It’s really sad to me that everyone sees this as just an annoying superfluous feature.
Doesn’t anyone else see why Microsoft is so fucking horny for this???
It’s a fucking panopticon! They’re trying to look at everything you produce and save (OneDrive) and now they’re trying to get their hands on what you think (what you ask Copilot) and the conclusions you come to (Copilot’s generated response).
They can know and control anything they want. Imagine how deep that goes? This is way beyond fucking banner ads. This is about picking and choosing winners in the global economy. This is about knowing who will fall before they do and hedging. This is about industrial espionage and being first to market. This is about silencing all political dissidents before they even speak publicly. This is true, actual, corporate dystopian shit. This is Minority Report but janky, and privatized.
This needs to be stopped.
