Nothing unexpected. Microsoft has a remarkable talent for turning good products into useless ones. Skype is another good showcase of such talent.

Windows (including Notepad and Explorer), too. I think ~Office~ ~Office 365~ ~Microsoft 365~ Copilot 365 is still technically useful despite the insane branding and licensing and AI slop features, but I doubt it'll last much longer.

When will they introduce GitHub for Business?

That has existed for a long time and predates the MS acquisition. It's called Github Enterprise.

My company is on GitHub Enterprise.

> The AI rip-off was not just ugly. It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. Microsoft unworthy.

I'd argue that this statement is perfectly true when the word "unworthy" is removed.


I mean... why not? :)


This is a sales pitch. No useful info there.


I appreciate the heads up. I'm getting tired of all the magazine, tabloid, and sales pitches getting to the front page here.


What are some specific examples of these posts that you're getting tired of? Links would be helpful.


Here's two I can remember off the top of my head.

This one is just a magazine profile story with a musician. It was titled "First recording of tinnitus raises new questions", which instead of sharing the recording, was an interview with a musician and shared her album pieces. I see that it was recently renamed to " An Interview with Lola De La Mata about tinnitus", which is more accurate because I would not have opened it. https://qht.co/item?id=40600748

Here's another one titled "Pleasure or Pain? He Maps the Neural Circuits That Decide." It's also a profile piece, and half the article is full page pictures of the scientist and his life story. It's just a magazine article on the man, and not really going into his work. It actually has "magazine" in the name so I should have expected that. https://qht.co/item?id=40238788

And then of course there's the current article which is is a misleading headline that's actually an ad for their services. Hey, pretty cheap, but not what I'm looking for here.


This one has been around for ages, and it does work on mobile too.

The problem with that is that the entity supposed to "bomb it to rubble" and the entity pushing for AI development happens to be the same entity.

Maybe the confusion why people can't see this clearly stems from the fact that tech development in the US has mostly been done under the umbrella of a private enterprise.

But if one has a look at companies like Palantir, it's going to become quite obvious what is the main driver behind AI development.


If that patent becomes a reality, I'll make sure to create a website to track which products do this, so we can all avoid buying them.


So you won't buy new devices once this becomes standard in all devices in 20 years?


The point of the website would be to avoid the future where this is standard.

It won't be able to get standard if nobody buys the products that has it.


Loving this.


Not a biggy. Let's have them implant backdoors everywhere, and then use it to acquire and publish all their data and their conversations.

I'm sure that besides loosing their power quickly, they also going to face prison time for abusing it.

It would be such a wonderfully poetical end of them!

Woohoo! A pre-production alpha car has issues. What a breaking news story!
