They wouldn't sue, they'd just co-opt it. Embrace, extend, extinguish is Microsoft's MO for a reason, it works.

The hallucinations are real. I don't use them for longer stuff, I demand admin time for anything that's longer than a paragraph. But for quick office politics type stuff that I don't really care about but also need to not get ground under and also worry about coming off as blunt I'm kinda grateful to have it.

I have noticed that damn near every email I get that's longer than a paragraph seems to come from copilot though.

Tbh I'm starting to fantasize about switching to a trade. Front line office work is for the birds.

Copilot is okay at being a copy editor for my work emails. I struggle with tone so its nice to have a built in thingy that strips my personality out of my emails. Specifically my emails to my supervisor.

For example, "hi supervisor, I checked and that email was sent an hour ahead of the deadline from the email you sent me on date x and I was waiting on access to y. What the hell are you ccing your bosses on this for," turns into "something something per your previous email something, if I misunderstood something something, thank you for your guidance."

In a perfect world I would have time to write all my own emails but my job is very... Communication heavy, let's say, and I personally have a lot of work to do directly with clients that can't simply be put off.

Tbf they're the only ones using the agentic features, and they're definitely the only ones using frontier models for it. That shit gets expensive fast.

Every time I try to use reddit when it comes up in search results they slam the door in my face with pop ups demanding I install the app or log in. Can anyone even access enough content on reddit to convince them to join anymore?

New incredibly niche conspiracy theory just dropped

At 2k feet you're going to need some kind of equipment to find them.

Hahahahahaha FUCK YOU ORACLE!

sorry, needed to get that out of my system

that would drive up the price of ram in China too, which would likely make the CCP quite cross with them. Electronics are a huge export and the Chinese government has to worry about entire cities going offline or having to pivot their entire industrial sectors if the shortage lasts too long.

DRAM is a global commodity. Kind of like how Iran selling oil to China affects the price of WTI crude.

i think. I'm not a fuckin economist I just like to sound smart

He's stupid, but in this instance I think he's just bullshitting for spacex's sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let's be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.

If and only if someone is insane enough to develop off-planet manufacturing with the bulk of the raw materials originating from somewhere in deep space, e.g. asteroid mining, putting data centers in space might be useful for problems that demand intensive compute and can work with extreme latency.

Then again that's like saying inventing the airplane would have been a good strategy for Neanderthals to find better firewood.
