- I am all for it the copilot agent PRs on GitHub and the interactions of their employees with it are hilarious.

- I was under the impression that dogfooding was a good practice for quality control that improves your products. Not anymore, apparently. Now we make fun of them for doing that.

- I really hate all of these executives trying to shove AI our throats.
- They're even pushing their customers. Microsoft always pushes "adoption". They don't understand some users just have no need for or don't like certain features.
I work a lot with Microsoft consultants and that constant adoption evangelism is exhausting. It's not like their tools are even very good anyway. But they're as pushy as Jehovah's Witnesses.
They also see themselves too much as a 'partner', with the associated air of wanting to tell us what to do. They're a vendor, nothing more.

- My guess...they want to their employees actions as some sort of training data?
Makes sense if you think about it. Really force everyone to use AI tools, check what prompts they've entered, and analyze areas where you can cut headcount.
- Liuson told managers that AI "should be part of your holistic reflections on an individual's performance and impact."
Running MSFT like an Asian sweat shop will sink it long term, but perhaps that is the goal.

- Damn AI must be pretty good if they gotta force their employees to use it.

- I'm convinced people only use Microsoft because of licensing contracts and familiarity. It's an awful company with subpar products.
