Fuck AI

Even Windows 11 looks better than this shit.

Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant the company has been aggressively injecting across the ecosystem, will now be a core part of the next Windows iteration rather than a supplementary feature.

Clippy 2's team HAS to have some serious Epstein level dirt on Satya Nadella, it makes no sense to see how reviled this shit was in 11 and double down on it.

Yeah no.

Thanks ms for making my future easy, see you never

“Surely they can’t be THAT stupid and double down on this disaster?”

And then I read this 🤣

Lol so force gamers and home users off the OS and go full b2b is the play? I mean we all saw it coming but that does not bode well for us serfs.

Fascinating case study on how a company grows to a certain level and then rots from the inside.

I'm sure there are genius level marketing and finance dudes at Microsoft who can show how these changes look great on a spreadsheet. And I'm sure it works out for the next quarter or two or ten.

Who knows though, maybe the consumer PC os selling businesses is dead. And selling consumer software licenses is dead. And the only way to get any revenue out of consumers these days is to sell their eyeballs to advertisers.

Microsoft forgetting why we use Windows is hilarious. I might just go back to 10.

Did they accidentally post this a month early for April fools? Cuz… holy hell what a choice.

If anyone is wondering, it’s literally easier to install and use Linux than windows 11 already. I can’t imagine how much worse this will make it.

Had a presentation to make yesterday so figured fuck it, maybe the copilot integrated into power point can make this task I don't want to do easier.

So I made a title slide and explained what was going on, then tried to get it able to edit the current file. Wasn't able to but it was able to create a new file.

Took one look at the result and decided fuck it, I'll just do it myself. How much it tried to play up everything without really saying anything was almost nauseating.

So I guess thanks copilot for sucking so much it inspired me to just spit out a better presentation. At least better to my standards; I bet an MBA would have preferred the other one that acted like the whole category the task was in was my own work and needed to be explained to the rest of the team that has been doing related tasks longer than I have.

Better build the whole OS around this tech which basically just exploits how easily we're fooled by confident words.

I had not really considered going full-time Linux until now. If they attempt to force that unto me, it will be the end of Microsoft for my household. I've successfully been AT&T free for almost 2 decades. There are a few other companies like that which will never earn another direct dollar from me. Microslop may be next.

Well I'll not buy buy it.

Then again I've never directly bought a microslop product in all my decades of using windows.
I bought one pre-built pc in about 1995 that had it on, so I indirectly paid for that.

Still not upgrading to it anytime soon...

I have a feeling, that they'll try to pull a "Windows 95 uses Internet Explorer as a core component" with AI, making it impossible to disable.

Anyways, I might move to Manjaro on my desktop too.

All this sounds terrible. I don't even want to upgrade to Windows 11 for work on my other drive.

Looks like 2027 is shaping up to be the year of Linux on the desktop.

I haven't finished upgrading half my computers at work to 11...
