    #Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/microsoft-in-court-for-allegedly-misleading-millions-of-australians-over-microsoft-365-subscriptions "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"EDIT: It seems that at least in some areas/situations the "classic" non-AI version is actually even more expensive. This isn't exactly making the situation any better of course.

    The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.https://disconnect.blog/generative-ai-is-a-societal-disaster/#tech #genai #generativeai #deepfake #politics #ireland

    @AliveDevil I think an MCP server is not that bad is just providing an interface for people who do want to run local stuff. It's not the same as advertising a completely unrelated product.

    @ziegenberg The customer also will pay for your waste of time as I hope the session-time is billed to the customer. At the missing rate: $600/hr if you tell me how AI wants me to do my job
