    That’s a bit weird. They didn’t get this worked up about being called “Micro$oft” or something. This is probably hitting the nerve in a completely different way!

      Microsoft has over 200k employees, and the people (person?) managing the discord are probably at the bottom of the totem pole. I doubt they put more than 5 seconds of thought into this.

    I loved the:

    Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.

    There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won’t ever die, and I think that’s good.

      It’s normal to just meet people where they are at on all the various platforms. As long as you can pipe everything back to customer data platform increasing scale through multiple social platforms has almost no downside and pretty minimal cost.

    Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn’t recommend Microsoft products that are either depreciated or don’t exist.

    It’s pretty embarrassing for you.

    Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn’t stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they’d be fired.

    Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

    Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?

    Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot

      Microsoft locked all the channels in that discord within the last few hours.

      Before that, every channel was Microslop nonstop. Apparently even giving them feedback (in the feedback channel) about the product is no longer allowed. Microsoft cannot handle the fact they dish out slop.
