Strange, ever noticed how many of the genAI logos looked like an anus? https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-buttholes. "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action", what is dozens of times?
shit i can't unsee this
Yes, it is crap.
Breaking free from the butthole
is this the best thing i've ever read?
They called the idea nutty, even seedy, but the Copilot mascot turned out to be a seminal piece of marketing that spawned generations to follow. This was a huge release that left a lot of the more conservative viewers clutching their pearl necklaces. Cream of the crop. Busting once and for all the myth that Microsoft isn't a fertile place for breeding marketing innovation. Coming out of nowhere, a climactic moment in the 2025 AI summer. Truly a moment to refract on during the upcoming period. All the money they've splooged on AI is finally coming to fruition and not just blown off and swallowed. The success will surely rub off on the AI industry as a hole or at least jack up Microsoft shares with vigorous excitement. And other semen jokes.
Cumpilot?
Microsoft Edge
November's especially tough at the actual office for M$ Edge drones.
Baldur Bjarnason has given his thoughts:
I mean… yeah.
Also, between this and seeing tech types link glowingly to a crazypants “colonise the light cone by exploring latent space” type of delusional bullshit and I’m staring to worry that computers, as a concept, might not be salvageable after these clowns have run the show into the ground
cumputer*
You dropped this.
colonise the light cone by exploring latent space
Can someone explain what this is referring to? I don't understand it.
is it cynical that i find the idea of a "latent space" a bit goofy? may just be because i think data science is kind of a joke and much machine learning is "we threw shit at our model but don't know what a category error is"
like it's just dimensionality reduction with new vocab?
(related tangent: @cstross' Singularity series is a pretty fun topical dive about this, and he's been following these nutjobs for probably close to 3 decades now)
@BlueMonday1984 I never thought I'd say this but, bring back Clippy!
Whilst we're at it, bring back Tamagotchi - they don't ruin the planet, and also they're cute
kintamagotchi
Another Oglaf reference???
Cumsprite.
Looks a lot like the computer from the recent movie Elio
NGL, they might've been better off skating the edge of IP and managed it after a little fat blobule, like the Partners In Crime adipose here. Adipilot has that "atta boy" sound, and selling fat to dumbfuck Americans is their business model already, so: apropos on so many levels. 🤷🏽♂️
edit: yes, now I see the earlier comment. 🤪
Oh, right. I forgot the obligatory comment.
@dgerard why did you make the header image so sexy again?
because i know what you like
Gotta get those clicks where you can, amirite?
I’m into Clippy
Or is it the fat just walking away? anyone remember the Adipose
Does it really?
something something facial recognition
I hate my desktop
Should we tell him that it's Microsoft's fault?
The video is heavily euphemised and I think I got away with it
Sidenote: It would be hilarious if YouTube began demonetising videos featuring Microsoft Copilot's Cum Zone
Young and dumb
Liquid glass (the apple thing) also looks like semen.
remember, the actual design name is Liquid Ass
(still amazing that they PR blundered that, and how rapidly just that got fixed while addressing nothing else about this stupid thing)
tangential: reminds me of this stupid thing that I saw like 10 years ago that I have recreated for y'alls viewing pleasure. Feel free to insert whatever narrative you like as to how I encountered the image on the left.
… what?
New UI style that apple uses
Tofu, if it were orange the article would read "...looks like a blob of orange semen"
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
