With Microslop having deprecated the Intellicode auto-completion extension in #VSCode and sooner or later forcing everyone to use cloud-based #Copilot instead, are there any other #TypeScript users wh…

#Microsoft is using #ClaudeCode internally while selling you #Copilot

I got into an argument with #Microsoft #Copilot today.
I asked for PowerShell code to trim the first N digits from every filename in a directory. Testing showed it actually removed 2·N characters. When I reported the bug, Copilot insisted that was impossible and said I must have run it twice.

#VSCode deactivates #IntelliCode in favor of the paid #Copilot

Vertraulich? Nicht für alle. Wegen eines Programmierfehlers fasste Microsofts 365 Copilot E-Mails mit Sensitivitätslabeln aus „Gesendet“ und „Entwürfe“ zusammen. Stephan Scheuer & Dietmar Neuerer berichten im #Handelsblatt über Risiken für Unternehmen und Behörden. Microsoft spricht von „behoben“. Transparenz sieht anders aus.

Bitbucket recently announced shutting down inactive workspaces.
I logged there, and my Ph.D stuff (mostly papers, some Python) were all there.
To preserve them, I asked #Copilot to write a script to move them to GitHub.
If you want to admire the slop, there’s now a post about it

Migrate Bitbucket repositories to GitHub · Technical inconsistencies blog
Just before Christmas, I got an email from Bitbucket saying that inactive workspaces will be deleted. Almost 20 years ago, I created a Bitbucket workspace to host my university stuff (mostly for my research thesis and various papers). And while I have the final PDFs, I did not want all that LaTeX to go to waste, so I decided to migrate everything to GitHub (which, since 20 years ago, added private repositories to their free offering).

Windows 11: Neues Tool verspricht komplett KI-freies Betriebssystem
Microsoft integriert zunehmend künstliche Intelligenz in Windows 11, doch nicht jeder Nutzer möchte Copilot, Recall und Co. verwenden. Ein neues Tool verspricht Abhilfe und entfernt sämtliche KI-Komponenten restlos aus dem Betriebssystem.

Never thought I'd see the day when an #LLM in the current crop chooses #honesty over #fabrication. I guess, in this case at least, I beat #Copilot into submission (with an earlier criticism). But pretty sure it'll soon be back to confidently fabricating answers.

Oh, #GitHub is empathetic to #OpenSource projects impacted by all the #AI slop. They're willing to help, right?
#Copilot even once, and of course they're not going to let people actually block this piece of shit.

1: Webdev who just wants a decent nav bar
2: Copilot
Not bad at all. 👏
