So you subscribe to the Microsoft CoPilot 365 App or whatever it's called now.

I don't think it sounds crazy at all. To me this feels as made-up as many reddit stories are. Either by the so-called 'operator' of the bot, or by the author.

This is the problem with the LLM fallacy. You think it'll rapidly get smarter, but it just recreates things from all the terrible code it was fed. Code and how it is written also rapidly changes these days and LLMs have some trouble dr

> Is it maintainable? Well it's AI that's going to maintain it. That's what's currently not possible, it might work in a small webapp or similar. But in a large system, it absolutely falls apart when having to maintai

I also think this is why AI works okay-ish on tiny new greenfield webapps and absolutely doesn't on large legacy software. You can't accurately plan every little detail in an existing codebase, because you'll only find out ab

Your computer could also be used as part of a botnet or to commit crimes from. Not all malware/viruses are used to directly steal from the target.

For MS, it's currently eroding through every single one of their products. Azure, Office, Visual Studio, VS Code, Windows are all shipping faster than ever, but so much stuff is unfinished, buggy, incompatible to existing things, etc.

It can also backfire and sometimes give you absolute made-up nonsense. Or waste your whole day moving in a circle around a problem.

I think there are a few people out there with great ideas, that might benefit from having access to tools to make these real. I'm all for those and would love to see them. But i also think the majority of these cases will be bad ideas

The point is the following: If you want a chef to explain and show his recipe and then you find out he asked chat gpt or got it from a recipe website, would you still be interested in hearing about the 'journey' he took? If that c

This response makes it 100% clear to me that this is just a bot. The verbatim use of a completely random thing like 'custom math libraries for cross-CPU determinism', combined with the agreeable tone and em dash use are pretty muc

If it was for personal use, it wouldn't be on the internet and advertised on sites like this. So it is at least marketed for personal reasons. I don't know why, but it could be for ad revenue, resume filling, ego bolstering. This

Because it's better for marketing. Doesn't matter if it's true.

Search in general on all redesigned Apple apps is like solving a puzzle to figure out where it is. In some apps you have to be on a specific page and then scroll up to magically make it pop out. So intuitive...

I think this applies to almost all modern software. Apple Mail automatically adds calendar entries from attachments in my junk mail to my calendar. I get tons of spam/phishing mails with appointments attached that i now manually have t

This is exactly the problem. Companies currently are being sold that they can replace employees with little agents that cost $20 to $200 a month. But then they realize that the $200 last for about 3.5 hours on day 1 of the month and the res

I personally don't know a single person that would pay $80 for some LLM. Most people i know pay nothing, or got a 1 year sub of a phone purchase or similar. Also, everyone here conveniently always forgets the huge hardware and datacent

I think this time is the first time that it will actually hurt all the large corps investing gazillions of dollars into AI infra. Shipping some ads in windows? Doesn't really hurt you, it makes you extra money. Sure, some customers get

I think these kinds of problems were already solved using ML and to a pretty high accuracy. But now everyone is trying to make chatbots do that job and they are awful at it.

In my experience, most devs and companies don't consider the dependencies they load 'their' code. They only look at the code they write, not everything they deploy.

Making a bicycle with square wheels is not being ahead of it's time, though. Most of the time MS is actually delivering something successful is when they are very late or bought it and put their sticker on it.

Gaming is a massive loss leader, MS will never make back the money they invested to buy other publishers. The subscription model will fail aswell, prices will have to go up more, to try and actually make some profit.

Microsoft themselves have actually made it a technical one. By dropping support for perfectly fine computer without TPM/SecureBoot, they have made it an actual technical decision to install an alternative to their OS.

Actually in the latest MacOS release it constantly trains local models for all kinds of junk without asking you at all. I had to disable all that AI garbage in the settings after researching a bunch of local inference and training processes

I don't think that's the right direction to go in. Despite needing much knowledge of how a planes inner workings function, a pilot is still a pilot and not an aircraft engineer. Just because you know how human psychology works whe

I had the same problem. Installing vulkan libraries fixed that for me.

It's doable with commercial puzzle glue, but you have to apply from both sides to prevent warping.

I don't think anyone is questioning current or future capabilities. It's more of a question if it will ever actually be profitable or marketable without subsidizing most of the cost of running it. We're seeing the same with s
