🎬 #PROMPTSPOTTING
👇 The unofficial movie poster:

Choose Copilot.
Choose auto-complete you never asked for.
Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon.
Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again.
Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task.
Movie poster on the street, in the style of Trainspotting, with Mark Renton laughing hysterically at you. PROMPTSPOTTING Choose Copilot. Choose auto-complete you never asked for. Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon. Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again. Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task. Choose hidden paywalls. Choose cloud lag. Choose hallucinated “facts.” Choose code that won’t compile. Choose transcripts no one reads. Choose privacy swapped for “productivity.” Choose your carefully crafted prompt eaten away as Copilot stops responding. Choose dashboards that have never been opened. Choose AI glitter over real fixes. Choose agents over apps. Choose hearing “we should use AI for this” when no one in the room knows what the f*** that even means. Choose watching a marketing demo with perfectly groomed prompts that never work in real life. Choose rotting away at the office as Copilot thanks you for your service via Teams chat before disabling your user account. Choose your future. Choose Copilot.

Update on the clickbait headlines and descriptions that appear in Google search results for Instagram handles:

"Google told me that it is not generating the headlines, and that it’s pulling the text directly from Instagram."

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them.

We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes.

The unsustainable production of food and fossil fuels causes $5bn (£3.8bn) of environmental damage per hour.

Yes, that's right.

Per hour.

Do not ever come telling me that sustainability and climate action are expensive.

Even if this "Enjoying Sales" popup sounds pretty dumb at first, I gotta hand it to the MS product team.

"Sales" is the ONLY part in the product name that has been present throughout the 6 iterations.💡
"Enjoying Sales" feedback popup in whatever the product is called today.

Microsoft Planner is in reality 2 separate products: the "classic" Planner on MS Graph and what used to be Project for the Web on Dataverse. At Ignite 2025, the promise of a single plan type was made, with expectations set as "in the coming months".

Now, we know more about the next #MSPlanner.👇
A single plan type in Planner From the Ignite 2025 session (BRK287): No more platform separation between Basic and Premium plans App features based solely on user’s license type, not plan type Single API surface for connecting to plan data and extending functionality Microsoft 365 agentic platform features available for all plans, incl. Project Manager agent

Remember when Bessent talked so sincerely about how blocking the export of high end chips to China was a national security issue of the highest order? A matter of whether our civilization can exist? That was then. Oh but time is like a River.

You had one jobin uusi maailmanennätys:

"naamioitunut joukkio tönäisi ulkomaalaisen naisen katuun Töölöntorin kulmalla.

Silminnäkijä kertoi tilanteesta paikalla olleille poliiseille, mutta hänen mukaansa nämä eivät puuttuneet asiaan, vaan ohjeistivat soittamaan hätäkeskukseen."

"Joka tapauksessa Sivula ihmettelee, toteutuuko sananvapaus Suomessa, jos poliisi voi pidättää ihmisen, joka esittää julkisella paikalla kiusallisen kysymyksen presidentille – oli tämä sitten toimittaja tai aktivisti. "

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää vapaassa Suomessa!

Exactly 85 years ago, the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union ended in a ceasefire.

Now, another victim of the Kremlin's brutal assaults may soon be forced into an unfair ceasefire by the tepidity and stinginess of the West.

Which makes the following text very poignant - and relevant.

I'm totally hearing this in the voice of Ewan McGregor when reading the latest piece by @edzitron.com:

"...Because our bosses tell us “you need to be AI-first” without knowing what the fuck that means."

Choose your future. Choose Copilot.💉
The products being made by the tech industry no longer feel like they’re made for any living human being, but the abstraction of a person created in the mind of a product manager in Palo Alto or a venture capitalist that hasn’t set foot in a city in a decade. These people believe that the best products are the ones that must be forced upon users, who in turn will adapt to how the product works versus making products that solve a problem that a customer already has. Silicon Valley no longer leads us — it attacks us with ideas until we either give in or are tricked into engaging with Copilot on Word or Gemini on Google Docs or accidentally brush an AI button or because our bosses tell us “you need to be AI-first” without knowing what the fuck that means.

Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

"Bring up AI in a Seattle coffee shop now and people react like you're advocating asbestos."

How people working at Microsoft hate what Copilot did to the company:
jonready.com/blog/posts/e...
If you could classify your project as "AI," you were safe and prestigious. If you couldn't, you were nobody. Overnight, most engineers got rebranded as "not AI talent." And then came the final insult: everyone was forced to use Microsoft's AI tools whether they worked or not. Copilot for Word. Copilot for PowerPoint. Copilot for email. Copilot for code. Worse than the tools they replaced. Worse than competitors' tools. Sometimes worse than doing the work manually. But you weren't allowed to fix them—that was the AI org's turf. You were supposed to use them, fail to see productivity gains, and keep quiet. Meanwhile, AI teams became a protected class. Everyone else saw comp stagnate, stock refreshers evaporate, and performance reviews tank. And if your team failed to meet expectations? Clearly you weren't "embracing AI."
