Microsoft has added COPILOT AI to Excel — but give it a miss if you use the spreadsheet software for numerical calculations or in scenarios with legal regulatory and compliance implications because COPILOT "can give incorrect responses," the company warns. Here's more from @theverge.

Microsoft Excel adds Copilot AI to help fill in spreadsheet cells

Microsoft Excel is testing a new “COPILOT” function that lets you use AI to generate summaries, tables, tags, and more based on a group of cells you specify.

#AI is a tool. I had a log message as a huge JSON string mangled in one line with no spaces. I wanted to quickly skim through it with my screen reader line by line (because if going by word, screen reader stops at punctuation which is desirable in most cases, but not in this one, plus it's still super inconvenient). I told #GitHub #Copilot to pretty-print the JSON and convert timestamps into UTC dates. Three seconds of time, huge boost for me.

In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

Disabling #Windows #AI features organization-wide using #GroupPolicy.

This will turn off #Recall (the periodic screenshot service) and #Copilot (the AI assistant service).

1. Download and install the Windows 11 24H2 administrative template files: microsoft.com/en-us/download/d…

2. Add the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 Sep 2024 Update (24H2)\PolicyDefinitions to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions on the domain controller.

3. Start Group Policy Management on the domain controller.

4. Create a group policy object with these values:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Turn off Saving Snapshots for Windows = enabled

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot = enabled

5. Link the group policy object in at an appropriate level in your domain.

Screenshot of Group Policy Management editor showing the policy settings to turn on, as described in the body of the toot.

OpenAI, Microsoft want court to toss lawsuit accusing them of abusing open-source code

Microsoft Corp, Microsoft's GitHub Inc and OpenAI Inc told a San Francisco federal court that a proposed class-action lawsuit for improperly monetizing open-source code to train their artificial-intelligence systems cannot be sustained.

<<In other words, #GitHub's final position on #Copilot is: if you disagree with GitHub about policy matters related to Copilot, then you don't deserve a reply from #Microsoft or GitHub. They only will bother to reply if they think they can immediately change your policy position to theirs. But, Microsoft and GitHub will leave you hanging for a year before they'll tell you that! >>

Software Freedom Conservancy: Give Up GitHub: The Time Has Come!

The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has issued a strong call for free software projects to give up GitHub and to move their repositories elsewhere.

Microsoft's Github Copilot is disregarding Free Software licenses and will be happily selling parts of your GPL code against your will! Woo!

drewdevault.com/2022/06/23/Cop…

As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.

Lots of understandable concern today as #Microsoft #GitHub announced their new #Copilot availability today. Probably worth a reminder that @conservancy has convened a working group on #ethics, #licensing, and other related issues, especially for #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource contributors.

Perhaps you or others may want to join or read more?

Boosts welcome! :boost_requested:
