🔥 Microsoft 365 Copilot's commercial failure

“Today we’re introducing Office Agent, a multi-agent system that builds upon an open-source stack, Anthropic's Claude model, and a new taste-driven development (TDD) paradigm to deliver polished PowerPoint presentations, ready-to-use Word documents, and soon Excel spreadsheets.”

When I posted on LinkedIn about Microsoft 365 Copilot's 2% adoption rate after 2y being a commercial failure, some folks said "that's not failure". So, I decided to illustrate it with an interactive report/quiz. Here's the intro:

I don't plan to challenge @davidgerard Pivot-to-AI with daily failure videos quite yet.😅 But I do like to remind #Microsoft365 partners about what kind of a "success story" they've strapped their businesses to with #Copilot.

How organized are your thoughts? How well can you articulate what you want to do? How clear is your vision for what you are trying to build? In the future, these are the things that will separate the good software developers from the not so good ones.

Being able to express your ideas in an organized, actionable way will become the new "learning to code".

Microsoft is brining "Vibe Working" to MS Office, with agentic AI features that let you perform complex tasks in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint without necessarily... knowing how to do those things. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.theverge.com/news/787076/microsoft-office-agent-mode-office-agent-anthropic-models #AI #Microsoft #Copilot #MSOffice #Excel #PowerPoint #VibeWorking

***** Using Big Tech AI Tools in the fascist U.S. or other countries is a trap *****

Given the rising fascist environment in the U.S. and around the world, I urge you to consider very carefully whether you should be using ANY Big Tech #AI features (including the AI features #Google is about to push into the Chrome browser and is already promoting) that involve injecting your email or web browsing or other activities into these AI systems. #Microsoft #Copilot and other firms' AI tools (including all of Google's) that, effectively, spy on your activities (whether with your explicit permission or not) are a trap when faced with fascist governments who are eager to pressure Big Tech firms into providing data en masse to surveil their populations. There is no reason to have any faith whatsoever that the Big Tech Billionaires controlling these firms will do anything but quickly buckle under demands (or even initially requests) from these fascist leaders. I get no joy at all out of saying this.

Microsoft releases a preview of Semantic file search to Windows Insiders with Copilot+ PCs. It will let you describe the thing you're looking for and attempt to surface matching files including docs and images. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/08/20/copilot-on-windows-semantic-search-and-new-homepage-begin-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/#Copilot#CopilotPlusPC#Windows11#SemanticFileSearch#AI#Microsoft

I tried a GitHub Copilot PR review as it's been ages since I last did.

It was wrong on 3 out of 3 suggestions it made:

1. It suggested inverting the IP ACL and API key check such that it'd have allowed anyone to purge anything from our CDN cache
2. It said I'd got some basic logic wrong (I hadn't) on 1 of ~20 changes of the same type (var not set or var == "" -> strlen(var) == 0)
3. It made up a service name and wanted me to use that

What a pile of shit.
