Opening Microsoft Word now has this new...banner...

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.


At least doing documents in Office still fundamentally has its manual tools like it always has for several years, and there is only one AI component on the editor, but I have to wonder how long it lasts until they freaking make everything automatic and then a massive backlash happens.

Though, maybe it's unlikely for that to happen considering that several schools and academics (including my college) still heavily relies on Microsoft Office and its manual tools, and it's basically a requirement, which is fine by me. I grew up with Office.

If MS does actually make everything automatic, there would have to be a huge mountain of lawsuits, but who even knows at this rate?

Should you be angry? No, not really.

But this is definitely annoying.

I can ignore these banners and offers as always, but every time I see stuff like this, it's a hint they haven't learn their lesson, and it's going to be incredibly hard for them to change because they are kind of delusional about AI, objectively. They are holding their false beliefs so much, and they're the only ones who won't shut up about AI.

Sure, some Copilot stuff is somewhat useful, it could save you some time, but most people are just going to be lazy and leave the nonsensical, overly casual, and overly enthusiastic stuff it generates (big reason why it is called slop in the first place).

At the end of the day, this is just something not a lot of people is going to use. I don't really use it that much, either.

Some traditions simply can't be broken, like making stuff ourselves just fine, lol.

This is just embarrassing. Only 2 or maybe 3 brand new IPs by the 9th generation and then this.

Good thing I got my PS5 Pro over a year ago, and considering how careful I am with my devices, it can last years or even decades.

That's cute, but do you feel the need to go out of your way to commit this much towards AI?

Another issue is that Copilot 365 hallucinates more than the main Copilot, so it's not that reliable.

I'm still patiently waiting this obsession to stop.

I just recently discovered MistWarp, which is a fork of TurboWarp that really has very good amount of additional options and customization.

UI changes is something I always wanted because I grew tired of Scratch's vanilla UI designs.

Also yeah, new scene.

Finally got it. The ROG Raikiri II Xbox controller. Now it matches with my Z13.

I discovered this from an unboxing YouTube video.

I really love the lights and the many options I have configure this with Armoury Crate. It feels super nice, too.

Really glad changes like this are rolling out.

There may be finally some hope for Windows as the backlash from users and even enterprise businesses were strong enough.

I also heard they are probably redirecting their engineers to actually fixing real issues.

Pretty strange that some portions of the game have no voice acting to some extent.

I'm 90% sure other people skip a lot of dialogues because of how unfathomably HUGE this game is.

If this keeps going, then America would never be safe.

Xbox CEO is being replaced by this woman.

Buuuuuttt, I do have some skepticism because she was previously a president of CoreAI of Microsoft with absolutely no gaming background.

And yet, in her note, she said she has no tolerance to AI slop.

I was looking for good video editors other than Clipchamp as a Windows alternative to VN for my iOS devices and my Mac, and I came across this.

I was initially interested, until I realized really basic features, even 60 FPS, were locked behind a paywall.
