You do know that basically every single online game that you play records all text and voice chat, right?

I feel like you don't even understand what this is going by what you just said. Unless you literally turn this feature on, then open the Xbox game bar and go to the widget and select to use it - it's not just some "always on" thing, you have to open it to use it - then it doesn't do anything.

Where is the issue?

What information exactly do you think copilot would be capturing about someone else in an online multiplayer game that is cause for concern that isn't already being captured by companies?

In a business environment, there is no security unless you pay for premium licenses for every user that touches a managed environment. That’s $30 per user per month for basic security. If you have one agent that 1000 employees may use, that’s baseline $30k per month. If you don’t have a managed environment, the anybody in your organization with a copilot license (not copilot studio) can login to the default environment, create agents, and share them indiscriminately. There is no middle ground.

This is all 100% incorrect btw.

The software is labelled Beta, but is being pushed out to existing PCs anyway because… well… why not beta something in prod, it’s 2025 after all.

G-mail was beta for like 15 years while billions of people used it. The "beta" label doesn't mean not ready for prod, hasn't for decades at this point.

As with everything else copilot related, this is optional. It can be completely disabled, and I'm pretty sure it's disabled by default. Mountain out of a molehill.

When youre first starting out basically any hardware will do, it just needs to boot Linux.

Unless you already use Linux, you don't need to start with Linux. Windows works perfectly and is significantly easier for most people as it's what they already know.

It absolutely isn't. Doing the automation is DevOps as well. Do you think that tools like Octopus Deploy or Azure DevOps don't work, or aren't DevOps?

You really think that the current "AI" has not done a single good thing? You think that no one in the entire world has been able to benefit in any way, at all, from using AI?

You’re completely ignoring all my arguments.

No I'm not, I addressed them. LLMs not being able to do maths/spelling is a known shortcoming. Anyone using it to do that is literally using it wrong. The studies you talk about were ridiculous, I know the ones you're talking about. Of course people that don't learn something won't know how to do it, for example - but the fact that they can do it with AI is a positive. Obviously getting AI to write an essay means that the person will feel less "proud" of their work, as one of the studies said - but that's not a "bad" thing. Just like how people don't need to learn how to hunt and gather anymore doesn't mean that it's a bad thing - the world as it is, and as it always will be from here on out, means we don't need to know that unless we want to do it.

Again - AI is a tool, and idiots being able to use it to great effect doesn't mean that the tool is bad. If anything that's a showing of how good the tool is.

The fact AI has yet to do anything other than increase costs, increase the time taken to ship anything (particularly code), decrease trust and socialise the cost of data centres and electricity…

This is just straight up lying though lol. All you're doing is showing your ignorance and complete lack of awareness of the world around you.

You sound like a conspiracy theorist defending wearing an aluminium foil hat.

Gotta have somewhere to put the thousands of acres of solar panels and batteries and transmission lines.
