This is Cortana all over again. And I don't remember people using Cortana at all...

    Didn’t use cortana directly, but the “auto block out focus time” in my work diary was a freaking game changer and I am pissed they took it away.

    While I didn't use it regularly, I did use it here and there in both W10 and W10M. The jokes were pretty good too. But I'm an old-time halo player that is geeky as fuck so I'm laser-aligned with that demographic.

    Users: We are putting our PFP as clippy because it symbolises a time where software worked locally and just wanted to help without spying on you.

    Microsoft: wow they love that lil clippy fella let's make co pilot into a piss blob that floats around the screen spouting random facts its learnt from surveiling the users every move. It will be like their own personal FBI agent they will love it.

    I'm still not sure if Microsoft just doesn't get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants... but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I'm not sure Mico will age as gracefully as Clippy did, though.

    I guess in a perfect world companies like MS or Google would get fined for wasting so many resources on shit they shut down a year later. Not saying Mico is gonna be one of those things of course, I would never!

    This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.

    I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?

    Why doesn't anyone do history anymore? There really is so much to be learned.

    There are so many characters they can't do, it's like trying to choose a sports team mascot these days.

    They still screwed it up.

    This lil piss guy gave me an idea.

    We're gunna put AI and connectivity in Elf On A Shelf. The kids will be able to give their Christmas lists and confess their sins to the AI controlled Elf, which will have it's own Amazon wishlist.

    The Elf will weigh the sins of the child, and deeming them worthy, will automatically order the appropriate gifts off the list, which will be delivered via drone down the chimney Christmas Eve, once the Elf determines the child has gone to sleep.

    I will only ever speak to a machine if it can't hear me, and I'm cursing at it.
