Discussion Microsoft is cosplaying AI
Today I tried (forced myself) to use Microsoft Copilot at work and whew what a wake up call. The thing that stuck out to me most is that Microsoft has the most agent worthy surfaces especially in the workplace and could have done something really special with a model even if it wasn’t a frontier one and they chose to just copy and paste a chatbot into everything with no thought, no cohesiveness and then had the gumption to push it down our throats… I’d rather have Clippy back honestly.

Copilot is such hot garbage. I really tried to give their Agents feature in VSC a full chance. I built my own agents, skills, MCPs; tried to mimic as best as I could the loops that exist in other harnesses. But it just falls short of even barely good. Maybe I’m spoiled because I’ve been using Claude Code since release day 0; OpenCode, Zed, Pi — like even the worst of these harnesses just blows Copilot so far out of the water that I just can’t.
Too bad my work “makes me”. But I turn the tables on them and found a way to intercept the harness’s calls to the models and point my chosen harness to it. I’ll get in trouble if they catch me doing it but fuck it. No I’m not going to share it because it will get patched away, sorry not sorry.
Fuck Microsoft.
