Is it a "you're holding it wrong" moment? Or a "no, it's the consumers who are wrong" moment?

I for one look forward to buying a dirt cheap GPU in about 2 years.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Cry more. Half the problem is Copilot is anecdotally worse than just running a model locally myself. It easily ranks at or near the bottom for everything IME.

The other half is Microsoft shoving it everywhere including fucking Notepad.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Don't get too excited folks, Nadella's never been right about anything before...

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

Bend backwards and ponder your shiny orb of a head, Nadella. That's the whole point.

I can only hope that THIS time, with the sheer amount of information available, that future historians will convince society that it's better to run society based on evidence and progress and humanity.

We have the old boys club running our companies, grifting and building a giant economic bubble to make a quick buck they have no use for, and casually destroying some of the most valuable brands out there.

They are running many of our governments too, and that's not working great.

If people don't keeping buying our fake perpetual motion machine we aren't going to make back the money we invested in building it!

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Nobody wants your shitty, unethical and environmentally disastrous product. Go back to the design room and make good things people want and stop trying to force AI down our throats.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Nadella, stop trying to make 'AI' happen, it's NOT going to happen!

"We're not seeing the numbers we want, so we're putting copilot in everything to expand our active user base. Hell, rename everything copilot!"

Take all those billions and go unfuck Teams. Thank you.

How would this be bad for me?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.

Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I'm certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

the horror! why dont the people think of the shareholder dividends! The rich people yacht money!

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Oooh so he does know what's going on. You know what you call a boom without adoption? A bubble!

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

We could just stop all the investments in it

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lmfao Nadella why are you tempting us with a good time

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago
[–] deleted@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Too late. I ditched Mircoslop for good.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Maybe try innovating to survive.

Better yet, ask your precious copilot for some innovative solutions lol.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, because Microsoft's revenue growth is in fact the most important thing the folks at Davos had to think about...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Good, best time to curb its use.
