I wonder how this will play out. Yes, it’s pretty awesome and yes, helpful. But if we extend the timeline, doesn’t this likely lead to AI-generated responses talking to AI-generated questions about AI-generated presentations?
I think mainly it leads to extremely high unemployment, but I geuss we'll see.
Really. I used chatGPT quite a few times to summarize corporate spam emails to me. So this now makes things deliciously ironic: 1. BS Manager jolts down a few lines then AI outputs pompous bullshit from the raw bullshit she wrote. 2. I get the bullshit email and then use AI to distill the bullshit down to the essential bullshit
I am a DevRel so I work on the business side of the company but my intended readers are developers. Even though I was a skeptic at first, now I am a believer in practical usage of AI. I really struggle with writing CTAs or conclusive remarks. My writing style is dry and I write technical articles in a step by step manner assuming the reader has no to little understanding of the subject matter. I feel like developer d…
Shipping at big companies can often be surprisingly hard so it's impressive to see how fast Microsoft is moving with AI integration into all their products.
As someone who had Teams imposed on them at the beginnings of the pandemic, I'd say: it is easy to ship anything fast when your users have no say on whether they want to use your product at all, no one cares that your laptop grinds to a halt when using it, and when no one will hold you responsible for delivering broken code.
Will MS Copilot work? Maybe, maybe not. But as far as Microsoft is concerned it doesn't have to be good - it just has to exist so they can justify charging their corporate users a little bit more.
Amazing! I keep banging on about how Microsoft is building the business lock-in of the next decade, and this is a sign of it. Put down your snubs about Clippy and frothing about "EEE" and look at that announcement: > " Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data — your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before. You can gi…
I dont remember a single time when people supposedly said that EEE wasn't still being done. There are just countless examples of people misattributing everything to be EEE. Vscode is another recent example of Microsoft still doing EEE by first creating the editor, destroying a lot of the IDE/editor ecosystem, just to eventually remove the important bits into non-free plugins, making the free version of codium basical…
Is this a bug, or do I need to be paying for a higher tier? Slack search was generally pretty good.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Given how bad the Bing integration has gone, perhaps we should wait and see what the actual results are before we get too impressed.
How has the Bing integration been deficient?
But it’s also sometimes better at things the normal GPT doesn’t know about. I think it’s going to be the best search engine once they improve the speed.

How is Microsoft releasing VS Code "destroying the editor ecosystem" but releasing Vim for free isn't and JetBrains charging for their IDEs isn't? This isn't "EEE" this is whining that Microsoft is competing by making software people want and that's unfair, apparently.
> "just to eventually remove the important bits into non-free plugins, making the free version of codium basically pointless."
Look at what isn't open source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Differences-between...
Microsoft logos and trademarks, integration with a marketplace which Microsoft run, a list of extensions Microsoft have reviewed and recommend (not the extensions, just the list), just enough of the Remote Development feature to handle connecting to Microsoft's backend for it, Telemetry, and autoupdate from Microsoft servers. Arguing those are "the important bits" is a stretch.
The C#/.NET debugger maybe, but you say that was "eventually removed into non-free plugin" - was it ever free? It doesn't sound like it. Also VS Code was popularised by JavaScript and TypeScript not C#, that's always been the province of Visual Studio full edition.
