Bye, Copilot: Microsoft is making Copilot a hands-free experience on Windows
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away.
Microsoft is working on a de-activation phrase for Microsoft 365 Copilot, making the UX a hands-free experience.
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away!
It’s like the author doesn’t understand the implications.
- Comment on One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds 1 day ago:
The Guardian: We interviewed a police officer, from an organization most of the public doesn’t trust, and he spouted off his opinion. Since he said the magic word “AI”, we jumped all over it.
I’d like to know how this is actually “accelerating violence against women and girls”. This is on the level of “video games promotes violence and creates serial killers” panic statements of the 80s and 90s.

“Exciton dynamics”?! WTF am I reading?
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO explains exactly what caused global outage 6 days ago:
Cloudflare is way way more transparent than most companies. Any other company, and you wouldn’t get a post-mortem blog article going into technical details of what went wrong.
In fact, this shitty Mashable “article” does a disservice to the more-detailed post.
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 6 days ago:
Doesn’t matter. If they haven’t convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven’t solved the problem of transforming the medium.
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 6 days ago:
I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Mastodon handle.
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 1 week ago:
leads it into being something truly unique and wonderful that directly challenges some of the most evil and wealthy people on the planet,
Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.
BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines upheaval: Developer and publisher announce “mutual” breakup 1 week ago:
The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.
Neither sides of that look good.
- Comment on The Genetic Powers of These Tiny Creatures Could Make Us Superhuman 2 weeks ago:
Why is the implication here that scientists are going to somehow genetically-engineer more resilient humans?
Let’s wait for us to get past the dystopian Gattaca era before we make outlandish claims like that.

democratic centralist government run by the communist party
Sounds like a dictatorship ran by one party.
- Comment on The age verification effect: adult site traffic plummets, VPN use soars 3 weeks ago:
It’s international. It doesn’t need to be based in England.

Lenin wanted to create socialism from the top down, establishing a dictatorship
When somebody casually says the word “dictatorship” as a serious solution to a problem, they have already failed.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says tech giants can't profit from their astronomical investments unless human labor is replaced 3 weeks ago:
The Soviets tried socialism as a ladder to communism, were about instantly corrupted.
No, they tried communism as a ladder to socialism, entered the dictatorship of the proletariat phase, and were instantly corrupted. Because, you know… dictatorship.
Lenin’s idea of socialism will never work, because it is far too optimistic, and does not factor the corruptibility of humans.

Capitalism ain’t the problem. Capitalism for the economy and democracy for the government is the best we humans have figured out. Problem being, money, as in any system, has been funneled to the top. The top took our vote via lack of education and media control, and their power has been snowballing for the last 20-30 years. Now we’re too ignorant and misled to vote in our own best interests. We’re seeing the end game, the end game of any unregulated system.
Capitalism was the system the rich wanted to ensure they still had a foothold. In the past, it was fiefdoms and land ownership. Then a bunch of rich Americans got together (the founding fathers) and democracy wasn’t going see the light of day unless there was some level of compromise, and they got to keep their power in some way. Democracy was supposed to be a counterbalance, yes, but capitalism isn’t actually necessary for a functional society.
Ever since humanity evolved into a barter system, the enemy has always been the rich and powerful (who also happen to be rich), and the tools they use to keep themselves in power. Never ever forget that.

The internet was a bubble. That doesn’t mean it’s not useful. It just means that companies are overselling its value. There are too many companies jumping on the bandwagon, and not all of them with survive when the bubble pops.
It’s still bad and destructive, but I think far too many people are interpreting this bubble as “if I wait a few more years, this technology will disappear and I won’t have to worry about it any more”. No, it’s more like the internet where if people wait a few more years and don’t use it, they will lag behind and be replaced by people who understand the tech. Companies that don’t use it will die out.
I like Hank Green’s recent takes on AI.
- Comment on We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one 3 weeks ago:
I feel like this would be as batshit crazy as handing the beloved Dune series to a madman like Alejandro Jodorowsky.
- Comment on We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one 3 weeks ago:
Enter The Matrix was one of the rare exceptions. That game genuinely slapped.
The game was glued together with duct tape. And not the good kind.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing around with bazzite a bit, and for sure, i can run a lot of games on it, but you often end up googling which launcher to use, which settings to use, … And then even if you find something, it doesn’t always work.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Launch Steam.
- Install game.
- Hit Play.
Zero issues.
- Comment on Mexican Government To Tax Violent Video Games It Says Make Kids Violent 3 weeks ago:
So, ban itself? You can’t hire corruption to clean out corruption.
- Comment on 'Points, clicks, and misery' - Civvie11 plays I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream 4 weeks ago:
PushingUpRoses and Grimbeard both did good reviews on this game. Glad to see a boomer shooter tuber like Civvie 11 trying it out.
- Comment on "You exist to make money for us" 4 weeks ago:
Now they probably think modern security and propaganda will prevent all that, or they’re just ignorant, shortsighted, and greedy, and they haven’t really considered the consequences.
It’s both, and they aren’t wrong.
- Comment on Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice 5 weeks ago:
I don’t want to use LLMs. I feel the majority of use cases for LLMs are inauthentic, lazy, unhelpful, and uncreative.
Well, that’s just your opinion. Don’t accuse everybody else who are using it as evil psychopaths, under some “LLM psychosis”.
- Comment on Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice 5 weeks ago:
It’s foolish to think this will just blow over, and the tech will magically disappear, no matter how you think about its ethics.
It’s better to take control of the technology directly, promote open-source models, push local usage, use it as a tool for the people, not as a tool for corporations. If you don’t take control of the situation, the world will take control of it for you.
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 5 weeks ago:
So, not heroin?
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 5 weeks ago:
That only helps some, but not enough. I would bitch and report this article to the moderators, but the moderator is the one who posted the goddamn article!
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 5 weeks ago:
It wasn’t. It was on a “Family Medicine” subreddit, which the name alone gives off red flags.
Don’t get medical advice from Reddit. Don’t even have “medical advice” subreddits. The bot was probably doing the best it could with the information available. But, of course, I can’t get the full context, because OP linked to a paid article.
- Comment on Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice 5 weeks ago:
Ahhh, yes, the “stick your head in the sand until it blows over” strategy. Because that’s always worked, right?
- Comment on Windows 7 marketshare jumps to nearly 10% as Windows 10 enters final weeks of support 1 month ago:
This is a falsehood, because they are relying on an unreliable source: Statcounter.

What the hell is this website? Why isn’t this a news link?
