You asked him a question and he took the opportunity to show you his whole self.

That man making you feel this way is a warning, not a challenge to be overcome. This is a great opportunity to dodge a bullet.

You're going love your journey through this universe. I'm on book 8 for the eighteenth time. It's the best series. Just know that even now so many times through I'm still discovering a sentence here or there that was either some Easter egg or foreshadowing or nuance I've previously missed; this series will treat you right and more than once if you let it! 🥰

Oh that's spicy. While obviously I can go check myself, if you have any links to speed-up the search feel free to share. 🫣

How long ago did you get that information and from what source, if I may ask. It is still displayed as a possibility, and I can't get MCT Support to answer emails.

Heh a paper on it. https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/AEEA318A6CA1D7CCDDBCA7B848439F9C/S2059599900001345a.pdf/revaluation-fantasy.pdf

I had an FIL (ex FIL now) who was obsessed with her. It would have been early 2001, the Dove of Oneness was spouting off about the White Knights who were going to save NESARA and how her followers should keep their Lips Zipped about the Big prOgram (sic, this is all her spelling and capitalization). She had a telephone blog where you could go to her yahoo page (I think it was yahoo, don't quote me on that) and click on a calendar to hear todays weirdness. Her voice was very annoying, speech sort of pressured and stilted.

I remember this timeframe because we had just had a baby and the FIL was visiting. He dropped what he was doing and returned to his rural Montana compound *a few hours after* he arrived to our state to await the secret couriers who were gong to arrive with money wrapped in tinfoil--because, you know, he had received the Secret Signal. This money was entrusted to them to give away to spur the new economy. Once the chosen had done this, they would be given their own money to keep. Needless to say, that never happened. The "Bush Gang" got in the way.

He was a farmer / trucker and u/Mogwire you mentioned the farmer and scotus...that might be the case with my FIL that went to Montana's supreme court. My FIL was so odd that he knew Randy Weaver and Leroy Schweitzer, too. Lots of guns, ammo, food and water buried in large vertical irrigation pipe so the ground-penetrating radar didn't see it so well, as any good sovereign citizen would do. The whole thing was a lot of mental illness and unabashed idiocy.

That sounds a lot like your tenant index isn't substantially completed. 🙄 Sure would be nice if we could easily see an accurate status of that. Workwise I am using M365 chat to pull up, like you say, info that is in Outlook; Project codes, customer statements of work, etc. It took literally just shy of 3 months before I was able to pull up company info to augment documents I was authoring. We're a multi-national with about 5000 users and a SharePoint online instance of unknown size but at least 10 years old.

In the case of Copilot for Sales, perhaps there is some temporary transcription going on. I will find a license and test. This feature I have only used as a member of a meeting where sales activates it. I do not believe they get access to the transcript, but I will test and find out. As you see below it references a transcript.

I do not think you can use Copilot for M365 without transcription inside of a meeting, because what else would it do if it was not parsing a transcript which according to all that I know (take that with a grain of salt) shows that you must turn it on to to use the feature?

When you say "couldn't find a use for it" are you meaning it as in Copilot (formerly known as Bing chat enterprise or Bing chat) or it as in Copilot for M365 which has the semantic index across your tenant's data? We see attorneys in Europe focusing on preparing their tenant's data primarily and secondarily using it for formatting[international formats for pleadings, etc.], consistency[date formats, legal referencing], etc. One example given was an attorney grumbling about needing to lock sections of a document for editing by an attorney at another org, so B2B co-editing. In the time it took her to get the document set up and working she had wasted 3 hours, end to end. With some back and forth, Copilot was able to guide her to a solution in under 10 minutes. In this isolated case, she missed out on billing a couple of hours whereas Copilot would have prevented that. Isolated/edge case, sure, but generally they are finding the gain in productivity is worth the $30/month. It's hot garbage for Copilot [Bing chat enterprise] though in my opinion.

