God grant me the boldness of a University that requires faculty to complete "cybersecurity training" whilst also forcing on us the biggest security vulnerability of all: The Microsoft Office 365 Copilot App.

    @jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz One of my university's "values" is to be "bold" in exactly that way.

  • @jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz There was an absolute horror story at the Types business meeting: an email by a very generous Swedish foundation accepting to sponsor the conference was lost in Microsoft quarantine for months…

    @jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz i really do worry how much sensitive info has accidentily been sent to copilot by someone clicking "rephrase into a funny tone" on a 213KB csv file with names, birth dates and email columns.

    @jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz the obscuring of the links alone (via the url safelinks.protection.outlook.com) drives me mad

    @jonmsterling@mathstodon.xyz Yeah, not that long ago I was stuck trying to do what I needed to do for my job by some employer-imposed security theatre. So I asked the employer-imposed AI "how do I get round this bit of security theatre?" And instead of reporting me to security it gave me an answer! (Which in the nature of code generated by AIs was wrong, but it gave sufficient hints that I was able to write something that worked.)
