  • MS has some snowflake (not Snowflake) execs... Poor little management, they need their safe space from a mean old word.

  • My FB is generally like that. However I have noticed I see more more delayed posts from friends, and it's starting to recycle posts from friends I've seen already. I'll see a friend post pics of a vacation they took but I won't see that post for 3-5 days, and in the mean time I'll see some other old posts from them that were from 1-3 weeks ago come up multiple times.

    Occasionally I do get blasted with AI slop and random accounts for a few days. When that happens I keep selecting to stop showing me that because I'm not interested.

    I join groups for my interests. I never interact with random groups that pop up. I'm pretty diligent about scrolling past ads and I report a ton of them that are AI bs or selling lies (like "tonics" that cure cancer).

  • Nope, not at all.

    I read your comment as ignorant to AI's capabilities and their negative outcomes with relying on vibe coding.

    The implication is that MS is forcing AI adoption on users at a point of absurd recklessness, and that they should not be trusted - especially not blindly trusted.

    Perhaps the reason you're seeing comments similar to my original comment more frequently is because actual software engineers whom know the capabilities of AI and how much of a bad decision it is to assume it's as good as a competent engineer. Many engineers have had years of experience working with management, whom while have legit concerns about the capabilities of software as they are ultimately responsible for it and the financials, see them turning to vibe coding and relying on it. Non technical folks think software is kinda easy to do, and because LLMs can generate code that it just proves their assumptions.

  • Nope, that's a very fair poke at MS. They've gone so far into AI adoption that it's become absurd.

    - They have VPs posting on Linkedin about rewriting existing code using AI and adhering to arbitrary metrics of a x% rewrite and laying off y% of engineers that used to work on it.

    - Renaming one of their major flagship product lines (MS Office) to (MS Copilot Apps 365).

    - Forcing AI features on users despite not wanting it, and overriding OS configuration that should turn it off.

    - Executives publicly shaming the general public for not wanting "all the AI all the time".

  • Just assume the only thing a human did was name write the initial prompt.
