Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

It's very difficult to convince my friends not to use AI tools (especially Copilot). I've tried to explain the reasons why, but to no avail; they refuse to listen.

When the CEO of M$ signed a contract with the government to use Azure. I'm sure M$ is also eyeing the use of Copilot in the government sector.

The NZ govt has gone so far into the microsoft ecosystem I'm actually concerned about it. And that includes most government departments pushing for widespread copilot usage.

This weekly thread is twenty days old.

Maybe make it monthly since there is so little traffic.

Ah damn I didn't pin the most recent one. I don't think there should be an expectation that people use it, it's there if people want it (and people have said they do in the past), and it costs nothing to have it sit there not being used.
