Are you serious @royalsociety.org?? He is trying to destroy science, spreading dangerous misinformation, inciting violence & your response is to do nothing?
So what’s your purpose then? What do you exist for? Other than being elite?

I can't express loudly or clearly enough how much I DO NOT WANT AI Co-Pilot @microsoft.com
I like auto save.
I like word count.
I do not like AI co-pilot. I didn't even use the annoying talking paper clip back in the day.

After spending more than an hour on the phone with Microsoft Support, I have learned:
1. It is impossible to disable Copilot in OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint, or Windows itself.
2. It will not become possible to do so for another month AT THE EARLIEST.

Anyone know how to disable Copilot in OneNote? There's no tickybox for it in the "Options" page, I already turned off "online experiences" or whatever, and when I tried uninstalling the Copilot app, the only change seems to be that I no longer have an "uninstall" option on the Copilot app.

When Biden was president I'd happily sleep in until 7. Now look at me! And I've been tossing and turning since 3am. Trump causes insomnia.

I urge you to watch the clip of Mariann Budde asking Trump to show mercy, if you've not.
It's iconic footage that I think will live on for a long time.
The way she composes herself before starting, the reactions of Trump, Vance, their families – it's amazing stuff.

This is a very well reasoned and worded complaint. Predictably, the response makes no attempt to address what it says

Remember, if someone posts something you really like on here, re-post it, bc unlike the other place, there is no algorithm to boost likes. If we want to get folks' best thoughts seen and create a critical mass of engagement, sharing is key!
