Is "How to be a decent human being and an innovative CEO" one of them?
This reeks of desperation.

Nah, I think this is the future. You may not like it because HN is very privacy focused and hate giving data away to companies. However, I think it's inevitable that people will want to feed all their work data (and probably personal as well) to an LLM and let it help. I think Nadella's examples are pretty spot on for what current LLMs can do for workers if the LLMs have access to work data.
I think it's exciting personally. I think companies who care about data privacy will run some kind of private inference cloud or private DGX racks.

This is a big assumption from your side. Care to back it up? Where did I talk about Privacy?

Apologies. Not referring to you specifically. Just general HN opinion. People here values data privacy far more than the general public.

I didn't mean to sound aggressive, apologies for that as well.
Let me explain: in my view, he is doing a lot to try and hype up Microsoft's AI offerings and this latest attempt feels like the kind of thing an employee does to hit some arbitrary KPIs.

He's the CEO of Microsoft. I don't blame him for trying to hype up Microsoft's AI offerings.
But at the same time, I like what he demonstrated even if it doesn't work as well as his demos. I believe all work data should be ingestible by an LLM. I'm just anticipating a wave of opposition on HN because people here value data privacy far more than the general public.

All those prompts seem like they’d have a high probability of hallucinations. Is he making decisions to steer a massive company based on stuff the AI may have simply made up? If a person feeds me bad data as often a Copilot does, I wouldn’t trust them with anything.
It’s incredible the error rate we are willing to tolerate from AI. It’s drastically higher than the error rate we would ever tolerate from a coworker.
Considering how much money Microsoft put into OpenAI, he has a very vested interest in hyping it to try and get it to pay off, but I can’t believe he actually relies on those queries.
