:D

Not that I have any sympathy for them but technically speaking, can we say "Microsoft does X" when it was just a "brand protection LLM"?
For sure they chose it to be an outward connection but are we really now stating that an LLM can represent a company? I feel like that's both "you are stupid for using LLMs that way" and empowering LLMs at the same time

They are the ones who configured the tool to be used this way. Yes, Microsoft did that.

The phrasing is really weird too. Like I would understand if they were asserting their trademark, but saying it’s an account they’ve lost access to?

They don’t even say they lost access. Lol they just say delete it. Fuck these assholes.

They say they do not have access to it.
Show threadjayboneSep 9, 2025
Yeah. I don’t have access to it either. What does that mean? Of course they don’t have access to it. It’s not their account.

You're always responsible for the actions of those that you choose to represent you. Regardless of how stupid they may be.
