Microsoft: "We're going to integrate ML into our public search engine, then upload all users' private content, tax returns, and homemade "movies" into that same ML system"

Yup, wonderful idea. This _definitely_ won't go sideways immediately after roll-out.

@cdp1337 no one says they’ll do that on purpose. But equally damaging mistakes have happened with Windows. (I’m recalling a nasty bug around 2018 or 2019 that just wiped out entire documents / photos folders.)

@killyourfm My concern is less of your personal data will end up on bing, (though that's certainly a possibility), but more of juice for the ML which will get saved in their database, potentially leading to data leaks.

ie: "How much did so-and-so pay in taxes in 2021?"

For a system that is supposed to be adaptive and responsive based on learned data, this poses difficulties in data management, and part of the reason that my employer (smartly for once), disallows any ML/AI of our internal data.
