I have been balls deep in some copilot studio stuff over the past week. It is legitimately one of the worst applications I’ve use in my life. In a business environment, there is no security unless you pay for premium licenses for every user that touches a managed environment. That’s $30 per user per month for basic security. If you have one agent that 1000 employees may use, that’s baseline $30k per month. If you don’t have a managed environment, the anybody in your organization with a copilot license (not copilot studio) can login to the default environment, create agents, and share them indiscriminately. There is no middle ground.

Fuck everything about Microsoft. I really hope that AI kills them.

Proof of Concept.

I keep parroting this, but in the next couple of years, I think there will be a couple of giants that fall. I work in ServiceNow and they, like many others, have gone all in on AI. Their problem is that they were slower than some, their solution is half baked at best, and it’s prohibitively expensive. Nobody is paying 10s of thousands+ extra for the licensing to be able to run agents, and less are paying the extra licensing required for the users to be able to use that agent.

I’ve now been pulled into copilot studio, and yet again it’s another product rushed to market that isn’t ready for the big stage. Dog shit documentation and training material, and terrible environment design.

All of these big players have invested so much money in adding AI, nobody wants it, and now they’re all hemoragging money.

I’ve got two friends that are right in the edge of trying. One has a spare thin client that he wants to PoC with and was asking for distros and how to install. The other was thinking of jumping in the deep end with Arch, and I’ve warned him, but the wiki is solid, he’s not dumb, and Arch install is better than it ever has been.

I’d say no. The effort to setup a dual boot and then hope it never breaks isn’t with it. I’d recommend installing into a virtual machine and running from there. If you break something in your install then it’s easy to start over and it’s way easier for initial setup.

Or League or a slew of EA games.

God is fake, grow up.

I’m not sure where the thought that it’s clunky comes from, but the advantage to me is that I like the Android OS way more the the Apple OS. I don’t care about integration across devices because I don’t have more than one android device. Anytime I switch phones I login and everything loads in from my latest back up and it just works. I can connect to my computer with KDE connect or plug in with USB C if needed.

I’m not claiming it’s a better functioning product, I’m just saying the Android UX > Apple UX. The pixel has the advantage of flashing something like grapheneOS which no iPhones can do. Even with locking down side loading apps, there is still more freedom on Android devices than there are on iOS.

Also, I don’t like the feel of iPhones. I’m sure it’s something I would get used to, but it’s not my first choice.

A little, but that’s not a factor in this opinion. I think iOS is awful to use.

Imo, the Android experience is far better than iOS. I have no love for either Google or Apple, but I would rather use a slower older Android phone over any iPhone.

It’s a long article that I admittedly didn’t read all of. I got to the part where it said the details of his algorithm are basically unknown, which means his data means nothing. If someone can’t provide the proof to their claims, they have no merit.

An LLM that’s built entirely on code repo data, and is somehow claiming workers “do virtually nothing” without any sort of outside data, is insane.
