That seams to be one of the best use cases for this, provided you can run it without giving Microsoft a lot of data directly. Else this is a no-no for enterprises imo.
Many large enterprises already store almost everything on 365 and azure. Other than budget, the only thing they need to turn on copilot is for it to adopt the same data privacy guarantees already available in 365.
Sure, but most (if not all?) of us have language in our customer agreements that Microsoft doesn't have rights to just start browsing our OneDrive libraries and Exchange inboxes without a support contract explicitly authorizing access for support purposes. Just like, sure, I technically have access to a bunch of PHI at my workplace - but touching it without a valid reason is a one-way ticket to the unemployment line.
But unlike Microsoft's other services, AI needs data to train on - are they going to be content just sourcing this from the internet at large or have we finally hit an inflection point where they try to get business and enterprise customers to give access in exchange for these features? That's a big no-no to anyone in a field that deals with sensitive information, and in most all cases an equally big no-no to anyone in a company that wants to keep things confidential.

You don't have language in your agreement that Microsoft cannot use your data to provide or improve service. You have language that says _support personnel_ cannot access your data without approval.
Microsoft already indexes your mailbox, OneDrive, etc.
Viva Topics has been around for ~2 years which mines content across various services.
The integration mentions working with Microsoft Graph API, and it’s doing the generation on the client, so seems plausible this has no more access than any other OAuth app. The Graph API can be locked down with Access Policies. I’m sure there will be features to further cordon off data to the AI, similar to how OneDrive has an encrypted vault which is not accessible from the Graph API.
This is a service for companies that already store all of their e-mail, documents, files, chat, etc with Microsoft. If there was a concern about data privacy that company wouldn’t be using Microsoft 365 in the first place. I think the bigger concern is how your data is used for training. If it is at all, I don’t know.
Nah, Chrome is larger than that. I built NixOS 22.11 from source and Chromium took over 6 hours on a Ryzen 7 3800XT with 32GB of RAM. Had to run the build on spinning rust though, because neither my SSD and certainly not my tmpfs were large enough.
Question for people with fastmail and a .net custom domain: Do you usually get blocked sometimes? I wanted to send an email to my therapist and one email to my insurance but both had blocked me. A mailbox.org address worked just fine.
Is it because of the domain or because of the .net ending?
