavender applies the logic of the pattern recognition-driven signature strikes popularized by the US ... with the mass surveillance infrastructures and techniques of #AI ... Instead of serving ads, Lavender automatically puts people on a kill list based on the likeness of their surveillance data patterns to the data patterns of purported militants – a process that ... is hugely inaccurate. Here we have the AI-driven logic of ad targeting, but for killing." @Mer__edithhttps://www.helmut-schmidt.de/aktuelles/detail/die-rede-der-zukunftspreistraegerin
#Microsoft releases the #AI feature, everyone is up in arms over the security assuming the absolute worst, spreading FUD, when no one knows exactly how the #data is stored, what is extracted from it, and what and if any data is sent to Microsoft. If only we gave a company the time of day, instead of jumping to conclusions.
Everyone is screaming "year of the Linux desktop", however in a few weeks this news cycle will blow over and we'll all forget about it.
"it's all stored locally" is not a panacea for these alarming privacy-invading products!
what exactly is stored locally? what data is extracted from that local data and sent to the company's servers? is that local data being backed somewhere?
what additional risks are now being posed to people who share devices, whose devices might be accessed by others or compromised, or who might not realize these tools are running? what is the risk that the company might later change its decision on local storage?
