Now I understand why at each windows 11 update, they introduce more bugs than ever

    If they start with those products today with zero marketing budged and zero user base nobody would use it. Those CEOs are just clowns.

    He used the words “written by software”. This is ambiguous and doesn’t mean AI, for example, using annotations for variables and generating the getters and setters would count. Right click and create function body for interface function definitions also.

    They’re exaggerating to pretend their AI is more useful than it is.

      Intellisense in visual studio has also been really good for over a decade. Which is technically also written by software and not me.

        I mean, really good intellisense is a great improvement, but it’s not replacing devs any time soon.

    Government spyware finally has a challenger for the title of “primary reason that most Microsoft software runs like hot garbage”.

      Are they including code generated to test their own models capability maybe?

    Copilot. Piloting you towards effortless bugs, and with all the telemetry, we don’t need to test our patches and updates. You, the user are doing that for us. Sincerely, Microsoft.

    If this were true there would massive databreaches. AI is really bad at keeping private keys private. Not to even mention the default credentials it would use because it doesnt have commen sense to change them

      Likely a lot of manpower were focused on that, and/or the employees rather wrote their own code then lied about the AI use (heard a lot about it).

      I disagree. It feels like your making this assumption from the point of view that people using AI to develop turn their whole brain off and let AI take the wheel. Any dev I know using AI uses it as a time saving measure, i.e. advanced autocomplete, or to assist with troubleshooting as a form of advanced search engine. Also you would have no need to give the AI the actual key itself, at most you would give it the title of the variable the key is saved as.

        I find it hard to believe because I work at an adjacent company who has made similar claims and it is complete bullshit.

        I do think there is some about of “AI provided a smart complete and the developer hit ‘tab’ to take the changes” equalling “this code was written by AI” in some metrics that go to the execs. And since the execs mandated high AI use everyone is fine just saying they have high AI use regardless of how true it is.

    Well, that would explain a lot.

    I’m also guessing that at “up to 30%” of the company’s leadership decisions are being made by AI too.

    I hope that that’s inclusive of something like lines of documentation in comment lines.

    Windows is 95 percent pure bloat now imo, an os just needs to handle my hardware and launch my programs anything else is just eating my resources.

      I don’t need any assistance from anything while my phasers and quantums aren’t doing anything. I don’t need AI doing anything when I finally get the proper setup for crashing a Tomcat into a big old mountain that only a fool would miss. I don’t need any bloat while I’m ripping off an old cartoon character for a D&D campaign.

    Is this why they haven’t said why they one folder needs to be there. They actually don’t know.

        Basically, there was a security flaw with Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (web server software) that could be exploited by an attacker to gain access to files and folders they shouldn’t be able to (permission escalation?). Well, instead of providing an actual fix to the problem as a whole, they applied a bandaid fix by creating a new folder named “inetpub” on peoples system drive, and apparently the presence of the folder is able to prevent the exploit from working. People noticed the folder and deleted it because they thought it was being created by an attacker, so Microsoft had to tell people not to delete it.

          Wow, so my decision to switch my machines over to Linux by win10 EOL really isn’t overkill.
