goob morning. it's a new dawn
wanna know how many times I was asked to install AI, use #copilot , sign in to my online account, or have my stuff stored on some cloud infrastructure by default?
✨ ZERO TIMES ✨ (the way it should be)
(yes there are still some issues - you will note not all apps have an icon in the panel 😂 there's a bug that means currently no shortcuts that use Tab can be assigned to anything, but hey.)

My thoughts on generative "AI"
I'm glad generative artificial "intelligence" was not a thing yet during the vast majority of my career. A number of realizations arose while exploring generative Large Language Models…
Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor.
Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment.
Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security.
Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility.

2. this was updated on October 24, 2025. since then NOT ONE TECH JOURNALIST has read it; because, not one tech "journalist" has reported that #Copilot IS MEANT AS #ENTERTAINMENT.

This morning I get an urgent alert from Copilot 365, I click on it and there’s a web query for “Tell me the latest trends in IT jobs” running which I never asked for.
I stop it and prompt: “I never asked for this”.
Reply: “Sorry for overstepping and running queries without being prompted”

I would like to thank the nascent "AI" industry for their significant contributions to all manner of artistic and creative endeavours in today's society: writing, coding, art, music, and everything else. [1]
Because they have single-handedly created entire new markets for all of these things - new categories such as "writing with guaranteed no AI", "coding with guaranteed no AI", "art with guaranteed no AI", "music with guaranteed no AI", etc. Without them, these whole classes of creative output would simply not exist.
[1] They are also innovating in the world of financial and investor fraud, but I'm not considering those areas in this post.

Before: open a spreadsheet, make a column a vlookup, filter, done
Now: write a prompt for copilot to generate the spreadsheet. Rewrite the prompt, rewrite one more time, finally a spreadsheet. Review spreadsheet, ask copilot why some columns are missing, new spreadsheet, review carefully, some numbers don't seem right, rewrite the prompt one more time. Give up, do it yourself, but tell your boss how much more productive you are so you don't get let go for not using AI.
@beep #GitHub really took the biscuit—this is just wild and deceptive beyond any morale:

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.

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."
Some pretty good tips here. Some are new, a few we knew already. If you use #Copilot you'll almost certainly find something useful in this set.

I wrote an article yesterday that was supposed to be about 2,000 words. My first draft was closer to 2,500 words. Asked #Copilot to take a look at my draft and suggest ways I could be more concise. It offered several ideas for ways I could edit down my draft to get closer to the length I needed. Did I use all of those ideas? No, but a few of them were pretty good. #AI

Hey we got WSL though. That's pretty cool.
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
https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-out-copilot-from-windows-11/
Maybe they used Cop pilot to update the UX.
If it's confusing enough, maybe you will ask cop pilot to open apps.
If #Microsoft hadn't fired #Clippy, but had instead placed him in a role where he could flourish, he would not have trained on all that data to become #copilot. Clippy is on a vengeance tour.

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.

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.
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.

Security theater. In fact I think "security" is really about control, and nowadays when I encounter a security challenge I think of it in terms of who is trying to control my behavior and to what ends. I think it's clear by now that many internet "security" controls, at least those deployed by large tech companies, are not good faith efforts to protect users; that's a secondary concern.

When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We abet the acceleration of a social media gyre that everyone admits is making life worse. We accept the further degradation of an already degraded educational system. We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts. We dig ourselves deeper into crises that have been made worse by technology, from the erosion of electoral democracy to the intensification of climate change. We condone platforms that not only urge children to commit suicide, they instruct them on how to tie the noose. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism.Yes +1.

This post is not an invitation to criticize me for using a Microsoft product or to suggest an alternative.
Programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.Peter Naur in Programming As Theory Building, 1985.
A computer program is not source code. It is the combination of source code, related documents, and the mental understanding developed by the people who work with the code and documents regularly. In other words a computer program is a relational structure that necessarily includes human beings.
The output of a generative AI model alone cannot be a computer program in this sense no matter how closely that output resembles the source code part of some future possible computer program. That the output could be developed into a computer program over time, given the appropriate resources to do so, does not make it equivalent to a computer program.

This seems like a likely move given the rhetoric. On top of that, I can say that in the 2016-2019 timeframe when I was actively running a startup company, I had many conversations with venture capitalists who were very keen on investing in startups that promised to do this. The tech at the time was clearly not credible, but given the mania over generative AI I could see this perception changing. To be clear, I don't think data scientists can or should be replaced by LLMs. I'm saying that what matters to VCs is whether they believe it's close enough to possible to throw money into. That much has definitely changed.

That may sound odd, since these are clearly technological artifacts in the way we've come to understand technology, and they're being produced by what's commonly called the tech sector. However, there are at least two ways in which these artifacts differ markedly from what we usually (used to?) think of as "technology":
(1) They tend to have a deskilling effect. The English word "technology" ultimately derives from the Greek word "tekhnē", which can be interpreted as meaning skill or craft. It's very much about a human being's ability to perform a task. Yet much of generative AI is aimed at removing human beings from a task, or minimizing our involvement. In that sense generative AI is very much anti-tekhnē
(2) They tend to lie squarely in what Albert Borgmann called "the device paradigm". L.M. Sacasas has several nice takes on Borgmann's distinction between devices and focal things. See https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/why-an-easier-life-is-not-necessarily and also https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/the-stuff-of-a-well-lived-life (and of course, read Borgmann himself!). Simply put, devices tend to hide their inner workings under a simplified "interface"; a device is a device “if it has been rendered instantaneous, ubiquitous, safe, and easy”, if it hides the means in favor of the ends. By contrast, focal objects tend to invite you into fully experiencing the focal practices they enable, to experience the means and the ends. In particular, they tend not to be easy: you have to engage with and learn to use them. Guitars are an interesting example of focal objects. To be (I hope not overly) simplistic, devices dumb you down while focal objects train you up. Devices are anti-tekhnē, and to the extent that current generative AI is created and deployed in the device paradigm, it is too.
None of this means generative AI has to be anti-tekhnē. I do admit though that I struggle to see how to make it less device-y, at least as it's currently made and used (I do have a few half-formed thoughts along these lines but nothing worth sharing).

I don't want to use Copilot (1). It is bad and unethical technology. I don't want Copilot forced on me any more than I want other commercial products forced on me when I'm trying to do something else.
So I did what I usually do: make a uBlock Origin filter to hide the thing I don't want to see. Here's the filter to hide that Copilot box on Github:
github.com##.copilotPreview
They'll probably change the CSS and this rule will stop working, but for now it makes the offending box go away.
To use this, open the uBlock Origin settings in your web browser, choose My Filters, paste that string above in the box, and click Apply Changes. Refresh Github to verify it works.
