Incredibile constatare come /storicamente/ i reparti *marketing* (che sono quelli che determinano l'agenda dei reparti R&D) non imparano mai nulla dai propri errori: - Bob, 1995, rititato nel 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Agent - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana_(virtual_assistant) ... e l'ultima evoluzione: Copilot! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Copilot > The agent software will handle web-based tasks un Copilot con accesso automatico al conto corrente delle vostre banche! :-D «Alexa, ricordati di pagare il bollo auto...ah, e la multa dell'autovelox"» --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- According to Alan Cooper, the "Father of Visual Basic", the concept of Clippit was based on a "tragic misunderstanding" of research conducted at Stanford University, showing that the same part of the brain in use while using a mouse or keyboard was also responsible for emotional reactions while interacting with other human beings and thus is the reason people yell at their computer monitors.[11] Microsoft concluded that if humans reacted to computers the same way they react to other humans, it would be beneficial to include a human-like face in their software.[11] As people already related to computers directly as they do with humans, the added human-like face emerged as an annoying interloper distracting the user from the primary conversation.[11] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant#History) --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Cortana indexed and stored user information. Cortana could have been disabled; this caused Windows search to search Bing as well as the local computer, but that also could have been disabled. Turning Cortana off did not in itself delete user data stored on Microsoft's servers, but data were able to be deleted by user action.[89] Microsoft was further criticized for requests to Bing's website for a file called "threshold.appcache", which contained Cortana's information through searches made through the Start Menu, even when Cortana was disabled on Windows 10.[90][91] As of April 2014, Cortana was disabled for users aged under 13 years.[92] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana_(virtual_assistant)#Privacy_concerns) Evidenzio come i "concerns" relativi alla privacy *pare* stiano gradualmente sparendo con l'introduzione di Copilot, evidentemente con l'introduzione dell'AI... cambia tutto.

Saluti, 380° -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
