>The irony of this, is that Microsoft was trying to push CoPilot everywhere, however eventually Apple, Google and JetBrains have their own AI integrations, taking CoPilot out of the loop.
What is the irony? Microsoft integrated copilot in Vscode, bing, etc. Apple is integrating claude in Xcode, Jetbrains has their own AI.
Microsoft moved first with putting AI into their products then other companies put other AI into their products. Nothing about this seems ironic or in any way surprising.
- __alexs 1y agoThe irony is that most people don't know how to use the word ironic. Personally I blame Alanis Morissette.
- arcticbull 1y agoThe irony is biting.
- SAI_Peregrinus 1y agoIt's ironic that a song about irony contains no actual examples of irony. But since that's ironic, is it actually an appropriately named song?
- yunwal 1y agoThe song contains many instances of cosmic irony[0], as well as a few instances of other types of irony (e.g. "Well isn't this nice?"). [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony#Types_of_irony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony#Types_of_irony
- dreamcompiler 1y agoRain on your wedding day is not cosmic irony or any other kind. It's simply misfortune.
- yunwal 1y ago> presents agents as always ultimately thwarted by forces beyond human control The implication of "rain on your wedding day" is that your wedding day is something you plan out extensively, trying to create some perfect event. And yet it can still be thwarted by weather. Obviously it takes some interpretation since it's a situation compressed into a 1-line song lyric but yes it can (and should, given that the song is called "ironic") be read as an example of cosmic irony.
- __alexs 1y agoWhat's more ironic, a wedding on a rainy day, or rain on a wedding day?
- ergocoder 1y agoYeah, there's no irony. Apple and Google will never choose to integrate Microsoft's services or products willingly. It would have been more surprising if they decided to depend on Microsoft.
- pjmlp 1y agoThe irony is that Microsoft has several cases where it gets there first, only to be left behind when competition catches up. Bing is irrelevant, VSCode might top in some places, but it is cursor and Claude that people are reaching for, VS is really only used by people like myself that still care about Windows development or console SDKs, otherwise even for .NET people are switching to Rider.
