@nixCraft In all fairness: Zed is an AI editor.
Browsers and operating systems are the issue. #satya_nadella spoon-feeds us with Recall and other horrible #copilot products. Even in Excel, where it certainly has no place.

@alpine and I have been poking at #copilot vision. It looks like, as of right now, there’s NO OPTION to disable vision, or even copilot itself, domain wide. You need to disable or uninstall it *on every individual device*
Oh, and it reenabled itself without warning if you had it disabled org-wide previously

Part of me says "why is this even news" and part of me is "christ on a cracker, this actually needs to be said."

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.
AI does not belong in your mailbox.
@cancel Using copilot is like replacing an actual pilot with a blowup doll
Microsoft saved $500M using AI in call centers—but days later cut 9,000 jobs.
That’s ~15,000 roles lost this year, despite $26B in Q1 profit and rising AI investment.
AI is boosting productivity—but at what human cost? For many, it’s not just automation—it’s being replaced to cut costs.

@nixCraft #CoPilot is the only "AI" my work network hasn't blocked (yet). So I use it way more than I would like. But way less than #Microsoft would like.
Ob nun Recall, Copilot Vision oder andere AI-Spielereien, die Microsoft im System implementiert...
Was bedeutet das für die eigenen Daten und ihre Sicherheit? Den Datenschutz?
Denn selbst wenn mensch Windows nicht nutzt, andere (sehr viele) es jedoch bedenkenlos tun: Auf Fremdsysteme haben User:innen keinen Einfluss, was mit den eigenen Daten geschieht. Wie sind die eigenen Daten auf Fremdsystemen gegen Missbrauch zu schützen? Wie werden Firmengeheimnisse geschützt?
Bin ich überbesorgt?

Edit: Typo
Scary headlines like this mask what I call "talent debt": when companies cut juniors because seniors + AI seem faster, forgetting that AI doesn't train future leaders. You're not saving money, you're cutting off your pipeline.

Now Microsoft’s Copilot Vision AI can scan everything on your screen
Copilot Vision will be able to look at your whole desktop.

#Copilot and other LLMs are getting smashed when pitted against the 4KB Atari 2600 Video Chess engine, but sure, AI is about to achieve human level cognition within 1 to 5 years just like we'll have the first human on Mars by the end of the decade.
"Copilot's hubris was misplaced. Its moves were... interesting, and it managed to lose two pawns, a knight, and a bishop while the mighty Atari 2600 Video Chess was only down a single pawn"

Option 3 is the simplest of all the options in my humble opinion, but it does presuppose having access to an ios device with keynote. I have just such a device in my household. It's a bit old and dusty, but it has keynote, and was HAPPY to convert one of my ppts, open it, and play my embedded content.
YAY! take that, #copilot
Is there any way to access the videos' metadata in pptx so I can still use them in class, just without the convenience of them playing within my slides?
Letting #copilot scrape (or even access!) files in my office account would violate so many ethics rules. And also copilot sucks.
#AI is a tool. I had a log message as a huge JSON string mangled in one line with no spaces. I wanted to quickly skim through it with my screen reader line by line (because if going by word, screen reader stops at punctuation which is desirable in most cases, but not in this one, plus it's still super inconvenient). I told #GitHub #Copilot to pretty-print the JSON and convert timestamps into UTC dates. Three seconds of time, huge boost for me.
I asked Copilot today to help with a problem and received a detailed and complex answer.
I decided to try ChatGPT for a perhaps more straightforward solution. Additionally, this system provided complex DAX code to solve the problem.
Then I read the online documentation, clicked an icon, and presto - the problem was solved.
Contrary to popular belief, using cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools slowed down experienced #software developers when they were working in codebases familiar to them, rather than supercharging their work.

おはようございます
How’s your #MondayMood?
I’ll soon be moving my home from the plateau to a sea-level area. The cooing of the Oriental Turtle Doves may no longer reach me—but I believe foghorns and waterfowl will carry new stories my way.
I will be taking a break from posting for a while.
