I hate that your example is the reason I’m standing link warden up. Sometimes ms leaves me thinking I’ve gone mad

Imo citizens united paved the way for the reversal. Billionaires like must are clear they need meet for the machine and the only meat that spends money is human

They are a corporation. They exist to make money for ahareholders. The reputational harm of mass surveiling their peer corpos is colossal. Sure, their could absolutely be a rouge individual and we see it time and time again, but mass scale hovering of another companies IP? Nah, expecting that borders conspiracy.

Microsoft and their business practices are shit. It is very much a take it or leave it scenerio. Amazon, the competition, just went all in on M365 services for their operations. You expect that MS is actively stealing their data to enrich themselves. Sure, possible. Their teck would allow it, but I bet the service contract mandates consent and observation anytime an MS agent engages with Amazon’s deployment. And I’d bet it all they honor that contract.

Why risk everything on spying? They are doing just fine sucking up the publics data when contracts aren’t in place. Individuals should stay the fuck away but big coropos is another game entirely

I work with our complianceand privacy attorneys and the contracts we maintain protect our data, state it is ours, and guarantees it is not used to train on ai.

I hate ms as much as anyone hear but it is misguided to think no one is protecting your or your companies intersects.

I used it today to communicate my feelings on a topic I can’t control. Like, me venting isnt going to improve my or the questioners situation.

In principal I am against thought-termination. Sometimes, like a good dog, you gotta put a thought out of its misery

Ya. Find a public one. Depending on the amount you may get some leeway in privately held but know your partner may be asked to leave

Nice. Good update. Thanks. Time does that to me

If you can, do a bike tour in Tokyo or Kyoto. It isnt exhausting but is a great way to see the city.

Onsen. If you don’t have tattoos be sure to enjoy them. If you do find a public one.

Pachinko. Absolute great way to lose 1,000 yen.

The golden temple in Kyoto is cool, but there are like thousands of temples. Find some and enjoy.

In Tokyo visit the tsukege fish market. Amazing food and perspective on culture.

Ramen. Best after a long night drinking.

If you have not booked arrangements stay in a Ryokan. Service is top notch and the experience will set a great tone for the trip.

If you are a weeb go to a maid cafe in tyoko. Play all the games and drink all the drinks and go along with whatever they suggest.

Trains. Everyone else was right.

Baseball was an awesome idea.

See a gheisha perform in Kyoto.

Idk. Have fun I guess
