While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; doneBet the AI can’t see through this.
As a heavy AI user on a daily basis…Copilot is hands down one of, if not the worst, in existence.
This will not end well for them.
Fine do whatever you want to your shit company stop forcing me to use copilot on everything. This is worse than the failed clippy
The only hope for Microsoft is if Xbox takes over all of Microsoft and transforms the whole company
Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews
Malicious compliance time, full-on Vibe coding, just accept all changes. Who cares about optimisation, readability, or documentation. You’re using AI anything goes.
In the list of things nobody cares about, you forgot “actually do what’s asked”. Use these tool for a very short while and be amazed at how bad it is to do things that are extremely well known and documented.
They must really want their workforce to be less efficient while dramatically lowering quality and security across the board.
They are banking on the AI will eventually be smart enough that it will replace the workers that fed it.
Hackers are about to have a golden era
Windows is already garbage when humans are codeding it.
How very corporate of them: people don’t want to do something? Screw finding out why, let’s make it mandatory and poof, problem solved!
Apparently no longer optional for their customers either, based on how hard they are pushing it in Office 365, sorry Microsoft 365, no sorry Microsoft 365 Copilot.
The latest change of dumping you into a Copilot chat immediately on login and hiding all the actually useful stuff is just desperation incarnate.
The process to log in to the online portal of Outlook is so bad it’s crossed into comical territory. So much friction, only to shunt you to a full screen
clippycopilot page.I’d be curious to know what the usage statistics are for that page. Like, what could a person possibly accomplish there?
I feel like this is going to cause so many problems in the near future. They’re not ready for it and they don’t even know.
Corporate monopoly with overpriced products doing corporate shit
It’s called dog-slopping
Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it’s a dog eating its own vomit.
At your next job interview ask them if they are results driven or methodology driven. “If I were to take twice as long to do something by using a poorly designed tool will I be rewarded or punished?”
Being judged by a fancy magic 8 ball, the future keeps getting better and better.
Same at my company. The frustrating part is they want us to use coding assistance, which is fine, but I really don’t code that much. I spend most of my time talking to other teams and vendors, reading docs, filing tickets, and trying to assign tasks to Jr devs. For AI to help me with that I need to either type all of my thoughts into the LLM which isn’t efficient at all or I need it to integrate with systems I’m not allowed to integrate with because there are SLOs that need to be maintained (i.e. can’t hammer the API and make others experience worse).
So it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. Instead of making a gallon of lemonade out of one lemon I need to use this “new lemonade machine” to start a multinational lemonade business.
Ditto.
But I manage a team of embedded developers. On a specialised commercially restricted embedded platform.
AI does not know a thing about our tech. The stuff it does know is either a violation of the vendors contractual covenants or made up bullshit. And Our vendor’s documentation is supplemented by a cumulative decades of knowledge.
Yet still “you gotta use AI”.
The key highlight being: you don’t need more than a gallon of lemonade. I for once wished big corps heard their engineers and domain experts over wall street loving exec’s.
Why would they do that? If they’re making better quarterly results by listening to Wall St, that’s what the system tells them to do.
