@techNmak This is true but ignores the existence of mcp which makes it moot

@stevesi OTOH I was introduced to programming by my chemistry professor in 1973, never stopping after that.

Cornell is not all colleges, just like Microsoft is not all companies

@pmarca When I ask Alexa+ questions, I'll be sure to say this first 😀

Actually, I'll write a Lambda function that prompts it with this and see if it lasts through the day. It should actually save Amazon many tokens, not having to generate all of the gratuitous back and forth

We're making a big change to the Copilot experience.

Agent Mode is generally available and now the default across Copilot in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

As models become more capable, we’re bringing that power to where real work happens, right in the canvas.

The power of a spreadsheet as an example is its spatial representation of information. What sits next to what, what feeds what. Give an agent that canvas to reason over, and a single prompt can reshape the model, the bridge, and the narrative at once.

@bryan_johnson Yeah I've seen it a few times now, all the Enneagram type fives get one shotted into AI psychosis when they discover LLM knowledge bases :) And an especially a strong fit when you have a lot of pre-existing data to insert into it.

@stevesi A Satya-driven bias for action, seemed like. When you lack an effective monopoly, maybe 3 versions to get it right isn't effective. Then again, what's there is not that useful

@theblockprof "The IBM MT/ST will reduce the time it takes to do this paperwork, and will do the work so that people will no longer have to do this work" - IBM, 1964. "Computers are now capable of autonomously generating more information" - Zuboff, 1985.

In fact, more lawyers will be needed

@stevesi @satyanadella - SteveSi@ might not be interested in leveraging his skills at MS. DM me if you need a substitute. The role described by the Recruiter Copilot sounds “exciting” 😉
