This is what I think of every time I see Microsoft Co-Pilot mentioned:

‘Snapshots’ Published in #OHMURR – LupeWrites

Dear authors:
Thank you for sharing your stories with us. Thanks for introducing us to your worlds and characters and allowing us to go on adventures with them and feel their emotions. To laugh with them, cry with them, fight alongside them and (hopefully) triumph with them.
Authors may not get the hype the visual artists get in this fandom, but a good story can stick with someone for a lifetime, even if they don't realize it right away.
Anyways, thanks again you wonderful and amazing bards of the digital age.

ADHDers often experience periods of intense, hyperfocused productivity—getting things done in a fraction of the expected time.

But this paints a false picture of your “normal.”

So that all-too-familiar “not living up to your potential” haunts you whenever you fall short of perfection.

From my local WhatsApp group:

The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

The deadline is 31 July 2025.

NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨

This is what I think of every time I see Microsoft Co-Pilot mentioned:
@trif #WithAltText
When someone mentions swastikar's autopilot:
@trif The inflatable co-pilot is named Otto, not George (Despite the common term "Let George fly it")
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1290293/bio/
Otto - Biography - IMDb

Otto. Actor: Airplane!. Otto is one of the most iconic movie objects of all time, not only recognized by audiences around the world for his only film performance in the massive hit Airplane! (1980), but he also has a profile page on IMDb along with other film cultural icons like Volleyball, Wilson the and Robby the Robot. Otto was an inflatable balloon born in 1979, created and conceived by three...

IMDb
@Firesphere thanks for the correction
@Firesphere @trif but why make George work when you can just turn otto-pilot on?
@zbrown @Firesphere @trif he charges too much. You know why? Inflation.
@Firesphere @trif so it's an OTTO PILOT yaaaay hahaha !
@trif It's accurate.
@trif Doesn’t quite work for me. Compared to Microsoft Copilot, Otto is both funnier and more competent.
@trif Is that The Angriest Boy?
@hosford42 never realised the resemblance

@trif

I just almost uninstalled it, but don't trust Microsoft not to sabotage my OS if I do.

Anyone ever remove it from Win10?

@trif (edit: sorry my wires got crossed and i thought uninstall windows) then just overwrite it or never boot the partition if you leave it on there?

I mean.. the BIOS or Intel chip could have a backdoor, but i don't think it's up to M$ to use it.

It can certainly helpful if it's a secondary machine and if you have someone to help you through it..

@jasper

No worries. Thanks for taking a stab at it.

I know one workaround for that 360 garbage I also don't think I can remove--I don't let my computer autoconnect to he internet. So things like 360 that report on me before I'm allowed to use the machine throw off an error and I can close at least the visible parts of them before going online.

@Uair @trif
Done so a couple of times now (it reinstalls it on each update).
Haven't seen any ill effects apart from to the help section of MS Word, but since that was fairly useless anyway, no big deal.
@Uair @trif remove it now, from everywhere around you.
@Uair @trif I got rid of it and lost the font I write all my books in (Sabon). I *must* have that font. So I submitted to Co-Pilot's presence. But I never use it. 🤮
@trif fun fact in Poland title of this movie was translated as „Is pilot flying with us?”
@trif
I think that's a bit advanced tbf. And probably safer too.

@trif the “Pilot” metaphor breaks because apparently there are now three roles…

• Pilot Flying
• Pilot Monitoring
• Pilot Hallucinating

…instead of two?

@trif I suppose the difference is that George actually did do something *useful* and *helpful*... though he wasn't very communicative.

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.

@trif nothing like it, this one was actually useful
@trif I will now...
@trif I mean look at the VSCode logo:
@trif same actually!!
@trif @Sebastian And it is exactly that … 😁
@trif It looks like JD Vance
@trif A pin, anyone?
@trif The movie also describes what you have to do, that the LLM does what you want
@trif it's funny until you realize this guy lives in your neighborhood, and he drives a tesla.
@trif that's an insult to my boy Otto
@trif Complete with the depiction of the new primary work assignment of Mickeysoft's devs!
@trif Which immediately triggers memory of the scene that is following
@trif @Gargron No, it’s definitely this
@trif the "top up valve" is the perfect stock price point here
@trif the on switch is even in the same place!
@trif That's an unfair comparison. The co-pilot shown here was useful.

Yep... I see the same thing. Whole software package is a joke.

@trif

@trif And hear that
> "why did you cut off?"
> "I did not do so"
dialogue about the fuel control switch from that recent #AirIndia crash: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79qrez8gqlo :-(
Fuel to engines cut off before Air India crash, preliminary report says

The plane's flight recorders had one pilot asking the other why they had switched off the fuel - and the other saying he had not.

@gittaca @trif this is going to be a big story. Thanks for sharing.

@trif

perfect 🤣 🤣 🤣

@trif I think of The Riddler (from Batman Forever). He has a machine that provides a novel form of entertainment, but which simultaneously redirects useful knowledge and thoughts to back to central HQ for nefarious purposes. To me, that's what these centralised AI systems are.
@trif At least Otto knew how to be quiet...
@trif Why does "Julia Hagerty" jump to mind when I see that pilot dummy? 🤣
