Brad LinderMicrosoft rolled out a Windows 11 update this week that "unintentionally uninstalled" the Copilot app from some computers. It's an odd bug for a company that's been pushing its AI app as a selling point, but Microsoft is "working on a resolution," to bring Copilot back... whether you want it or not. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Copilot</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/631053/microsoft-windows-11-update-uninstall-copilot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theverge.com/news/631053/microsoft-windows-11-update-uninstall-copilot</a>

Jukka NiiranenLet me count the ways Microsoft has forced Copilot upon Office customers lately:1. Changing the name of the tool. 2. Changing the price of the tool. 3. Changing what & how the tool does.Each step was progressively worse.

SURFWe adviseren onderwijs- en onderzoeksinstellingen om vooralsnog geen gebruik te maken van Microsoft 365 Copilot. Uit onderzoek blijkt namelijk dat er privacyrisico’s verbonden zijn aan het gebruik van de generatieve AI-tool.We blijven met Microsoft in gesprek om deze risico’s op te lossen, maar raden op basis van de bestaande risico’s het gebruik vooralsnog af.

IBBoardDisabled GitHub Copilot about a week ago and I'm noticing a significant change in my productivity! I'm now FAR less likely to have to go back and edit code to change "hallucinated API" to "actually exists" 😐This is Python code. So it has seen plenty of it in training.
