My mom is a retired nursing instructor, I’ve picked up a few things over the years. This is going to be fun when a HIPA violation occurs via MS A.I.
Honestly any industry where you see confidential information or proprietary information, could pose a massive threat to customers. Just knowing how much of a product your competitors are shipping to a location can tell you a lot of what they are planning.
I guarantee you they will solve it by lobbying to get rid of HIPA
Nah, why get rid of it if you can get exclusions for just AI, like they are doing for other stuff like copyright.
Yeah keep the law around in case you need to weaponize it against an individual, but ignore it for corporations. The modern solution!
Yep. Waiting for the day I pull up to the dispensary to find it surrounded by ICE vans.
At some point, all that juicy sweet medical data will be worth the 8 figure bribe to several congressmen to allow thebsale of access to the data for ‘research’ use to amazon and google.
All that data is private, until it isnt.
Dont be so innocent to think that hipaa data will never be sold, it will be eventually
I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I’m sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn’t locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.
I work IT at a university that does medical research, and the doctors and their assistants are by FAR the biggest security pit among all the demographics: staff, students, various faculties. You could tell them you were official password inspector and flash an ID written in crayon on a used napkin and they’d just “yeah whatever, here you go, stop bothering me”.
They’d get chewed into paste by their directors after the inevitable happened and their compatriots would learn NOTHING.
I have to use TaskManager now to disable co-pilot
Step 1, delete Windows 11. Step 2, install Linux Mint.
Scammers won’t need to social engineer grandma into giving out her SSN, they can just ask her AI many times and eventually, it will spit out absolutely everything.
Interesting Defcon presentation about how AI is a security nightmare:

Never. Ever. EVER. INSTALLING. ELEVEN.
Um, just in case, I’ll have you know that I name all my folders “trans porn”. It doesn’t mean anything in particular.
Transporners, more than meats the eye
A volume of NTFS that is filled entirely by folders named “trans porn” would mean that there isn’t a single folder in there that contains 2 folders.
New organizing system just dropped. It’s just a chain of five thousand trans porn folders. The depth means something to the creator.
You can now have 128 files in your filesystem.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry
I think I could honestly get away with 128 deep paths. I don’t use more than twenty unique folders in my day-to-day computing. It might be difficult to get the various programs on board with my trans porn name for each folder, but that’s what tinkering is for, eh?
Did you post the wrong link? Yours is about “Maximum Path Length Limitation” and the number 128 doesn’t appear anywhere on that page. The max path length is 256 characters.
Where did you read that “you can now have 128 files in your filesystem?”
If you want to encode information into only the depth of your recursive identically named folders, you have 128 different depths, one character for the name, one for the slash, per level. Yields about 128 possible levels. Leave one off for the last filename, 127.
If we want to name our folders something longer than a single character, we can store less files. If we want to store our files on linux, by default we get 4096 characters to play with, so about 2k levels (unless we compile our own linux kernel with PATH_MAX set for this very specific purpose). If we run CIFS we may be able to reach up to 16k levels.
That was my interpretation of OPs (admittedly bad) idea. Personally, I try to avoid implementing inodes as Church numerals.
With Unicode, you can.
I think I may have caused some confusion and after some research I can see why.
Naturally I was referring to transistors and transformers, and pictures thereof. Ha ha lol guys can we forget this now?
What if I were to tell you the security risk was inside the OS all this time?
It’s kind of amazing how much they’re willing to tear down in hopes of this “” incredible “” AI vision
Planning on spending a months wages building a monster rig that runs Windows 11?
Cool. When it’s done just take whatever your CPU, GPU, RAM is and reduce the number by 50-75%. Have fun.
Where are the techbros that warned me of malware since W10 is EOL? Do you like your new AI built-in malware, cunts?
God, I gotta switch to Mint for good…
So it’s going to be opt-in not opt-out. Just don’t turn it on. Simple as. 🤷♂️
How to disable Copilot
For Pro, Enterprise, or Education users
Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. Double-click “Turn off Windows Copilot,” select “Enabled,” then click Apply and OK. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
For Home users
Home users without access to the Group Policy Editor can disable Copilot via the Windows Registry. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. Create a new key named WindowsCopilot if it does not exist. Inside this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TurnOffWindowsCopilot and set its value to 1. Restart your computer to apply the change.

“Don’t worry babe, it’s just the tip”
opt-in for now… much like how they eventually snuck in their built-in spyware to screenshot your desktop behind the scenes.
Looks like Microsoft learn from the Recall controversy. By making the AI stuff opt-in. Sometimes you need to take the small wins from corporations. Because what’s all you going to get from them.
much like how they eventually snuck in their built-in spyware to screenshot your desktop behind the scenes.
Here’s the minimum system requirements for Recall. Like you can see you need a NPU, BitLocker and Windows Hello enabled to use it. Also it’s opt-in.
The irony of getting advice to disable AI from HAL
i hate this so very, very much
Seems like a bad idea then. So obviously they’ll do it!
You have been warned. We’re still doing it, but at least we did warn you. The fuckery of MicroShit knows no bounds.
Only 10% of Microsoft revenue is Windows, they are trying to squeeze money out of the personal data of users.
they got the idea from google, and samsung is doing the same.
