Microsoft sets Copilot agents loose on your OneDrive files

  The Register asked Microsoft about the privacy implications and what happens to user data while an agent does its thing, but other than acknowledging our question, the company did not respond.

    A couple hundred million 0kb files?

      That won’t poison an LLM exactly.

      Theoretically this is a place to start. They probably have mitigations for many of these.

    You could have a really simple Markov chain generator fill a gigabyte’s worth of .txt files with nonsense sentences. At least that’s “content” they have to parse.

  Yup, there it is. I’ve been saying it.

  Everyone from individuals to Fortune 500s are storing their data on OneDrive and SharePoint in the cloud.

  ML models (not necessarily LLMs) are incredible at finding patterns and targeted data points in huge data sets.

  I wonder why they need all those data centers for all the AI workloads that barely anyone is using, or wants.

  Hmm. Hmmmmmm. 🤔

    The government, including the military, uses OneDrive and SharePoint too.

  So, just need to prompt for a person’s name and get to find the contents of all the files with that name in it?

    It’s like grep but it’s killing us as a bonus.

      It’s also less accurate and will make up results. So it has that going for it.

  I am so happy that Windows has become such shit that it made me, one of the most “lazy” people I know, switch to Linux. I hope they crash and burn but our society has done a good job not educating people on the tech they use every day. Tech illiterates don’t really have options do they.

      I mean yeah gamers still will have a harder time because some games won’t work but that is dodgeable with dual boot, virtual machines or a dedicated gaming PC where windows slop can do less harm.

      If only Nvidia wasn’t shit when it came to linux support*

      Don’t post your cries to random forums that can do nothing about it, send them directly to Nvidia at info@nvidia.com or call 1-408-486-2000 and tell them you’re a loyal customer who wants linux support or you’ll go to AMD who does it well. The more that do that the more likely you’ll actually get support for your hardware.

  Rufus let me install windows with a local account and debloat scripts let me nuke/hide OneDrive.

  And, INB4 anyone says “switch to linux”, I’m sorry but it just isn’t viable while maintaining the same seamless experience for what I need. I hate Windows, but I also value my time.

      I’m 8 distro attempts in so far and have yet to not sink substantial time into driver and general usability issues.

      In another life I’d be happy to sacrifice productivity to grind on fixing the issues, but presently it costs has real costs.

      For now, I run Proxmox and a slew of linux containers and VMs - but still unfortunately use windows as my primary :/

    I just really need the seamless experience of running a new debloat script every month to stop whatever new spyware Microsoft is pushing. I value my time so much that I want to waste it fighting my operating system at every turn.

      It’s not that hard to stop windows, there are programs that block internet access by process, and windows only has so many of them. One drive doesn’t boot on my PC, and if edge tried to open it auto-fails because edge is offline.

    If you value your time you should switch to Linux. Yes there’s a brief adjustment period, but especially now, that period is very short and well worth the initial effort. It’s not 2005 anymore, Linux has less jank than Windows or Mac OS now.

    source

    • AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It isn’t just an adjustment period, it’s that some things straight up don’t work though.

      Happy to be proved wrong, but I’m not exactly a novice.

  as somewhat ai curious person, in my experience, with at least small local llm (40-80b) they are absolutely shit at working with large texts, at best they can make a passable summary, contradictory information is ignored (if it’s in two documents), document citations are pulled from the ass 1/3rd of the time (and the pulled info is equally dodgy, if it’s pass/fail type on exactness), is copilot better than this?

  If you have a subscription to any of these cloud services or want to continue using them, setup rclone with crypt (cryptomator is a more popular option it seems but paid) to locally encrypt files before uploading and shift all data to be uploaded through them, of course though only do this if absolutely necessary or free since of course one should not be paying these companies in the first place.

  source

  • BrikoX@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Cryptomator is FOSS.

    source

    • redparadise@lemmygrad.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      True but it’s currently developed by a private company and the mobile apps are paywalled, there are workarounds since it is FOSS but a bit of a hassle, it does seem easier to use though so good option for those who have the money and are willing to pay or trust and can utilize the workarounds properly, rclone has more features and more seamless after setup but is a bit harder to initially setup and needs a 3rd party GUI for Desktop and Mobile since it’s CLI only.
