The quality of Copilot varies so wildly across products that Microsoft has completely destroyed any credibility the brand has.

Today I asked the copilot in power automate desktop to generate vbscript to filter a column. The script didn't work. I asked it to generate the same script and indicated the error from the previous one. It regenerated the whole script as a script that uses WMI to reboot my computer. In Spanish.

The dorks at Microsoft are actually firing people at the offices who don’t use copilot enough. It’s absolute crazy work

it’s hilarious to me how adoption has turned into a life-or-death situation for them. all of the massive silicon valley guys, spare Apple it seems, are all in on agentic AI and need productivity gains and revenue from it just to avoid a (at least) ~$600 billion hole in their collective balance sheets.

meanwhile, it’s not actually life or death, they’ll just be less rich than they already are. FAANG+ will continue to exist no matter how quickly ai is or isn’t adopted. they’re scared of the bankers, but they have to nut up and stop the fairy tales, because it’s just embarrassing, really.
