Over the weekend, did you see the much-shared story on Reddit by a supposed whistleblower?

It started like this: "I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore."

Well, it was a fake.

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.

Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

💰 Almost 3 years later, it's time to admit that Microsoft Copilot was a mistake

｢ Despite the continual issues with Windows 11 - seriously, it feels like every week something else breaks - Microsoft seems more deeply committed to cramming AI into every nook and cranny of the OS rather than taking the time to fine-tune it and actually provide a genuinely better user experience ｣
