who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?

Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they're doing?
We didn't all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.
They know what they are doing. Their goals just don't align with the rest of humanity.
The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence... The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT
Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book "against empire"
It would be really funny if it wasn't so sad.
It combigated them.

Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here's the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does... Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I've ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.

I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.
Don't attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.
As someone who's career depended on presentations for a while:
Never build animations in-slide (unless they are purely aesthetic).
Instead:
Build multiple slides which duplicate the previous and add new boxes with transitions on the slides. Bonus: change the title on each build to cover the key point.
Sure, they take longer to edit. But that leave-behind export to PDF always works.
Combigent is too nice a sounding word to lack any real meaning it needs one.
Combigent (adj.)
Definition: A word that seems like a real word but actually isn't
It also looks completely plausible for a word. I can see why an AI trained to make plausible-looking images generated it.
Now I'm curious to see what other perfectly English-looking words it comes up with
Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word! Veritably cromulent

Clown corporation. If I were employed by Microsoft, I'd probably be embarrassed to admit that in public.
You missed "Microsoft 36S" and "Intemal Docs"
Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.
I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.
Veritable answer? Indubitably!
I see, they have been continvoucly morging the docs themselves, as per their developer docs
Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word.
I solemnly swear to god, I posted this exact same thing before I saw your post lol
They morged it https://nvie.com/posts/15-years-later/
The worst is claiming Copilot "understands intent & meaning", the funny mistakes more or less show that that's just a blatant lie.
According to Microsoft's own terms and conditions, AI is supposed to be used for entertainment purposes only. They're breaking their own terms and conditions here.
There are also three "Data Flow" labels (two for the same arrow even) and I'm pretty sure it says Intemal Docs, which makes sense for and AI to mess up too because of similar m and rn look.
It's Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.
