today's story: Microsoft Copilot has an avatar, it looks like an animated blob of cum, and I am now preparing the most euphemism laden script of all time https://www.theverge.com/news/713715/microsoft-copilot-appearance-feature-age-mustafa-suleyman-interview

> “I hate my desktop,” said Suleyman ... “I look at my screen and I’m like ‘shit man I have a billboard in front of me.’ It’s just so noisy, so neon, and it’s all competing for my attention. It just looks ugly.”
Suleyman, you motherfucker, that is a YOU problem.
@davidgerard Clippy has returned at last!
@davidgerard I wish humans were good at doing things.
@davidgerard just imagine that adorable little face telling you to eat rocks or offering instructions for self harm.
@fanf This reminds me of when Slack changed its logo and mocked it as ridiculous and said it looked like "a swastika made from penises". Then in a week they all got used to it and forgot that they had ever cared.
This "animated blob of cum" thing seems very similar to me. I think it will be quickly forgotten.
Maybe people will dislike this thing (they hated Clippy) but if they do it won't be because it looks like cum.
@davidgerard brand new sentence right there
@davidgerard they owe Oglaf royalties for that design https://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/2/

@davidgerard They've doing their best to make people more cumfortable using AI, despite all the carbon emissions and seedy people involved. The visionaries at Microsoft semen and women come to love the spunky little avatar they've splooged a load of money into creating. They're hoping that this will follow Clippy's footsteps and jizz up the sterile windows desktop and the climax of all that will give their stagnant userbase a growth spurt and prove they are the cream of the AI crop.
@davidgerard what fucking planet do these geniuses live on. My god… can we just bundle them all into a rocket and fire them into the sun?
@davidgerard
Make the gestapo spy look cute ... great. I loathe the way they continue weaselling their way farther and farther into the fabric of humanity for profit and screen-time addiction.
@davidgerard lmao now that you mention it 💦
@davidgerard but it's a blob of cum with facial expressions, isn't that cute?

Not something I'm using but the infantalisation of personal computing continues with more unnecessary #enshittification
@davidgerard They really missed an opportunity here...
