"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Teams is such a stupid piece of software. At first I was like "well this will make organising things really easy!" but I quickly learned that everyone has their own ideas about organisation and the moment a new person pops in there's a new way of doing it. The end result is a chat application with a fuckton of random files flying around, various applications just smashed into it, and it tries to do so many things that it barely works for the core features it should be used for.
Turns out, the best way to organise files was to have a common system and just use the regular FS all along. Who would've thought it?
You left out the fun part where Teams itself gets an update that moves or deprecrates a feature you are accustomed to.
It is so cumbersome to use. Which chat did I see that vital piece of information in? Why does a feature that used to open in Teams itself now open a browser window to display it?
Mine has a permanent warning triangle telling me something is wrong with one of my accounts but it doesn't tell me what or how to fix it. Neither account seems to be problematic either.
It also spontaneously updates and withholds notifications from me. I don't really sit with my nose in Teams all the time, so every so often I'll remember to check it and notice a colleague has sent me a question or something 4 hours ago. 💀
Honestly just give me an IRC or something instead.
