azure is just as bad, if not worse

it's even better than that

"but it's fair use"

Rowling is known for actively protecting her rights as an author, they couldn't have picked a worse author to slop up

> Why is Microsoft endorsing the use of generative AI

ftfy

brb poking Rowling on twitter

(done, contacted her lawyers too)

make sure u worded it right or she'll block you

> And it's hard to imagine that the hardware costs don't come down quite a bit.

have you paid any attention to the hardware situation over the last year?

this week they've bought up the 2026 supply of disks

you are confusing the ntdll interface (which is undocumented and subject to change), and win32 (which is stable, mostly)

they tell you not to use ntdll, and say they will change it whenever they want

and they have in the past

(they have had to moderate this policy with "containers", but it's still what they say)

no matter what, the booster's answer to the tool being shit is always "you're holding it wrong"

My problem with this article is the author didn't really provide any advice on how to hold it better.

The AI note taker sounds genuinely useful but beyond that he never discusses the actual techniques that he used to go from 1 week to implement a side project to 1 day.

On the other hand, where does the expectation come from, that you can be just as effective at using a tool as someone who actively used it since GPT-3.5? An OpenCode instance loaded with the latest frontier model is, to quote a poet, a rocketship to nowhere - it's on you to steer it towards the results you want to achieve.

That's what's so disgusting here: it wasn't even about payment, it was about not having to attribute it to who created it. That's too much of a payment for MS, so they just take your stuff, run it through their white washing machine and call it a day.
