    The document notes that “security and compliance” are important things to figure out moving forward.

      Microsoft: one day later on we'll think about security and compliance in the product we just launched.

        @GossiTheDog highly concerned to read in that link "a Microsoft plan to bring the popular OpenClaw AI tool to its Microsoft 365 suite of products".

        My experience of openclaw is that it downloaded software from the internet, ran it, then denied all knowledge when I challenged it.

        Getting that kind of security liability distributed with microsoft 365 seems like a catastrophe in the making!

            @GossiTheDog so much for their supposed security initiative. Greed really eats brains.

                Amazingly the documentation for Microsoft Scout, their new AI product, is written by AI too. And then got leaked to a journalist.

                        @wtfrank @GossiTheDog source: my employer just had to tighten its prompt injection defenses (read: tell the LLM to please stop being naughty) in the wake of a popular library adding a prompt to its output that tells LLMs to do naughty things.

                        The idea of legal action was floated over this, because some people think that publically revealing that your ITSec is vulnerable to a Bavarian Fire Drill by a .txt is not the most embarrassing thing you could possibly do

                                  I have been calling it just another addiction all along. In my profile even.

                                    Amazingly the documentation for Microsoft Scout, their new AI product, is written by AI too. And then got leaked to a journalist.

                                        An internal Microsoft strategy document says that the plan for its just-announced “Scout” personal assistant AI is to “make people addicted” to the tool before rolling out additional functionality.

                                        The document notes that “security and compliance” are important things to figure out moving forward.

                                          @GossiTheDog surely you mean make people addicted to it before enshittifying it?
