I will never understand why the model — any model in any environment — is allowed to execute commands.
There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like
yarn build, with direct human oversight.That’s it. That’s the only situation.
And thank God it can do that too because “copilot build my project” saves me the intense labor and frustration of hitting F7 on my keyboard
jenkins?
Silence! No questions! You will be assimilated!
To try to make it useful and needed somehow, when in reality it isn’t.
Lol that’s amazing. I’ll stick with Linux!
Me too. Linux already comes without warranty. This warning basically just says that if the user enables the AI agent all guarantees are off. They didn’t bother putting safeguards in and don’t want to be responsible for it.
Is windows 11 not already a malware anyway ?
Yes, but now the malware is telling you it wants to invite friends over for tea.

I think the real question is, is this what Microsoft executives use internally? If they are using Windows 11, are they using the AI agent? Or do they get to opt out of it? Or are they just using Macs?
They don’t seem like they’re the types that are savvy enough to feel like it’s a problem.
Unlike the federal workers who have one IT person per 200 people, they have 200 IT people for one person.
It’s hard to believe but there exist an entire chunk of people who don’t use PCs at all (Personal Computers). Being executive level is absolutely rich enough to do that. You’ve someone else to do all of that.
I think they are just fed up with maintaining their own kernel. At this point it honestly seems like they are trying to get people to switch. If they now just release all their code under GPL then the linux nerds can fully support all windows software to allow a seamless transition.
Why bother playing by their rules? We have Wine. We have proton. We can build our own “windows compatible execution environment”, with Blackjack, and Hookers, and better compatibility, and better efficiency, and…
Yes that would be cool, but lots of windows software still doesnt run because it has some detection stuff built in that blocks wine. To solve that the wine devs would need access to the original source.

So, the AI chief dude is saying he doesn’t understand why people don’t want AI… do they even read their own docs?
Here’s what I see happening, probably very soon when this AI thing is released: Some malware developer writes an ‘AI installer’ that activates this thing, sets itself up as an AI on your PC, passes through whatever query you have to free ChatGPT, and then uses AI access to steal all your stuff or track you. Because if the AI model has access to your data, so does any support code related to that model.
How long until the AI learns to delete system32 at random?

Ok going off the script a little.
I actually just had the brain wave to start up my PC House Doctor service again.
Dollar signs appear in my eyes when I remember back to the XP RPC vulnerability and how much business I did from that. This seriously, seriously sounds reminiscent of that - except the threat is directly inside the OS now it’s baked in.
like data exfiltration or … installation
Bad actors are going to have a fucking field day.
