  Copilot is Microsoft’s name for their AI service, like Google’s Gemini or Chat GPT. Recall is their service that will screenshot everything you do for training improving the results.

    I think you have to have copilot installed to have the recall spyware though.

  Literally final straw that made me jump exclusively to a linux distro.

  GEE WHIZ WHO WOULDN’T WANT THAT

  The promise of Copilot is this fanciful idea of automating every job that involves as computer.

  So employers love this, because it is supposed to usher in a drastically smaller office fully of middle management prompt engineers who can simulate a new worker with a few button clicks.

  That’s the dream. That’s who it is for in theory. In practice, the technology doesn’t work.

    In theory there is little difference between practice and theory. In practice there is.

    In my industry it’s an incremental improvement.

    Potentially the current tech could make firms 10% more productive if fully realised. That’s my estimate anyway.

    It’s not a game changer.

  You’re thinking of Recall

  That’s recall, copilot is clippy on steroids.

  I kind of want to see the chat boards where people who think this is a good idea hang out and justify it…

  With sort of the same way you stare at a train wreck, morbid curiosity.

    Bet it’d be nauseating as watching /r/conservative

    Just a massive circle jerk with continuous copium-huffing

    Just thinking of this reminds me of a conversation i had with a c-suite gronk back in the day.

    “What about the cloud? Should we just get rid of our citrix and use that??”

    The suit tiers are full of idiots who used chatgpt once for an incredibly simplistic task and are now obsessed with jamming it up everyone’s arse

      Cloud, blockchain, now AI… They’re all good for some things but I swear the execs making decisions subscribe to my Aunt Fran’s philosophy with cheese: if a little is good, way too much must be even better!
