Users: We are putting our PFP as clippy because it symbolises a time where software worked locally and just wanted to help without spying on you.
Microsoft: wow they love that lil clippy fella let’s make co pilot into a piss blob that floats around the screen spouting random facts its learnt from surveiling the users every move. It will be like their own personal FBI agent they will love it.
Bringing Clippy back as Copilot seems like the easiest, most obvious win Microsoft could get. I swear most of their customer facing decisions around stuff like this (and Xbox) are easy slam dunks that they fumble in the absolute dumbest fashion.
“The internet used to talk all the tike about how they love their personal fbi agents”
I’m still not sure if Microsoft just doesn’t get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants… but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I’m not sure Mico will age as gracefully as he did, though.
A drop of piss?
Yoooooo! That gif where it does a little twirl had me busting out laughing in the car😂😂😂
This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.
I know of Clippy, Cortana, Co-Pilot and Mico so 4 that I know of and all are very useless
And the search Dog and Wizard. I suppose those don’t count much, but they are worth remembering.
I found Cortana to be actually useful and way better than it’s contemporaries, so of course they killed it instantly 🤣
Co-Pilot and Mico are the same thing. Mico is just a little character that Copilot now has for voice.
Give us Clippy you cowards!!!
Basically that.
I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?
Capitalism is about ownership more than anything else. Capitalism states that the means of production is private property and to be used for the purpose of obtaining profit. As long as there is profit, supply and demand can go fuck itself along with the workers (those who produce). It really is a stupid system that can never be fully implemented (every economy is a mixed economy for a reason) since it naturally creates perverse incentive.
I’m convinced we are post capitalism now.
other capitalists
Capitalism is about juggling numbers, empty promises, exploitation, pump & dump and „HODL🚀🚀🚀“
I think everyone would be happy if it was Clippy haha
YEAH BRING CLIPPY BACK YOU EFFIN COWARDS
Bro, one more rebrand bro, then it’ll work bro. This time it’ll work bro
Oh man, they even have it wearing glasses and looking a lot like Microsoft Bob!
Why doesn’t anyone do history anymore? There really is so much to be learned.
A drop of cum
Ah but he’s a drop of day old cum, he’s had time to becum sentient.
gags in disgust
Life is a miracle
R34 artists will have some fun with this blob.
f mico
There are so many characters they can’t do, it’s like trying to choose a sports team mascot these days.
They still screwed it up.
Ah, now computers can be infected with fungi along with worms and viruses.
they really just called it michael
Michaelsoft Wimdose AyyAyeeee
How do we murder it quickly
Quick, draw r34 and shitty memes!
I’m doing my part!
This lil piss guy gave me an idea.
We’re gunna put AI and connectivity in Elf On A Shelf. The kids will be able to give their Christmas lists and confess their sins to the AI controlled Elf, which will have it’s own Amazon wishlist.
The Elf will weigh the sins of the child, and deeming them worthy, will automatically order the appropriate gifts off the list, which will be delivered via drone down the chimney Christmas Eve, once the Elf determines the child has gone to sleep.
I’d rather not
There is only room for one Micro in my heart and that is Micro Micrófono from 31 Minutos. Microsoft should be ashamed 😜 m.youtube.com/watch?v=dX9zd5pQJms
I don’t know how or why but I’ve had this guy in my Copilot app on my iPhone in Australia for probably 2 months already lol. No one else I’ve showed it to and asked if they have it did either, even people with the same phone.

This is Cortana all over again. And I don’t remember people using Cortana at all…
Antagnostic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Cortana was a squandered opportunity for sure.

Didn’t use cortana directly, but the “auto block out focus time” in my work diary was a freaking game changer and I am pissed they took it away.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same, but there is a similar tool under ‘viva insights’ in teams
architect@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
I disabled it.

While I didn’t use it regularly, I did use it here and there in both W10 and W10M. The jokes were pretty good too. But I’m an old-time halo player that is geeky as fuck so I’m laser-aligned with that demographic.

It’s not, it’s just a little character that shows for copilot voice.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It does voices too?
