Is it just me, or are LLMs starting to produce python code with type hints for EVERYTHING? Call me lazy or a bad programmer, but I don't use type hints so aggressively.

When using llm generated code, do you "clean it up" to match your style, or leave it all in there?

Today's working day spent in pair programming with #Copilot. We were reverse-engineering a #Bluetooth device to make it work with our app. Those devices were working previously, but the manufacturer later made it much more complicated to use them with third-party apps.

This was my first such experience. I mean #AI, not #ReverseEngineering.

First of all, that was a fun process. Long, complex, but fun. Second, that was unexpectedly successful. Also, I learned a lot. Everything else is NDA.

When using #Copilot for anything work related it's important that you're signed in with your Microsoft 365 credentials so that you get Enterprise Data Protection. That helps protect your #privacy by keeping your conversations inside your Microsoft 365 tenant.

The situation with GitHub has improved somewhat. This is one of the ongoing issues, to no one's surprise:

"We're continuing to investigate an issue where Copilot policy updates are not propagating correctly for a subset of enterprise users."

This satirical image mocks the Microsoft Office suite by altering the company's branding to read "Microslop" alongside the familiar four-colored square logo. Below this header, two rows of standard application icons are displayed with their names changed to include the word "slop," such as "Wordslop," "Exslop," "PowerSlop," "NoteSlop," and "Sloplook" in the top row. The bottom row continues the pattern with "Slop Point," "SlopDrive," "Slopccess," and "Power Slop Intelligence," with the sole exception being the Microsoft Teams icon, which is bitingly labeled "Recycle Bin."

Many years ago I made this high-level observation about the difference between UNIX-like operating systems and Windows.

In the UNIX mental model, that CPU and RAM belongs to the end user. As an operating system, you want to be a good steward of those resources and make as much of it available to the user as possible. The OS should be very reluctant to include functionality that increases how much a system uses while "idle."

In the Windows mental model, the computer's resources are available to whatever Microsoft thinks they're useful for. It's good to leave some for the user, but Microsoft will take more if it thinks it is a good idea.

Apple is on this continuum, too, and I think they're more at the Windows end of the spectrum. They're definitely bumping elbows, if they're not sitting in the same chair. If Apple thinks something resource hungry like Spotlight is a good idea, they will bundle it.

What got me thinking about this was thinking about the resources it probably frees up to completely rip #Copilot out of #windows11

Microsoft rush to add AI to everything they have failed or ignored making existing products better.

As I am forced to use #O365 here is my wish list for enhancements.

1. The ability to schedule a follow up meeting from an existing meeting in Calendar without having to recreate the whole invite from scratch.

2. Add notes to emails. We have a shared mailbox and I would love the ability to add notes to a email for my colleagues or keep a note on the email for later reference.

3. Outlook client that has ZERO problems updating messages. My inbox is not even that full and the client hangs when updating folders and messages. It is the bane of my existence.

"Why should you care if an AI company has a file on you?

You might not want ads following you around based on your more intimate conversations.
When AI companies train their products on your data, we don’t know how well they edit out names, faces, addresses and other personal information — or how often they leak back out in AI answers.

Copilot is commenting on a shell script. The first line of the script is a standard shebang, i.e. `#!/usr/bin/env bash`. Specifically there are no spaces anywhere in that code other than between "env" and "bash". Copilot however, eager to prove that it's a good little LLM, has decided that it just has to comment. "There are extra leading spaces before the shebang line" it eagerly yells. "The shebang must be at the very beginning of the file with no preceding whitespace"

Bought 5 tickets for the PowerBall last night and decided to experiment this morning by asking both #Copilot (Consumer) and #ChatGPT to check my numbers. I gave them the same prompt - "Did any of these numbers win last night's PowerBall" accompanied by a photo of my ticket.

Copilot didn't correctly OCR the ticket getting several of the numbers wrong. ChatGPT accurately read the ticket. Sadly we didn't win.

Disappointing that Copilot wasn't able to accurately read the numbers, though.

I actually did come up with a helpful use for #AI while I was meeting with my boss.

I'm frequently annoyed when a coworker says a feature is impossible to build, when I know there must be a simple way to do it. Now I can ask #Copilot for a solution, and since it will never say something is impossible, I can just forward the response to my coworker and say "Uh, oh, artificial intelligence is going to steal your job if can't come up with a better plan than this!"

My boss is being forced to buy me a #copilot license, since she can't just say that someone on her team is not going to be following the same processes as everyone else, so now if I don't use #AI, #Microsoft can just pocket the subscription fee as profit, which is not acceptable.

I guess I will be spending a few hours each month crafting prompts like "rewrite all of the comments in this code as if you were a Muppet who is obsessed with eating cookies."

I saw an interesting article yesterday that said #Microsoft was finally admitting that some program of theirs was so bloated and #slow to start that it was harming the user experience, so they were considering pre-loading it at boot (or #login) time so #users wouldn't see the huge delay when they went to open it.

(Of course, that would slow down booting or login...)

But that program is ... Windows File Explorer.

So let me get this straight - a glorified file picker and directory navigator is so #bloated and slow it can't start up instantly? And thousands of engineers can't figure out how to make it fast or efficient?

Maybe they should ask #CoPilot to speed it up.

I heard a #Copilot commercial on a #LegalTech podcast yesterday. Not that surprising, except...it was a commercial for the CONSUMER version of Copilot. No wonder lawyers are confused - they're hearing ads talking about features their version of Copilot doesn't have. 🤦‍♂️

I usually use either #ChatGPT (for everyday tasks) or #Claude (for coding), but I found #GitHub #Copilot extremely useful when a CI job fails. There is a button that opens a menu, and one of the items is "Explain the error". It spawns a chat with a premade prompt, so no need to frentically sift through logs, first finding the failing job with a screen reader, then trying to find the error in question. It can be done of course, but afterwards, if Copilot's explanations are not good enough. #AI #AITip #Accessibility

I went to a presentation at work today about things one can do with copilot. The presenter used real examples mostly involving asking copilot to tell him how to automate common tasks -- like e-mailing people based on the contents of a spreadsheet. All tasks that could have been automated years ago with macros or Power Automate, &c.

My first thought was "there's nothing new here," as I dreamed up several ways I could have automated these tasks ages ago, no copilot required. But that's the thing. People have been plugging away at data entry roles and other office tedium that simply have not needed to exist since the late 90s. It is not that AI can suddenly automate tasks that couldn't have been before, they've been automate-able for a long time but the people doing them had no idea _how_.

Would it have been better had the presenter learned how to write his own macros? I would argue yes. But the copilot answer was better than continuing with pointlessly manual
tasks.

#Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.

Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.

This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.

I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/microsoft-in-court-for-allegedly-misleading-millions-of-australians-over-microsoft-365-subscriptions "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"

New phishing technique - CoPhish - weaponizes Microsoft Copilot Studio to steal Entra ID OAuth tokens.
Attackers build malicious AI agents hosted on legitimate Microsoft domains, exfiltrating tokens via “Login” flows that appear genuine.
Uses OAuth T1528 techniques + token forwarding through Microsoft IPs for stealth.
🛡️ Detection ideas:
- Monitor consent grants in Entra ID logs.
- Restrict unverified app registrations.
- Disable user app creation.
- Flag Copilot bots using trial tenants or untrusted domains.

How are you tuning detections for AI-driven OAuth phishing?
