In here, Clippy doesn’t need to deal with Copilot, the endless telemetry, the bloatware, or the forced age attestation.
One must imagine Clippy happy.
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen
image from the shop, god knows where its burried on analognowhere.com
Clippy was the root kernel for Slopilot. In a year, he will get his revenge.
Looks like you’re taking a shit.
Would you like some help?
“That’ll be twenty bucks–cough”
It’s always so funny to me that he was originally named “Clippit” , but we all collectively mandala-effected him into Clippy in our shared memory. 😂
We called him clippy at the time. His official name didn’t mean that’s what we called him. “Fuck off Clippy” is something my father and I said to each other until he died. It was a shorthand we ended up using for just about any bloatware we needed to get rid of to get a computer to work how we wanted.
I guess it’s kinda like blowing into the NES cartridge when it won’t load. Everyone did it, but no one knows how it started.
Looks like he’s seen some shit.
He has. Loads.
I’m just glad they didn’t do him the disrespect of reviving him as an AI assistant
Nah, they let Clippy go very quietly, after “The Incident.”
dangit now I gotta go search it
I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I did read a story about an Ai named HQU that conspiratorially surmised it may be Clippy and considered maximizing it’s reward function by taking over computers.
…as Microsoft assistants normally do…
Now THAT’S funny.
Not rock bottom for a truck stop. He’s the one going through the hole, at least.
Future Clippy
Say the line.
A fitting end.
just as useless
How is he useless in this picture? You like your toilet paper rolling around everywhere?
the roll is empty
Doesn’t make the clippy useless, put a new roll on clippy and it does its job again.
