No shit. Even opening a Word document now requires me to close two separate Copilot interfaces that open automatically and capture focus: one that auto-summarises the document, and one that wants me to use it to edit the document.
This is at work, of course. At home I switched to Linux rather than “upgrade” to Win 11.
Gotta have something to look forward to!
Ahh, this is fun. Every time I’m like “Is this it? Is this the one?”
But no, it never is.
And so it begins.
Nah uh! The world is made up purely of binary choices!
I’ve literally seen someone include “Don’t hallucinate” in an agent’s instructions.
People keep hating on LoL, but there is one really great thing about it: it keeps a lot of the worst gamers ring-fenced away from other games.
A lot of people never adopted logical thinking in the first place.
Bug fixing is not a reason to enable massive privacy violations.
That much is true.
you can send it to a server
Yes, because web browsers, under current web architecture, allow this.
This is entirely my point.
That can all be done 100% client side. The server does not need this information.
Here’s the information a web server needs to deliver content to a browser:
Everything else is a fucking security hole. There’s no good reason for servers to know what extensions you have installed, what OS you’re running, the dimensions of your browser window, where your mouse cursor is positioned, or any one of a thousand other data points that browsers freely hand over.
Still don’t really understand why browsers expose this data to sites.
Web browsers are just such a massive security hole.
Developers, developers, developers! 🥸
I do love the notion that most projects are documented well enough to recreate from scratch.
Training AI models on AI content is the fastest route to model collapse.
Even more fun fact, if you never clicked the “enable” button on Copilot, most of those settings are locked to “enabled” anyway.
Nah, guarantee the models have rules built in to deal with obvious stuff like that.
You need to be more subtle. Give them information that is slightly wrong.
XKCD 927 comes to mind.
