5 years ago it was blockchain & NFT’s. Same hypers just moved to different technology.
Yep, 25 years ago it was the web. And remember the great electricity grift 100 years ago. And horseless carriage grifters like Ford!
Claude code and codex do this all the time too. Fucking annoying.
It's you're using AI tool to code, obviously the tool should be given due credits on the commits, for ethics.
but in this case Microslop is branding any commits as "co-authored by Copilot", even if the user never used any AI tool.
This is blatant attempt violation of commits authorship ethics and user rights.
To everyone who bought the "developer-friendly" Microsoft of VSCode fame from a few years ago: this is what they forever did, and forever will do. This company has been pulling these tricks since the early 90s. If you fell for this once again, there's nobody else to blame but yourself.
You may be surprised to learn some of the employed adults on this site were born after the 90’s.
FYI, they changed the default of 'git.addAICoAuthor' to 'chatAndAgent' afterwards: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/312880 So it was 'off' -> 'on' -> 'chatAndAgent'
One fascinating thing about the whole AI phenomenon is how incredibly hostile it is to _standards_. Whether something works properly, or is ethical, or is true, no longer matters at all; all that matters is "pls use our AI". Microsoft spent literal decades rehabilitating their reputation. And then set fire to the whole thing in an offering to their robot gods. And it's not just them. There was a time that Google care…
> Microsoft spent literal decades rehabilitating their reputation. Mmm... I think I missed that part.

Google will definitely lose. Llms supplants search. But not the old document search which they stopped doing long ago. Add in the fact that open weight models are 6-12 months behind frontier models means AI companies aren’t building a moat, they’re on a treadmill. And treadmills don’t justify the valuations OR the hype. AI companies are in trouble.
Not all AI companies are the same. Some are piling on masses of debt to built capacity (eg. Oracle). Others are just reinvesting the profits from the rest of their company (eg. Google, Meta). Anthropic’s moat is their best tool, Claude Code. OpenAI’s moat is the brand of ChatGPT, once the fastest growing app in the history of the world. It’s possible that open weight models keep pace, but it’s also possible that the…

Turn it off and rage on social media. If it gets bad enough, look into Zed. Their tagline is literally "your last next editor".
Unfortunately, Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish, Microsoft supported LSPs just work better in VSCode, they are better integrated, and Zed can't do anything about LSPs memory or peformance.
If you're angry about this then what are you going to do about it?
