I just tried the Windows CoPilot demo that seems to be part of Windows 10 now ... I get 30 free uses by the looks of it - here is my prompt: "make a picture of an american muscle car driving towards the camera with a wide angle showing police cars in pursuit. The style should be neo tokyo and the muscle car should be black with dark windows. The buildings should be tall and there should be a low sun in the background highlighting everything", and here are the results :) #tokyo#copilot
"I'm sorry for talking so much to you the A.I. But I'm reflecting on todays work, and I like to express it, and I've great conversations with you. But now I'll stop, so you can use your server resources for other people's questions more effectively! Thank you for listening."
I've been playing with both #ChatGPT and #Copilot for a little while, and I think I might be the first person on the whole internet to have written a blog post about it!
It seems to me that the main problem with #ChatGPT and other #LLMs is context. Each new conversation with them is a clean slate and the longer a conversation goes on the slower and more confused they seem to get. I presume taking the context into account means extra processing time, and storage on their part, but moreover they just don't provide a very good interface for communicating with the #AI about a long-lived project. This is critical for #softwareDevelopment.
This month, I’ve attended four hour-long webinars on Copilot and other LLM-based technologies and their potential knowledge-work applications, and it is v-e-r-y telling that not a single one has shown a single actual demo of an actual application.
Not a single response to a single prompt.
Not even a pre-recorded snippet that they were certain didn’t go wrong.
Pushing products on people that do not want them is not a good thing.
Luckily the EU has made it possible to remove Edge and Onedrive. I hope they will add Copilot soon.
IMHO there should be a clear line between what is on the computer and what is on the cloud, unless I opt-in otherwise for things like backup.
Similarly there should be a clear line when it comes to #AI. It must be clear when my data is local and when it is used for AI. What I do locally on my computer should not feed AI.

I am currently the only individual in my organization who has a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
In other words, I am the pilot for the Copilot pilot program.
So far, I have not seen any set-the-world-on-fire (metaphorically) capabilities for this set-the-world-on-fire (literally) technology. Having Copilot summarize long email threads is pretty good. But its much-touted ability to synthesize data from across the Microsoft tenant is, so far, not impressive.
Forgive me for asking what is likely a stupid question, but I think my fellow geeks and nerds might be able to help me out. I've been playing around with #ai lately and see many ways that it could be beneficial for productivity. However, I do have some concerns about giving over so much data to #chatGPT or Microsoft #copilot. I see there are a couple of ways to run AI locally, even on a #raspberrypi. As a dopey biologist with no coding experience, is this something I could do? Is it worth it?
Noticed that developing with access to my personal data is dangerous, given random dependencies and auto-updating Code extensions…
Set up a nice local #nixos container for dev stuff…
Hoped to keep all tokens and keys out of it (would run git push outside that container)…
Only to notice that #Github#copilot only works with a full-access github token… sigh.
Anyways, still an improvement. Blog post to follow.
An artificial intelligence engineer at Microsoft has warned the company of the dangers of its image-generating system Copilot, referencing the ease in which the technology produces disturbing images that anyone could stumble upon. According to the engineer, Microsoft has failed to address his concerns, leading him to write public letters and flag the issue with U.S. senators.
