Is satya a pedophile? Was his name iin the Epstein files? What i dont understand about these 9-5s is they make $20-30million/ year but still willing to slave 9-5 for the rest of his life. Mofo retire and spend time with your friends. I think these people dont have any friends. The once they have might be like "pretend friends " That's the only explanation these mofos are willing to slave and smile and get to talk to their "office friends " coz outside work nobody would talk to them.

I just rebuilt my Win 11 Pro Workstation setup (yes, it is the version for stupidly high core and thread counts), and one of the first things I did was to violently eviscerate anything AI in the system. Right after gleefully ripping out all the telemetry and spyware.
You stopped a bit short on your delete spree I guess.
But then again, I don't know your workflow and needs; so I'm glad it works for you.
"A lot" is a great, quantifiable metric there, computer man! 👍👍👍📈💯🍾
Well yeah, you rename a core product to Copilot and suddenly you have tons of users
They have like 7 different, separate, copilots 😆
Yeah cause when I instinctively click the Microsoft learn link below the Azure error it takes me to copilot instead of documentation.
I used it for my first time this year. For like a week. That was all.
Ohh, that would be all the developers at jobs with daily AI use mandates running scheduled scripts to make it look like they are using AI.
This is literally just wasting electricity to justify the existence of massive datacenters full of nvidia videocards.
I ask copilot bullshit that I don’t even read sometimes just so it looks like I’m using ai more. Because my employer demands it and will start tracking AI usage for perf evals!
Great system we have going, here.
Create a loop of copilot talking with itself using the copilot CLI 😉
This is slowly becoming very much like USSR.
I once liked saying that with capitalism and computers one can build anything, including what people rejecting capitalism (and sometimes rejecting computers) can.
So-o, yes. Anything. Including that.
Probably GitHub Copilot.
The rest just sucks.
Because they keep cramming it in all my apps at work and every time I load my email, it tries to open Copilot?
Because Slopya has been shoving it down our throats everywhere. Office, Windows, GitHub,...
AI executives don't matter
Hey, Satya. You aren't fooling anyone and you don't have the knack of bald-faced lying like Kristi and Donny.
Yea, sure. They're unwilling "active users" because they accidentally click on some copilot garbage that's been shoved into every inch of Windows. While I see plenty of folks using various AI tools, none of those tools are copilot.
Didn't they add copilot to notepad, to the file Explorer, to windows I assume as a non removable service (internet explorer anyone?), and to who knows how many more places?
Whatever metrics they claim to have are for sure not inflated. /s
If people are indeed using copilot a lot then great: good for you, please shut up, you don't need me on-board.
Lol, no
Oh no you should not say slop it hurts feelings.
Clanker-wankers don't have feelings

Yeah, MS Teams (not my choice) had a pop-up that said that in order for a meeting to be recorded, I needed to accept that my video and what I say will be used by Microsoft for various purposes including training copilot.
So, that counts as me using copilot, right? /s
edit: A word
People are using AI a lot, or people were already using programs with recently added AI features a lot?
Day 1: We have 1 million Excel users.
Day 2: we added Copilot to Excel, we have 1 million new CoPilot users!
One of my bosses was screen sharing with me this week and had co-pilot up in Excel. I don't know what he was doing with it. he started fucking around with it while he was screen sharing, just doing something unrelated to what we were talking about. I know he was just trying to bait me into asking what was going on.
fuck that, I don't care, I know you love your AI, I don't give a shit, it's not useful for what I do and I don't want to talk about how it can almost do something kind of right
I love/hate that this is a common experience. Someone did this to me too, although this was sort of a work friend taking the piss.
I have straight up backhandedly implied people senior to me who get paid 5x more than I do are throwing any possible expertise they might have out of the window. To their face. My stance on these slop extruders is well known among my colleagues.
I’ve even told people who used them in front of me, in a gentle but unflinching way, that their willingness to use them uncritically is a red flag for me and that comparing my genuine work to general machine output is something I can’t simply decide not to take as an insult. Including people who are supposed to review my work. As a professional I have to do something that exceeds the first page of Google in specificity. I do the long yards. Why is that suddenly a problem? If our work was this simple why are we getting paid to do it?
Some of these people trust me enough that they’re getting queasy about the whole AI thing after initially giving in. Yeah it’s decent at summarizing mass emails from corporate. Summarizing mass emails from corporate is not our fucking job. At least two people were paid subscribers to OpenAI’s product and no longer pay for chatbots. Proselytizing against the death of critical thinking is not a lost cause.
I have to get the fuck out of corporate.
I see you know corporate math well
They renamed "Office 365" to "Microsoft 365 Copilot".
Isn't Copilot integrated with the Windows taskbar search?
I think the sole reason Copilot is used at all is because they've forced it in applications it has no place in, and requires it remain on by default.
It only makes sense economically when they have as many people as possible using it and giving feedback.
Where feedback can be concealed, like how your actions after requesting advice correlate with it, or whether you clarify your request and how many times.
I have never liked having a search box in the taskbar. My taskbar is for pinned programs, open programs, volume, Ethernet/wifi, and a clock. Nothing more.
You can remove copilot from windows 11 completely now...with an outside program.
When I'm imagining some Win3.11-style UI, like in Star Wars: Rebellion game, I feel that a search box in the taskbar would be fine. The results should come up in a new normal separate window, of course. Not in a poisoned version of star menu.
The issue is not with having a control element in the taskbar. The issue is with those control elements being very hard to use. The response times are bad. The elements are not clearly separated. The results coming up are hard to navigate. It's as if you were badly drugged and trying to find something in a heap of black sheets with luminous text in a dark room.
And also dynamic search on every change of that field is idiotic. They might do auto-completion if it's fast.
I love having a search box on my taskbar. I want it to search my PC for installed apps and files and nothing else. I certainly don't want to do a fucking Bing search for "Settings"
It seems like a waste of space on the taskbar, to me
In the Start Menu/Finder/KRunner/wofi I want it to search, but I don't need the text input box visible at all times taking space

Well, if you count its uninstall feature, sure.
Yeah, by accident.
I have it on my work laptop, because unfortunately my company bought into the hype. Every once in a while I ask it how to do a thing, just to see if it will help. So far copilot has been wrong 100% of the time.
I have to give it this much respect: When I logged in to office.com (for work) recently and was confronted with the Copilot chat-box, I asked it how to disable Copilot. It was honest, and told me that it's not possible because this is Microsoft's new product strategy. Then, I asked how I could never see Copilot again.
It (no joke!) told me to install Linux.

Whether they like it or not.
And are these people using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot in the room with us now, Satya?
