Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is going all-in on AI. Earlier this week, he announced that the company’s developer division (which makes developer tools and compilers) has been folded into a new unit …

My commentary: An AI that can be trusted with sensitive information remains a tantalizing but unattainable “holy grail”.

And a quote I love from the article:

    Lol. Wild!

    ”The company accused 10 anonymous defendants of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and federal racketeering laws"

    So… Their lawyers were bored? I admit, I don’t understand the legal value of brining the case against an anonymous person.

    “Microsoft is taking a firm stand against the misuse of its generative AI services and sending a clear message that the weaponization of its AI technology by online actors will not be tolerated.”

    Uh… Wow. But I suppose my own firm stances sometimes also involve meaningless gestures.

    Standard disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer. I’m just someone who has been exposed to too much marketing technobable bullshit. I’ll allow that maybe my bullshit-o-meter is being unfair?

    Anyway, interesting read. Thanks!
