I don’t mean compromised, I mean your IT manager has an acceptable use policy, which all staff agree to in writing, and the IT folks have to pass audits that say they can assure management they know what happens in the company network.
I agree that keyloggers are dystopian, and honestly overkill unless you are paranoid about proprietary data. But you should follow the same philosophy as your network architecture: Zero Trust.
When you’re at work and using work devices, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Just because you take the laptop home doesn’t make it suddenly your personal device. It makes it a liability to you.
Never ever log in to a personal account for anything at work, because you shouldn’t trust your work with your privacy. If you do, you should just know you need to immediately change your password because it’s now on a cleartext log file somewhere where many humans can read it. Consider it compromised.
Imagine being called a “normie” and liking it.
I’m a moderate user for code. LLMs are not smart, they’re pattern machines. Anyone who cedes critical thinking to them without due diligence, gets what they deserve, and likely didn’t really have much in the way of critical thought in the first place.
These companies are all trying to figure out how to monetize their latest juked benchmark stat and create something with actual value equivalent to the billions in investment they’ve thrown into processing. The industry is awash in startups dong the same thing 90000 ways. Human lust for money and power is the most nefarious thing about it all.
Because it’s a fear-mongering angle that still sells. AI has been a vehicle for scifi for so long that trying to convince Boomers that of won’t kill us all is the hard part.
I’m a moderate user for code and skeptic of LLM abilities, but 5 years from now when we are leveraging ML models for groundbreaking science and haven’t been nuked by SkyNet, all of this will look quaint and silly.
Even under the GDPR, an employer can monitor you camera, mic, and keystrokes of they really want on a work device.
Seriously, no one is entitled to unlimited personal use, and explicit trust, of a work device. It’s a work-owned device, it’s not your shit! This isn’t hard. They give you the same “click/sign here” for a use policy that any social media site gives you (900 pages shorter). No one should be upset by this unless they are already behind the curve in general, or are pushing fake outrage.
