    My blood pressure rises everytime i use Enterprise Copilot at work. It seems they truncate message history heavily (to save input token costs?) and Copilot forgets the last thing you told it in the chat. It is like a real-life version of Momento (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt0209144&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt0209144&#x2F;) mixed with Waiting for Gadot (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Waiting_for_Godot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Waiting_for_Godot), pretending to be in league with Anthropic.

      It&#x27;s so bad. I&#x27;m cool with paying for good products but it&#x27;s offensively bad.

        I can tolerate Teams being a bit mid because the core functionality nearly always works. I can tolerate Outlook being meh because it&#x27;s doing a lot (nothing I, a lowly IC really need though I can imagine the top hatted boss who does) and I think it does okay with the scope it&#x27;s tackling.

        But the M365 copilot app is inexcusable for being as core to Microslop&#x27;s strategy.
