Technology

Sweet; can't wait to try it.

Worst part is people will keep using this garbage. The brain rot is so real.

Damn I thought it was going to be at least useful like a text prompt.

"Search all these files dumped and find me the ones from my old pc, move them all to the same location on the biggest spare partition that isn't the os one, and then organize them into folders by general idea without breaking up the coherency of the directories. And do it without losing the existing modified or created dates. Retain the original organization in an xml doc that you can read, just in case I don't like the organization and want to try again."

Or

"Install all libre stuff and all of the most useful windows tools. Delete, disable, tear out, and block all telemetry from this Windows installation. There must be privacy and zero enshittification on this computer. Go through, file by file, including all hidden and file systems and services, reading through each and every binary, and decompile, rip out any spyware or telemetry, and recompile. You have a week and this system will be disconnected from the internet entirely for the duration. Go."

This is the type of ai that would actually be useful to me. Imagine the power of being able to fully delegate lower level tasks like this.

I love how even this flagship feature is just one more lazy shortcut to another app that bloats the context menu 😅

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

Only one of those things could be called AI.

Today I had to disable Copilot in Notepad.

Notepad.

The shitty word editor that you use to jot down your shitty writing before copypasting it into somewhere else to put actual work into it.

You’re telling me I can’t change the shitty line-spacing in shitty Notepad, but I can get a top-of-the-line corporate LLM to help me with my purposely shitty writing?

#keepnotepadshitty

possible issues:

1. blurred a part of the photo that shouldn't be blurred, data loss
2. erased the wrong object, data loss
3. deleted large chunks of content in my docs/ppts/spreadsheets I wanted to keep, data loss

This is a really bad idea

I'm so glad I've been moving away from windows recently

This is a whole new level of data mining, which is why they want it. Now they will scan everything that's open.

man I'm so glad I'll never use windows again.
