And Microsoft is stuffing AI straight into Windows.

Betchya dollars to fines that this will happen a lot more frequently as normal users begin to try to use Copilot.

    I work in IT and I try to remove all clues that copilot exists when I set up new computers because I don't trust users to not fuck up their devices.

    An unstable desktop environment reintroduces market for anti-virus, backup, and restore. Particularly, with users who don’t understand this stuff and are more likely to shell out cash for it.

    A joke in the aviation industry is that planes will someday become so automated there will just be one pilot and a dog in the cockpit. The dog will trained to bite the pilot if they try to touch the controls.

    So I maybe windows users will need a virtual dog to bite copilot if it tries to do anything.
