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.

#VSCode's #Copilot charges you more or less credits depending on which model you use. #chatGPT's #GPTo4 and #GPT41 don't cost anything, but they rarely perform more than one action at a time so you have to keep telling them to "continue". #GPTo3mini #GPTo4 mini only cost 0.33 credits, but they often don't get it right the first time so you have to keep calling them. #Claude #Sonnet nails it every time, but runs significantly longer.

I have an older am3+ mb with a ryzen fx-8350 black edition (I think built in 2012). It was my windows 10 machine but with the eol of win 10 I decided to install arch and gnome on it instead.

It would be plenty of powerful enough still to run win 11 (I know registry hacks work to install) but frankly I'm just over microsoft, their telemetry, their ad tech, and most importantly chatgpt/github copilot

Microsoft tries to keep its consumer Copilot out of New York Times AI copyright case - Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI CEO, leads the consumer Copilot team.

It's weird that #Github #Copilot can't rebase it's PRs when it creates conflicts. That really limits the usefulness.

> #Microsoft 365 #Copilot has a similar smart mode, which allows #Copilot to “use the most relevant #model for your request to give you better results,”

Am I becoming crazy? The Copilot toggle is OFF in this screenshot, right? If so, why is there still a Copilot icon on the top right? How do I get rid of it??

(this is in #Outlook for Win10)

Edit: the (temporary, because I already did it once a few days ago and Copilot is now back) solution is to follow the instructions for editing group policies here: https://pureinfotech.com/disable-windows-10-copilot/ (Method 2 for Win 10).

2020s: The year when ai build the world in every segment.
2030s: Probably the year when #AGI comes up.

The problem with #LLMs is that they improve much faster than people's opinions can

Microsoft just added a bunch of new features into the AI-powered Copilot Mode in its Edge browser. But can it really compete with Google and Perplexity?

It's "the year of AI agents". Also, 2025 is yet another year when M365 Copilot cannot yet turn an email into a calendar entry inside Outlook.

Sorry, that was too harsh. It CAN do that -after these 10 steps that I went through. Which included lots of failures and gashlighting, LLM style.

Why everyone isn't paying $30pupm for #Microsoft365 #Copilot at this point yet is a real mystery.

This is really wild: Microsoft is pushing more and more #spyware features into everyday products to steal all of your data:

"#Copilot #Vision is an extension of Microsoft's divisive Recall [...] is designed to analyze everything you do on your computer [...] by capturing constant screenshots and feeding them to an optical character recognition system and a large language model for analysis – but where #Recall works locally, #CopilotVision sends the data off to #Microsoft servers."

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/28/microsofts_recall_preview_on_non_ai_pc/

I would never ever trust a Windows system not to send out anything I do.

I really like #copilot's "Code Review" feature. It catches lots of things that the #Agent doesn't for some reason; maybe because it's using a different #LLM?

That said, it's way flakier; it leaves orphaned lines of code all over the place

I've been unemployed since 2023 or so, so I haven't gotten to use LLMs at work much yet. I'm actually kind of excited for it; I'm far more dangerous now. Maybe I can be one of those 10x devs who brings down prod on a Friday because he's refactoring the whole codebase for no reason!!

Back in my day you had to know enough to be dangerous.

"AI" apologists are now touting fucking blockchains as a solution to making sure artists' rights are respected when training models and generating slop.

This industry should die already.
