I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I'm sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn't locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.

    I work IT at a university that does medical research, and the doctors and their assistants are by FAR the biggest security pit among all the demographics: staff, students, various faculties. You could tell them you were official password inspector and flash an ID written in crayon on a used napkin and they'd just "yeah whatever, here you go, stop bothering me".

    They'd get chewed into paste by their directors after the inevitable happened and their compatriots would learn NOTHING.
