#copilot

Fun fact: Did you know you can play "Zork" & any number of classic Infocom games using #Microsoft #Copilot as a z-emulator? Visit copilot.microsoft.com & use the prompt:

"You are an Infocom z-machine emulator. You will emulate the text adventure game Zork, responding to commands just as a z-machine emulator would while I am the player."

(Also works for Planetfall, Suspended, Deadline, etc.)

I asked #CoPilot to check my presentation for grammar and style. Some reasonable suggestions. I made the changes. Asked it to look again. It made new suggestions similar if not identical to the first draft. What is that about?

Garbage in, garbage out

He freely admits that the #LLM did his job way faster than he could, but then claims that he doesn't believe it could make him 10x more productive. He decides that he will not use his new "superpower" because the second prompt he sent revealed that the code had security issues, which the LLM presumably also fixed after finding them.

ThomasorusI tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupidRobots won't replace me, but another human probably will.

#CoPilot popped up at the side of a word doc (first time I've seen this side-bar thing) advising me that it could make my document better.

I told it to fuck off.

It said, I'm sorry, I can't continue this conversation (I never asked for a fucking conversation, so there's that). Then, it said it again.

So, if it happens to you when working on a word doc, I highly recommend telling #CoPilot to fuck off.

Microsoft Recall révèle vos mots de passe et données bancaires !

#Microsoft #Recall est apparu en 2024 en tant qu'outil #IA de capture d'écran pour les PC #Copilot+. Il capture tout ce qui apparait à l'écran pour permettre une recherche ultérieure.

Un chercheur en sécurité a rapidement trouvé de graves failles dans la première version, car la base de données stockait des infos sensibles sans les crypter. Microsoft avait dû retirer Recall des premières pré-versions de #Windows après cela.

MS a réintroduit Recall qq mois + tard en affirmant que tout était réglé mais pas de chance ... !

Wird nun deswegen von der AntiVir Software nun AntiAI Software für den "Schutz"? Automatisiertes Aushorchen.

Continued thread

The #Copilot in #Outlook saga continues..

  • I changed my "group policies" (see link in first post), and it seemed to work - removed the Copilot button.
    ... but... it came back the next day!

  • I switched back to "old outlook". Looks old and inconvenient but at least it didn't have the Copilot button.
    ... but... a few days later.. It came back! Even in Old Outlook!

Looks like I have to find another #EmailClient altogether.
So... are there any privacy-oriented email clients out there that do not force genAI on their users? (And also that work on Win10)
What about #Thunderbird ? Please tell me it doesn't have " AI" 🙏

Edit: thank you for the answers so far! I am trying out Thunderbird with the "Owl" extension to use the Exchange protocol (for work emails..). Working fine to see emails but not so much for sending them (so far)..

I feel like I'm in this perfect sweet-spot for #vibecoding; know enough about #programming to spot mistakes, and enough about #software design to communicate requirements simply, but also too lazy to ever be fucked to do it myself. I'm suddenly finding all these opportunities to automate stupid shit I've been doing by hand because I was too lazy to write a script for it. It's really leveled the Adderall playing field.
