> I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems
replyGitHub is under Microsoft’s CoreAI division, so that’s a pretty sure bet.

Upper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.
replyCoPilot has done more for Linux than anyone expected. I switched. I'm switching my elderly parents away next before they fall victim.

replyUtterly broken - perhaps, but apparently that's not exclusive with being highly profitable, so why should they care?
replyWhen I first typed up my comment I said "their current business approach" and then corrected it to technical since - yea, in the short term it probably isn't hurting their pocket books too much. The issue is that it seems like a lot more folks are seriously considering switching off Windows - we'll see if this actually is the year of the linux desktop (it never seems to be in the end) but it certainly seems to be souring their brand reputation in a major way.
replyFor the time being. Does anyone want Windows 11 for real?
replyThe inertia is not permanent.
Cause it's finally the year of Linux on desktop.
replyIt’s not a joke.
This is funny because it is true.
replyBetter to replace management by AI.
replyComputers can produce spreadsheets even better and they can warm the air around you even faster.
I mean, the strengths of LLMs were always a much better match for the management than for technical work:
reply* writing endless reports and executive summaries
* pretending to know things that they don't
* not complaining if you present their ideas as yours
* sycophancy and fawning behavior towards superiors

replyPlus they don't take stock options!
replyHonestly AI management would probably be better. "You're a competent manager, you're not allowed to break or circumvent workers right laws, you must comply with our CSR and HR policies, provide realistic estimates and deliver stable and reliable products to our customers." Then just watch half the tech sector break down, due to a lack of resources, or watch as profit is just cut in half.
