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. 🔬

｢ There is a concept called “Copilot Lag”. It refers to a state where after each action, an engineer pauses, waiting for something to prompt them what to do next. There is no self-sufficiency, just the act of waiting for an AI to tell them what should come next. It’s akin to where a junior in the field might start - relying on their more senior colleagues to guide them and understand how to proceed ｣

Developers Built the AI. Now They’re Forced to Rent It.

｢ These aren’t engineers talking; they’re salespeople in suits. And they’re selling back to us what we built for free.

This is the real arrogance: the belief that owning compute means owning the future of developers. That with enough capital and GPU clusters, you can just dictate who stays relevant and who gets left behind ｣

Microsoft releases Gaming Copilot (Beta) to Xbox Insiders, promising an AI companion "to help get you past those obstacles." A handheld-optimized version for the ROG Xbox Ally is also under development. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/08/06/gaming-copilot-beta-begins-rolling-out-to-xbox-insiders-on-game-bar-today/#AI#Xbox#Microosft#Copilot#GamingCopilot

Hey #foss advocates and lovers of #opensource #software and projects. What #repos are you using to share your work? It seems #github is getting controversial with #copilot Are people somewhat content with the fact that open source projects are being used for training data and just keep using github because it's useful and that's where people are or are folks looking at self-hosting or other options? @jorge curious about UBlue's position. Thanks!

I just asked #CoPilot to correct spelling and grammar mistakes and to suggest improvements in an English text.

I looked at the result and could see any changes.

I asked CoPilot to highlight the changes. It did. 11 of them.

I checked again. It turned out 9 of the 11 instances were no changes or corrections (one was a spelling correction, and one was inserting the full name of a person).

This #LLM stuff seems to get worse even for my simple glorious autocomplete task 🤬

Apparemment, si vous ne voulez pas payer 99€ pour renouveler votre abonnement #office365 il suffit d'aller dans la partie résiliation.
Avant de valider, #Microsoft vous proposera l'ancien tarif, soit 69€, mais vous n'aurez pas #Copilot.
Dommage.

Sinon vous prenez #LibreOffice, hein. C'est mieux, mais c'est moins cher.

Software innovation might be freezing in place—and AI could be to blame. Theo Browne points out that Copilot and ChatGPT often return React-style code even for Solid or Elixir projects. Why? Because they’ve seen React a million times more. Python 3 took a decade to overtake Python 2. If that transition had to happen today, would our dependence on AI suggestions keep us from making the jump?

Have had another go at trying to get #Copilot to write me some #Rstats code that will work with the new ONS API. A very frustrating process that ended, again, in failure. I don't know why the ONS changed things. But I suspect the end result is fewer people can download the data.

🍿 MS is dogfooding Copilot on Github, what could possibly go wrong.

OMG. #Microsoft#Copilot bypasses #Sharepoint #security so you don’t have to!

“CoPilot gets privileged access to SharePoint so it can index documents, but unlike the regular search feature, it doesn’t know about or respect any of the access controls you might have set up. You can get CoPilot to just dump out the contents of sensitive documents that it can see, with the bonus feature* that your access won’t show up in audit logs.”

The S in CoPilot stands for Security!
