The video is heavily euphemised and I think I got away with it
Strange, ever noticed how many of the genAI logos looked like an anus? https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-buttholes. “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action”, what is dozens of times?
shit i can’t unsee this
Yes, it is crap.
Breaking free from the butthole
is this the best thing i’ve ever read?
something something facial recognition

NGL, they might’ve been better off skating the edge of IP and managed it after a little fat blobule, like the Partners In Crime adipose here. Adipilot has that “atta boy” sound, and selling fat to dumbfuck Americans is their business model already, so: apropos on so many levels. 🤷🏽♂️
edit: yes, now I see the earlier comment. 🤪
They called the idea nutty, even seedy, but the Copilot mascot turned out to be a seminal piece of marketing that spawned generations to follow. This was a huge release that left a lot of the more conservative viewers clutching their pearl necklaces. Cream of the crop. Busting once and for all the myth that Microsoft isn’t a fertile place for breeding marketing innovation. Coming out of nowhere, a climactic moment in the 2025 AI summer. Truly a moment to refract on during the upcoming period. All the money they’ve splooged on AI is finally coming to fruition and not just blown off and swallowed. The success will surely rub off on the AI industry as a hole or at least jack up Microsoft shares with vigorous excitement. And other semen jokes.
Or is it the fat just walking away? anyone remember the Adipose
Cumpilot?
Microsoft Edge
November’s especially tough at the actual office for M$ Edge drones.
Baldur Bjarnason has given his thoughts:
I mean… yeah.
Also, between this and seeing tech types link glowingly to a crazypants “colonise the light cone by exploring latent space” type of delusional bullshit and I’m staring to worry that computers, as a concept, might not be salvageable after these clowns have run the show into the ground
colonise the light cone by exploring latent space
Can someone explain what this is referring to? I don’t understand it.
is it cynical that i find the idea of a “latent space” a bit goofy? may just be because i think data science is kind of a joke and much machine learning is “we threw shit at our model but don’t know what a category error is”
like it’s just dimensionality reduction with new vocab?
(related tangent: @cstross’ Singularity series is a pretty fun topical dive about this, and he’s been following these nutjobs for probably close to 3 decades now)
@BlueMonday1984 I never thought I’d say this but, bring back Clippy!
Whilst we’re at it, bring back Tamagotchi - they don’t ruin the planet, and also they’re cute
kintamagotchi
cumputer*
You dropped this.
Looks a lot like the computer from the recent movie Elio
Another Oglaf reference???
Cumsprite.
Oh, right. I forgot the obligatory comment.
@dgerard why did you make the header image so sexy again?
because i know what you like
Gotta get those clicks where you can, amirite?
I’m into Clippy
Does it really?Removed by mod
Please tell the multi-trillion dollar company I’m sorry I made fun of their AI slop mascot. Just because it’s a milky white blob of fluid doesn’t mean it looks like a blob of another kind of milky white liquid.
Trump apologetics doesn’t really make the bar here. Hopefully you will find a sub that is more accepting of whatever your condition is.
