I was expecting he was going to finally acknowledge these are trained on CSAM, been compromised and used to perpetuate abusive crimes.

I assume he's referring to the long-standing Microsoft engineering principles of "zero trust": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security/zero-trust/zero-t... and "least privilege": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/se...

> Unfortunately, Nadella also refers to AI as “super intelligence” throughout the post. What's the deal with these clowns? Nadella's estimated net worth is like $600M. Is that still not enough for him to buy himself a spine?

Someone will vibe-code Office and Windows, and he knows it.

Yeah, after having a meeting at the Oval office, it's for sure everyone got taught by our bro "Dario" regarding containing things as the Chinese are catching up. Give this a break...

I don't get why using “super intelligence” is an issue here. It seems the US admin sort of politicized this and now US companies have their own reasons for selecting terms that may not make sense to people who aren't making the same decisions. Everything else seems reasonable? Assume the worst and put the controls in place to handle that scenario? Isn't this how we approach security normally? NOTE: NOT a security expert, so I may be talking out of my...

Well of course. If you blindly assume it works and it doesn't, that's a problem. If your process can handle it not working, it's much less of a problem.

Should I then assume that Copilot is "compromised", and given that they've shoehorned it into all Microsoft products, then, by extension, that means all Microsoft products are compromised?

Once again, why do all these CEOs think they are thought leaders all of a sudden?

Here's a video of Nadella speaking about AI a year ago. I couldn't for the life of me understand him, it sounded like when someone I know did cocaine and spent like 8 hours per day with ChatGPT and developed their own internal vocabulary, right around peak AI psychosis era with 4o as well. One thing you can hear is that he was super excited about AI, which is very obvious by how Copilot was slapped everywhere. And now that the market is expressing their backlash about AI they are just hopping on the bandwagon. But I remember, and I think the MSFT customers will remember how AI was slapped into everything INCLUDING NOTEPAD.EXE
