Microsoft is cooked.

this makes me even more excited for my plans to switch to linux. I'm gonna have to go find a good backup method soon!

Using AI isn't optional? How about you review me on the results I produce instead of the tools I use to produce them?

This is ridiculous. Have people seen the recent AI code review from Audacity?? This whole AI bubble needs to burst already.

It’s the same in Amazon software development. We have like 3 different AI tools. I enjoy it for unit tests and predicting the next two lines of a simple thing, but it’s not going to refactor our codebase.

Start using ai to write all your mails and communication with managers. Turn it to LinkedIn max

While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done

Bet the AI can’t see through this.

I wonder, did they have to do this when search engines became a thing 🤔

They must really want their workforce to be less efficient while dramatically lowering quality and security across the board.

"Have any of you realized how much money we spent on 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.

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.

I had an interesting conversation today with an acquaintance. He has sent his resumé to dozens of companies now. Most of them, but not all, corporate blobs.

He wondered for a while just why the hell no one is even reaching out (he's definitely qualified for most of the positions). He then came to the idea to ask a particular commercial Artificial Stupidity software to parse it. Most of those companies use that software, or at least that's what the vendor says on its website. Turns out, that PoS software gets it all wrong. As in: everything. Positions and companies get mixed up, dates aren't correctly registered, the job descriptions it claims to have understood only remotely match what he wrote. Read: things even the most junior programmer with two weeks of experience would get right.

And it is getting used pretty much by every big firm out there.

Oh and BTW: There is ONE correct answer to the phrase 'using AI is no longer optional' : Fuck you.

Fine do whatever you want to your shit company stop forcing me to use copilot on everything. This is worse than the failed clippy

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!

Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews

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?"

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.

Corporate monopoly with overpriced products doing corporate shit

It's called dog-slopping

Windows is already garbage when humans are codeding it.
