    I’m well aware that there are “dedupe” services out there, but I’m still very leery of giving a third-party service access to the entirety of my cloud backups. So, when I saw that Microsoft now offers the ability to send Copilot agents into your OneDrive files (version 1.0!), I thought, hey, this was worth checking out. It was time for a good spring cleaning of my cloud storage.

    If he was “leery of giving a third-party service access to the entirety of my cloud backups”, why would he trust hallucinating and unpredictable software more than a deterministic and fully predictable software.

    You just did the opposite of what would be a much safer option 🤦

    Can any technically illiterate moron write articles for a pc magazine? Senior editor no less…

        Nothing wrong with laziness. There are a small number of cases where it improves productivity. None I’ve found so far on my job, but I know people who use it effectively.

        But anyone who gives an LLM access to do something that might be costly or risky to reverse is a drooling imbecile who shouldn’t be allowed to eat soup without being watched by an attendant.

      Differently types of risks. Giving a 3rd party access to your full cloud storage has massive privacy concerns that he is right to want to avoid.
