They went AI too hard too soon. It only truly started being usable for dev this year.

Micro$oft should stick to worrying about Windoze

Ah, I see you’re a person of culture as well.

Not really relevant though. They sure should be serious about GitHub, npm, and plenty of other things they run, too.

Maybe having 81 different things called Copilot does not help if you want to get taken seriously

Funny thing is that this is coming from human slop.

Can't speak to that one, but Studio Copilot.net Ultimate Home Professional Visual Edition 365# Server 95 was one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.

Like most things Microsoft, "gave up after six months" is accurate.

Microsoft should now release a brand new UI framework, this time designed and implemented end-to-end by AI:

Microsoft Visualization Copilot

If there's anyone from Microsoft here, let your bosses know I'll accept a Chief Prompting Officer role to help get it (and much more) out of the door.

Maybe if they didn't have a toddler CEO that's completely asleep at the wheel they would have prevented losing in the court of public opinion.

They're being surprisingly intentional about trashing consumer trust. They recently patented a method to inject ads during downtime in video games[1]. Plus they changed Xbox GamePass so you can only play 5-15 hours a month on it, depending on your plan.

Why is installing Linux suddenly becoming mainstream? I don't think any of the managers at Microslop know.
