How many products does Microsoft have named ‘Copilot’? I mapped every one

A few weeks ago, I tried to explain to someone what Microsoft Copilot is. I couldn’t… because the name ‘Copilot’ now refers to at least 75 different things.

Almost Easter. Here’s the cartoon I did last year to mark the occasion.

‘Door in de NAVO te blijven, wordt Europa straks in een wereldoorlog meegesleurd’

Koert Debeuf | Midden-Oostenkenner: Met verbazing kijkt de Vlaamse hoogleraar Koert Debeuf naar de Europese steun voor de acties van de VS en Israël in Iran en Libanon. „Ik zie Israël als de meest onverantwoordelijke staat in het Midden-Oosten.”

Everything in the Trump administration is manipulated.

In 2017 Trump lied he had the biggest crowds in history at his inauguration. The press then requested photos from the National Park service.

I needed the photos for the film I am producing, and what do I get?

You can verify this by following the NPS link from CNN:
https://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/07/politics/national-park-service-inauguration-crowd-size-photos/index.html

And then clicking
"Inaugural Photo Request January 21, 2017"

(Photos were also tweeted out, but the tweets have been deleted too)

We visited RAF Fairford and Welford on Tuesday to investigate how Donald Trump is using these bases to bomb Iran.

These are then taken by lorry to RAF Fairford on the other side of Swindon to be loaded onto American B-1 and B-52 war planes bound for Iran.

Despite being in the English countryside, the military bases at Welford and Fairford are both operated by the US.

Starmer's Iran war lies exposed

“A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal.”

Maven, the program Google was forced to pull out of and Palantir took over, was the system that identified the girls’ school as a target.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

The U.S. Forest Service has been eliminated. With the stroke of a pen.

"You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die."

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

All of this raises lots of questions, where does art live, and do people even agree on that?

It seems that many people value art for how it makes them feel, while the history and the struggle of the artist are what attracts others.

Should only beautiful people be allowed to make music?

Must history, conception, technique, execution, and performance all be conjoined? What is art for? Are the feelings we derive from it any less real depending on its circumstances?

Eddie Dalton isn’t real, but what does that mean?

Computer-generated soul music is taking over the internet, raising questions about where humans think art lives
