I have an older am3+ mb with a ryzen fx-8350 black edition (I think built in 2012). It was my windows 10 machine but with the eol of win 10 I decided to install arch and gnome on it instead.
It would be plenty of powerful enough still to run win 11 (I know registry hacks work to install) but frankly I'm just over microsoft, their telemetry, their ad tech, and most importantly chatgpt/github copilot
The Gene Kim Vibe Coding book... all the claims are it's a 10x revolution. Does that mean it contains secret sauce, or will it have to cheat by changing the definition of Vibe Coding?
Microsoft tries to keep its consumer Copilot out of New York Times AI copyright case - Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI CEO, leads the consumer Copilot team.

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 
@davidgerard How about the "3 million agents" that have been created on Microsoft's cloud in the past year, according to their FY25 Q4 earnings call? Because in reality, the vast majority of the agents are like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeOjtcA3VY
Without a deep background in software development/architecture, and without serious thinking & reasoning (and much more research!) about the generated code, it would have been a really terrible, un-maintainable solution! #PostgreSQL #Rust #React #FullStack #AI #CoPilot #VSCode
The mobile frontend (iOS, Android) is implemented with Expo. Everything is hosted in a Visual Studio Code based DevContainer. I haven't written a single line of code, but I had to guide CoPilot very often in the right direction (e.g. SQL statements directly in the REST handler - WTF?). #PostgreSQL #Rust #React #FullStack #AI #CoPilot #VSCode
In less than a working day, I have created a fully working distributed Full-Stack application with GitHub CoPilot. It features a Rust-based async REST API server (using Axum) with a PostgreSQL database as storage, and multiple frontends. The web frontend is implemented in React + Next.js. #PostgreSQL #Rust #React #FullStack #AI #CoPilot #VSCode
Yesterday, a customer discussed some requirements of our software. The responsible developer (with more than 20 years of programming experience) explained the background to the customer.
The customer's reaction: "Copilot says that's not true..." (with a long, generated reply, filled with false information)
Now we actually have to deal with such nonsense - the customer has to pay for it, of course, but I don't want to waste my time on stupid things like that.
I'm not saying people are deliberately flagging M365 Copilot marketing emails as spam, thus teaching M365 Defender to quarantine them. They would never do that to their helpful AI assistant...
Can AI transform QA?
In a new study, Thoughtworkers Yang Zhao, Vy Nguyen & Thuc Van Hoang explore how LLMs like GitHub Copilot & ChatGPT perform in generating test cases.
Results: 80% faster, 96% consistent — but human oversight is key: https://ter.li/aedaa7
Can somebody at #Microsoft please tell the #MicrosoftEdge team to please just stop. People just want to get work done and consume content. Nobody asked for this and nobody wants it. This #AI #CoPilot nonsense has got to stop...
Right... so I asked 'Support' about it (probably another LLM) and it says that the solution is... that it can't be disabled ?!?!
Am I becoming crazy? The Copilot toggle is OFF in this screenshot, right? If so, why is there still a Copilot icon on the top right? How do I get rid of it??
(this is in #Outlook for Win10)
Edit: the (temporary, because I already did it once a few days ago and Copilot is now back) solution is to follow the instructions for editing group policies here: https://pureinfotech.com/disable-windows-10-copilot/ (Method 2 for Win 10).
In ~1h, I'll be talking about my favorite topic: Microsoft licensing!
