Since MS is baking copilot into everything, I wonder how long until they weaponize copilot like this. Years ago when they had Delve in O365, I had a manager using that to keep track of the documentation I was working on and we got into a pretty nasty argument when he was critiquing a doc that was in the ROUGH DRAFTS folder because... you know... it wasn't completed... because... it was a rough draft.

It wouldn't take much for them to use copilot to aggregate the metrics with your emails received/sent, reading/scrolling time on an email, various docs, and Teams messages. That data could be used to infer how "busy" (idle?) you are.

The sarcasm was apparently lost in my comment. I was implying that Musk is pushing hard to get Tesla batteries into peoples houses and so this will conveniently encourage more sales for him. I don't buy the whole "falling out" that Musk and Trump had because at the core of it, it was all about making money. Now that they're allegedly no longer BFF's, acts that encourage the enrichment of his portfolio aren't as heavily scrutinized.

Then again we all know the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and none of us are getting paid regardless of who's in charge.

If only there was a company out there that was pushing batteries for your house similar to the batteries in their cars. If only there was a company that did that...

Apologize for The Facebook first

The laptops have a stupid ass copilot key on them.

It's also harder and harder to find non-"AI" PC's so yes they're technically selling better but when that's all that's in stock, that's all you're going to get. Similar to how most of the cars sold are white, silver, beige, red, and black. That's what's readily available and so that's what people are buying.

Or are they "using AI for search" because all of the major search providers colossally suck at netting results that aren't ads? You know... kinda like how Google used to function.

Just imagine what could be accomplished if he spent that on making the platform less toxic.

He's a glorified crack dealer promising to invest in cleaner crack houses so that customers can get their next fix in a nicer environment.

If they open source this product, then people could see their proprietary... errrr... crap-tastic code and see what they were REALLY doing.

Since they get golden parachutes and the next one will get paid more than their predecessor, is this really a good sign?

HP would like to show you how it's done

If someone's trying to steal your belongings, then you need to do your due diligence in protecting them. If you have a Picasso at home then you need to take stronger precautions than simply locking your door.

The same mentality applies to digital possessions (proprietary code). If you have something that's that valuable to your business then you need to invest in protecting it. This means spending money on infrastructure security. Otherwise buzz off and sell your snake oil somewhere else.

Dump it all into the Metaverse. At least that way we know it'll be safe from everyone since no one would ever look there.

They must be serious if the CEO is let go. Luckily GM owns Cruise and will be there to hold their hand in the absence of their CEO. What could possibly go wrong?

I had a "smart" Moen faucet that chewed up 6 D batteries a month until I got it onto WiFi and it performed a firmware update. Then the batteries lasted 10 months.

Now that I've replaced the faucet, I should send it to this Microsoft clown and let him deal with that insanity.