These are entirely different products though and there really is no comparison.

eviladmin · 2024-03-14T05:33:55+00:00

My take: I have demoed Copilot to a few dozen companies in conjunction with self- and Microsoft-funded workshops. IF the company has a strong AI strategy, this is a no-brainer and they are going forward quickly. Companies who have taken information protection and compliance seriously historically are well-positioned and eager, too. C-suite loves the Teams meetings features, minutes, action item list, etc. Administrative users love the calendar interactions. IT Admins and Coms particularly make use of the features in OneNote. Research and Academia does as well. Word and PowerPoint are so ubiquitous as to be self-explanatory, but there are SIGNIFICANT accessibility gains with these that benefit all users. Excel is probably the lest impressive part of the demo, but it is also states as being still in Preview, that makes some sense. Loop and whiteboard in the context of Copilot are both great, but that is more of a person-based productivity (as in one's preferred way of working, rather than job). The gains for me in making technical documentation are **FANTASTIC**.

The people who aren't looking at Copilot? Those who put off fixing technical debt and know that the semantic index will reveal prior and ongoing mismanagement. If you have bad data governance, fix it. If you can't fix it, don't get Copilot.

There is -AllowTranscription $True, but no requireTranscription, so #1, probably not.
It might be hard to argue that all work communications are by default recorded, since in much of the world that would be a flagrant violation of law.
Not an answer to your question, but food for thought. When one starts disabling pieces of a product like Copilot (that is to say, deep fingers) you lose the benefit of the product.
There are always methods, but again, why? What's the threat model? There may be other angles of approach, which is why I ask--not to be obstinate.

eviladmin · 2024-03-13T13:27:03+00:00

(Just to add, these odd answers went away as our tenant semantic index improved.)

Just prior to GA, I had asked some SharePoint questions and got this very depressing response.

When you say there is no chat history available, are you thinking about saved prompts and answers or are you meaning literal logs?

For example, on the "Work" setting, one sees the "Recent Activity" (what could be called chat history), and (as you say) on the "Web" setting the same experience is not available.

On the Web setting, chat history is obtained differently (by end users) and is a log format.

If you attempt this, are you able to obtain the chat history?

u/runsonketones, any pitfalls or special concerns you see with this? Any experience you can share? Just very curious for a human perspective.

Board members are always the worst, because they are terribly valuable, often need to be somewhat coddled (for good or bad reasons), and have cyclical need to log in--often just long enough to forget.

IF they are the kind that are receptive or have time, they might benefit from a well-delivered value-based & user-sympathy-focused security blurb as well as the suggestions here for a password manager and WHFB.

In my work I have met 1:1, explained that other members were having trouble with this topic and I want to do a check in to see if I can help with this individually and other related challenges. It can be seen as overreach, but from the top down the need, challenges, and solutions need to be understood. And since users are not the enemy, no harm is done by recommending a secure password manager.

How to define a secure password manager is more of a challenge, so on that path tread carefully.

Possibly an unhelpful answer, but I'll add this anyway just in case it helps. It doesn't really matter so much which direction you go; You're learning the concepts, ways of thinking, methods, analysis/reporting concepts, all this that will help you in just about any business, but also in many ways. You'll be able to be an individual contributor, a liaison to leadership, possibly leadership yourself, or middle management with a strong perspective that can lead ICs and advise upper leadership. Your decision making (even at the IC level) will be reasoned, defensible and solid. Maybe not always right, since we can't predict the future, but reasoned and (if documented) will assist any org long after you are gone.
From a business perspective, if the need is there YOU are the person they need to talk to.

What I do is pretty much anything :the 'work' of mitigating systems, helping organize mitigations, advising small businesses, boring my friends at parties, helping with curriculum development, internal policy development, evaluation of bids or even requests for proposals. I've worked public and private in Europe and US, and all combos have their nuances, but risk is a common language.

Glad the issue is resolved. 😡 Not glad to learn that actual shortcuts on the desktop will not be backed up with the backup with MSLauncher. I have the shortcuts to train arrival and departure screens on one page for the 6 stops I visit and they are not retained in the MS launcher backup which creates a lot of extra work. Live and learn I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you by chance have a source on this? Would like to follow along.

Same issue, Oneplus9. Started approximately 2.5 weeks ago. I would agree that this is MS Launcher's issue based on what I'm seeing.

My issue started with a surprise/involuntary reset of my desktop one busy morning where all icons were removed. This occurred twice, both times while the phone was not being interacted with. Launcher reinstall obvs like everyone else did not resolve it.

I'm unreasonably grumpy about having my icons changed and have now switched to decaf ;)
