This is the guy who’s head of Office. The person responsible for greenlighting Copilot in Excel

Or, even worse, renaming office 360 to copilot

"My one condition for this interview - I must be referred to with my President title in full, not shortened to VP. People always focus on the 'executive' part and forget the President part. It's important."

wild that this has basically become "you guys need to take some personal responsibility and use AI in a way that is useful and makes us a return on our insane investment"

Let's be real, performance reviews have always been slop.

Reddit is reportedly thinking of cancelling its AI training contracts with Google, after realizing that Google's content theft engines are killing Reddit's entire business

oh is that what's killing it? LOL

Takes more than one nail to close a coffin, and they've been hammering a while already

Drown in the cesspit you’ve filled to overflowing.

Good, you can get the same exp the rest of us have to deal with from both coworkers and clients.

Nothing like getting a slopmail with some dumbass ai answer not even remotely related to the issue at hand.

Isnt the ai slop exactly what they wanted and even demanded just some time ago?

Hoist by his own petard

WELL WELL WELL, WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED SUCH A PREDICAMENT??????????

perhaps Microsoft's senior execs need to read the room, sit down, and take some responsibility for the chaos they've unleashed on the world.

And come down from their ivory towers, see things from the same plane of existence as the serfs and plebeians that should be grateful for living under their shadow? Preposterous!!!

You built the world's most resource intensive asshole, you deserve to have your lips sewn around it.

LordMayor@piefed.social · 11 pts · 1d

I hope the employees are doing this on purpose. Like, “Oh, you going to fucking make me use AI? Right. I’ll use AI for fucking everything. I’ll even let it decide what to send to you. Enjoy.”

Motherfucker must be getting altitude sickness from how high his petard has hosted him.

"No way to stop this" says the person actively making this happen.

When you're losing your biggest fans (e.g. the author), that's a strong signal..

How ironic....
