This week was unusual, because both Apple and Microsoft chose the exact same day to release major updates to their desktop operating systems, with MacOS Sonoma and Windows 11 22H2 arriving. We take a deep dive into what’s new and exciting across both — as well as pondering on just who’s going to really benefit from Microsoft’s new Copilot AI.
Speaking of Copilot, as mentioned on this week’s show, Vertical Hold’s Alex Kidman also got into using Microsoft CoPilot for everything from image generation to song lyrics. You can judge their “quality” below…
Earth Song Verse 1:
Earth, you are the only home we know
You give us life and love, you make us grow
You show us wonders every day, from the mountains to the sea
You fill our hearts with joy and awe, you inspire us to be
Chorus:
Earth, you are so beautiful, we celebrate your grace
Earth, you are so wonderful, we cherish every place
Earth, you are so precious, we need to protect you
Earth, you are our mother, we thank you for all you do
Verse 2:
Earth, you have a history so rich
You have seen the stars and planets switch
You have witnessed life evolve, from the microbes to the trees
You have nurtured every soul, from the humans to the bees
Chorus:
Earth, you are so beautiful, we celebrate your grace
Earth, you are so wonderful, we cherish every place
Earth, you are so precious, we need to protect you
Earth, you are our mother, we thank you for all you do
Verse 3: Earth, you face a future so uncertain
You suffer from pollution and from warming
You need our help to heal, from the damage we have done.
That’s truly deep, right? It’s truly… something…
