That's not surprising. US DOD has an earth shatteringly large contract with M$.
They probably had to get MS to take that out so there's no issues getting copilot extended to them at some point.
Seems like they could just write a different contact for the DoD
Ha, then it wouldn't be fair 😉
You sure don't want to be left behind! Get on board with OpenAI tooling from Microsoft today!
This is an ad.
I am actually more worried this is an ad to ban people from having hardware to locally host models. If these “bad guys” do this where they have to “register” and agree to be monitored, what could they do if it wasn’t us big guys around to catch them?
ETA: the actual report
Like everyone on the planet, they're just trying to work more efficiently.
Their purpose is the same as any other business; extract as much profit (or Intel) as possible.
Not sure how you'd stop this.
Isn't everyone, and isn't Microsoft the one helping to make these tools available?
And how will mere 'blanket bans' prevent hackers from finding ways to use and exploit Microsoft AI tools, after all is that not what hackers do?
They must not be very good hackers if they have to use a third party service instead of making their own local ai and using it for their shenanigans 🤷
