Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

Got a new laptop recently. Copilot pops up, so I asked it how to permanently disable Copilot.

It gave me a wordy non-answer, along with a "fun fact" about my local area


totally relevant and not creepy at all.

Then, after I demanded it tell me how to permanently disable itself, Copilot gave me a completely wrong answer.

After specifying the "app or service" I'm using (Windows, you fucking clueless piece of shit), it then gave me a half-baked answer that called commands which weren't installed by default.

I then used duckduckgo to figure out how to install the configuration tool copilot said to use but that Windows had decided to hide from me.

Good job completely wasting my time, you ai-loving fucks at Microsoft. I don't need new reasons to nuke your shitty software and install Linux, but now I have them. If Linux had native vst3 support, I wouldn't have even booted into Windows.

Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book, and being the sci-fi novel backgrounding hippie culture, I wouldn't have expected Musk to have read it.

Wait, Musk thinks grok comes from the hitchhiker's guide? What a moron

Yeah this whole time I thought he was a at least a Heinlein fan…

Considering Heinlein had a lot of sympathy/support for fascism, it makes sense Musk would be a fan.

Are you just saying this because of Starship Troopers? He explored a lot of ideas through fiction but I don’t think you can call him a supporter of fascism because of that one book, unless you know something else about his personal life. Of all his books I’ve read I think the only real ideological through line is “horny old guy objectifies women and that’s OK”.

Like Stranger in a Strange Land has Space Jesus starting a revolutionary free love commune, I don’t think that’s really in line with fascism.
