AI helpers can now rummage through multiple documents
Hey, mine is empty. Can anyone recommend something I could put in there to poison it?

AI helpers can now rummage through multiple documents
Hey, mine is empty. Can anyone recommend something I could put in there to poison it?

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.
A ton of folders
Epstine 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.

All of my zero one drive files? heckin shoot
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.
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.
Surprise!!
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?

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.
