    Users: We are putting our PFP as clippy because it symbolises a time where software worked locally and just wanted to help without spying on you.

    Microsoft: wow they love that lil clippy fella let’s make co pilot into a piss blob that floats around the screen spouting random facts its learnt from surveiling the users every move. It will be like their own personal FBI agent they will love it.

      Didn’t use cortana directly, but the “auto block out focus time” in my work diary was a freaking game changer and I am pissed they took it away.

    I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?

      Capitalism is about juggling numbers, empty promises, exploitation, pump & dump and „HODL🚀🚀🚀“

      Capitalism is about ownership more than anything else. Capitalism states that the means of production is private property and to be used for the purpose of obtaining profit. As long as there is profit, supply and demand can go fuck itself along with the workers (those who produce). It really is a stupid system that can never be fully implemented (every economy is a mixed economy for a reason) since it naturally creates perverse incentive.

    This lil piss guy gave me an idea.

    We’re gunna put AI and connectivity in Elf On A Shelf. The kids will be able to give their Christmas lists and confess their sins to the AI controlled Elf, which will have it’s own Amazon wishlist.

    The Elf will weigh the sins of the child, and deeming them worthy, will automatically order the appropriate gifts off the list, which will be delivered via drone down the chimney Christmas Eve, once the Elf determines the child has gone to sleep.

    This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.
