      Employers would absolutely love to be able to ask their pet AI “hey tell me who to fire based on their computer usage”…

          Yes but imagine it all nicely arranged on a dashboard, with little made up metrics, and spreadsheets and bar graphs and other bullshit, all done automatically, from the 365 panel, and the CEO didn’t have to set anything up.

          The passivity and the integration of it is the biggest concern.

          If there’s one thing I have learned from seeing a bunch of different small companies, is it they don’t bother to take the time to clean up all the bullshit and turn off all the garbage in 365/Intune. They manage the security and the needed software, all the other crap that Microsoft shoves in there and turns on for them, they don’t pay attention. At some point Microsoft will just add this crap, employees won’t be aware, or they will be aware, and it would require admin credentials to turn off.

          You *can* see how using AI to analyze a video (effectively a video, they didn’t say how often the screenshots are taken but they’d need to be pretty often for it to work) of their entire work life the whole time they’ve been at a company takes it to another level tho, right?

      1. Microsoft

      3. Your employer
      4. Governments and police
      5. Anyone who’s actually hoodwinked by the “AI is cool” marketing
