Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October
"...Next month, Microsoft will begin automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps....Redmond also advised admins to notify their organizations' helpdesk teams and users before the app is forcibly installed on their devices "to reduce confusion and support requests."..."

🔥 GitHub Copilot on autopilot as community complaints persist
｢ A favorite tactic of theirs recently is they will enable a thing by default and put an off switch, wait six months, and then slightly change or rename the feature you turned off, and create a new off switch you have to separately turn off. They did this with Bing in Windows 10 and now they're doing it with Copilot in their developer tools ｣

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.
… I was quoted in The Register:
> “The problems w/ #GitHub have been growing for some time. We at #SFC have always been concerned about the issue of using proprietary software to write #FOSS. However, the integration w/ #Copilot so deeply into the platform, and #Microsoft's flagrant use of content hosted on GitHub to train their own LLMs makes a departure from GitHub urgent for all FOSS developers.”

The Register:
“#Codeberg beset by #AI bots that now bypass Anubis tarpit”…
https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/15/codeberg_beset_by_ai_bots/
… has The Register's usual click-bait sensationalism title, but the article itself is excellent. I'm glad these attacks on @Codeberg are getting some press coverage. The Register asked me for comment; I include my quotes below, but definitely click-through the article — at least to thank The Register for covering this important issue that few would cover.

I was really hopeful about #Ecosia but then they, like #Mozilla, turned to #LLM and put a (really poorly implemented) AI Chat feature in their product. 😬
For a business whose goal is to better the environment and plant trees, I would have thought their ethos would be anti-AI. 🤔
Anyway, now they're collaborating with #Qwant to make a new European-based search index called #Staan to power AI products.
I'm not even COMPLETELY against AI - It's my job to make #Copilot for #Microsoft 365. 🥲
I just thought a company like #Ecosia wouldn't even try to compete in the #AI space, but rather focus their attention on other types of innovation. 🔬
