@microsoft.com It wasn't the answer was looking for, but I guess it answers the question of whether CoPilot is worth money? ✨

@microsoft.com I wonder if it's because nobody adopted them, anticipating they wouldn't last long?

I'm typing "notepad", but it's opening WordPad 2014-Clippypilot.

Oh wait, you screwed up notepad. Nvm. My bad.

that this was a key user function of the operating system being diverted. This was developed thru a typical AI-reasoning chain of: What are some common things we can monetize? Maybe it was humans. *shrug* Possibly indistinguishable at MS now because of the degree of AI presence teaching the staff to

searching "od", "ody", "odys", etc.

But once I hit an exact match, there is suddenly an order of magnitude greater value to Microsoft in sending *that* packet to Azure. Now I'm searching for something they can match ads against; a tag they can add to my metadata.

And nobody stood in *defended*

The sinister here is simple: The exact match should tell us it's found what >I< am looking for, but that was *not* a priority factor in the decision making.

Rather: someone realized that the benefit to Microsoft of making azure query each of my early steps was low compared to the compute cost of

which smell heavily AIfluenced and the tendency of everything Microsoft does online to be terribly slow if you're not on their corporate network (5x9s probability there is 0 dogfooding) .. Mean that it's *hard* to do a *local* exact match.

or bigger picture.

The simplest example is Windows 11 "Search". The market share w11 was largely seeded by this one improvement; c.f type "taxes" into Start to find your tax folder and *not* have a browser open on a bing search...

Not only has W11 subsequently undone all that, recent changes

For a while in the last decade, @microsoft.com was manifesting a product-quality perspective to delivering long-term shareholder value.

But sadly they've internally re-realized the worst version of itself, that analyzes things individually based on their direct profit potential and ignores any kind

step 1: complain about go lang's
if ..., err := method(); err != nil {
return ..., err

step 2: try to come up with something nice to say about C++'s std::expected's
if (auto result = method(); result.has_value()) {
return result.error();
}

A significant portion of what made Python so popular was its stability. For a decade, for most people, Python 2.7 was Python.

Python 3 is imbued with a level of "live at head" zeitgeist that is neither of complete nor limited-but-manageable.

Puppy-killer says alligator alcatraz could set a standard for future detention facilities.

The bible kinda agrees, Jesus saying worldly powers - such as the state - have worldly power to do what they want, but expects his followers to exercise forgiveness in alignment with his example.

So it very

with the current president, he fully endorses tariffs and will personally be voting for Trump in 2026.

Biden could come out and say he was so convinced by Trump's claims of 2020 being stolen that he intentionally sabotaged the liberal vote to ensure Trump won in 2024...

Make Maga Nuts Again.

demand that the DOJ permanently and irreversibly destroy the Epstein files, his tax returns, all the investigations into Jan 6 people that could potentially expose the degree of involvement of the FBI in the events at the capitol, etc...

Obama should make a statement that following a great call

those files can possibly hurt his base, they already expect him to be on every page of the list.

The ONLY thing that can hurt Trump at the moment w/r/t his base would be the liberals siding with him or standing to gain anything from their supporting him.

Hillary needs to step forward and solemenly

Be realistic about this. Trump was a known quantity since the 70s. MAGA's outrage isn't what Trump might have done or even did, or that he is breaking a self-prioritized promise. That's just him.

MAGA's anger is his failure to cover it up so they can bask in stories of liberal tears.

Nothing about

My only question is: did we Pearl Harbor another country or are we at war with them?

It's designed to simulate low-level aspects of how human brains work.

You might find tensors firing in a similar way to neurons in the brain, but all you're proving is some of the data is organized in a similar fashion. Even at an order of magnitude larger scale, it's still how, not what.

The "evidence" that LLMs can think is that we can see patterns in how they behave that are analogous to how brains work, esp human brains.

This fundamentally lacks substance, context, or scale, or understanding.

This is not inherently unique to LLMs, it's an aspect of the software they use.

pivot from the revolutionary war to today with every inflection point involving violence. The Montgommery Bus Boycott, the March for Jobs and Freedom, Silent Sentinels -- all relegated to "well, sure, but".

And all it needs is for people to spout what their enemy engineers to mindlessly spout.

and using exactly the kinds of social manipulation that were used by the extreme right to agitate Jan 6thers into violence such as "they didn't call them the stonewall peaceful protests; stonewall *riots*" and ensuring a count of 3 examples, so that for most people suddenly American history seems to

How about this then:

One of the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei's most significant propaganda tools was careful manipulation of the counter-narrative by shaping the arguments their opposition most fiercely raised or defended.

E.g there are loud voices on the left saying peaceful isn't working,

ICE officer violating 18 U.S.C. § 700? Tell the protesters to make HIM take the naturalization test.

There was nothing pathetic about it unless you were not paying attention. Down to Fox adding a clap track when Turdnip gave his feeble.
