Microsoft clarified that they do not use customer data from Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, to train their large language models. The connected experiences feature, enabled by default since 2019, powers features like co-authoring, real-time grammar suggestions, and web-based resources, but is not related to AI model training.
  • Microsoft does not use customer data from Microsoft 365 for AI training
  • Connected experiences feature is unrelated to large language model training
  • Users can control connected experiences settings

Shownotes Transcript

Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte discuss Microsoft's clarification about AI training data usage, a fascinating breakthrough in understanding autonomous vehicle vulnerabilities, and an urgent call for help from the Tor Network. The show culminates in an in-depth exploration of NASA's incredible Voyager 1 mission, which continues to communicate with Earth from nearly a light-day away despite increasing technical challenges.

• Microsoft clarifies they are NOT using customer data from Office apps to train AI models • "Digital epileptic seizures" caused by flashing emergency vehicle lights can confuse automated driving systems, posing crash risks • Tor Network issues urgent call for volunteers to run new WebTunnel bridges to circumvent censorship in Russia • Zello asks its 140 million users to change passwords as a precautionary measure, hinting at a possible data breach • FTC opens broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft's business practices across software, cloud, cybersecurity, and AI • New Android scareware tactic simulates a seriously cracked and malfunctioning smartphone screen • Steve argues it's likely safe to leave Wireguard VPN ports open, but he prefers not to out of an abundance of caution • Research shows AI training on AI-generated content can lead to homogeneity and loss of diversity in outputs • Australia passes world-first law banning children under 16 from social media, with hefty fines for non-compliant platforms • NASA's Voyager 1 probe, nearly a light-day from Earth, resumes operations after a communications scare but faces mounting technical challenges as it nears the end of its life
