My first thought is they'll use chatbots to reply to constituent e-mails and phone calls, so they don't have to waste time communicating with the people they purportedly represent and can spend more time taking bribes from lobbyists.

Between Recall and Copilot, Microsoft will be privy to a lot of inside info and could potentially influence how and what Copilot generates for them via targeted "routine updates" that will be automatically installed without question.
That's what is blowing my mind. The amount of agencies and companies that are just giving microsoft their inside information to sift through because, hey, microsoft...

I guess it's fine, turns out they just pardon you for that. Not great news for us on the outside though.
