Interesting how MS is the reasonable one here where all their copilot stuff clearly separates paying business from free consumer stuff for training / not training.

However slack has gone and said they will train on everything, and ONLY the paying companies can request to opt out.

Too bad so sad for all those small dev teams that have been using the “free” version of slack… No option to opt out.

These existed shortly after the iPhone came out under the presumption people would miss the physical keys from blackberries. They didn’t sell well back then I don’t think they will now.

X claimed Media Matters “manipulated” the social media platform by using accounts that exclusively followed accounts for major brands or users known to produce fringe content and “resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing” the feed until it found ads next to extremist posts.

Media Matters’ report misrepresented the typical experience on X “with the intention of harming X and its business”, the company said in the lawsuit.

If I hand someone a set of bullet notes and ask them to send out a notice in writing to the company. They are going to convert those notes into paragraphs and sentences… Not just send out the notes.

Also MS already has a module for teams that will take the conversation transcript, and output action items based on the conversation… It is like having a note taker during the meeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1gpkk-MwpY

Just like the executives assist that was tasked with scanning documents. And LLM can likely safely and quickly do many people tasks:

• summarize meeting transcripts
• highlight nest steps
• take an auto line and some data and turn it into words

There are a lot of human language job tasks that have zero imagination required just the ability to read summarize and write some proper English.

Robots / automation have replaced so many human physical labor jobs, even large dumb heavy machinery.

Language models replacing mundane human language tasks is hardly surprising.

I have replaced entire employee jobs with scrips / code, there are a lot of very basic jobs out there.

Telsa isn’t even close to being the first automaker to do this, it is to prevent scalping on pre-orders.

Makes sense Splunk was already one of the most expensive products in this space.

Wonder how long it will take for them to rune it.

How many people are going to still post death threats, character assassinations, or make racist or sexist comments.

Have you seen twitter and what named public figures say all the time and the comments from verified named accounts below?

I don’t believe we should have to link our personal info, but I do think we should have somewhat consistent ID that are confirmed linked to a person in order to gain some form of trust.

When you can just spin up random throwaways you can say whatever you want at no cost of time or money to you.
