    …and yet it’s still all over the place and not going away. I thought the “market” was supposed to decide whether these things stay around or die on the vine.

      Microsoft did the dodgy auto opt-in/up-lift on renewals for non corporate M365 subscriptions to add copilot unless you explicitly went into your account and chose to stay on the non copilot version of M365.

      There’s adoption, but not to the expected level. Basically, a lot of people use it at least sporadically, but few wants to pay. And meanwhile companies need to buy billions on data centers.

    But… they made it a button on the keyboard? Microsoft sucks. They literally made an advertisement on the keyboard and their product still can’t take off. Install Linux.

      That button isn’t for m365 copilot, but windows copilot which is an entirely different thing and yes that confusion hasn’t helped Microsoft here. Also see GitHub copilot.

        Good thing they are all first-party software so they all integrate nicely together. Get an email that M365 Copilot read and creates a task that GitHub Copilot can implement! Right?

          Mate, I’ve had outlook begging me to use copilot and the second I do it just tells me it can’t read my inbox or my calendar. What is even the fucking point.

        I have become convinced that Microsoft is a company with no actual direction going off of pure momentum from early wins. It’s actually crazy how bad this shit is.

    it’s worse than that, I am in the 1.8% against my will because my boss thinks Copilot is helpful and got us licenses against everyone’s objections

    Shocking.

    It’s almost like the utility of language learning models isn’t in being shoehorned into fuckjng everything.

    Go figure.

        It’s very capable. Of course you go and check them after the meeting but I find them much more comprehensive than general human notes

    Wow, that is abysmal.

    But Microsoft has staying power and deep pockets. This is only the beginning for them.

    I’m sure they made lots of money selling your personal information to the highest bidding data broker.

    Teams sucks but became successful commercially eventually. They won’t give up yet.
