What's up with all the spam lately?

Looks like the spam bots are back, isn't this the reason why Reddit moved away from allowing API access / third party access? The bots are back, and it all sucks.

Copilot Studio publishing regression: republish now creates a new agent submission instead of updating in place

Has anyone else noticed this in the last couple of months? When I republish a Copilot Studio agent and go to approve it in the M365 admin center, it now shows up as a brand new agent submission instead of an update to the existing approved agent.

​

Previously, the approval flow recognized that the agent already existed in the tenant and presented it as an update. You would see language like "approve and update agent" and the existing entry would be updated in place. That behavior is gone. Now every republish lands in the Requests tab under Agents > All agents as if it has never been submitted before.

​

This is a real problem for anyone managing production agents at scale. You end up with duplicate entries, the old approved version still sitting in the store alongside whatever the new submission creates, and admins have to manually clean it up every time you push an update.

​

Microsoft's own docs say that content-only republishes should not require a new admin approval at all, which means the system should already know the agent exists. The fact that it doesn't suggests this is a regression, not a design choice.

​

Anyone else seeing this? Any workarounds beyond filing a support ticket and waiting?

I told Claude Code "surprise me" and it held a 1 hour talent show for itself

​

So I saw someone on here mention ultracode mode in Claude Code and thought, okay, let me try this. I had an empty folder, no project, nothing going on. I typed "I'm bored, surprise me, develop something, imagine something yourself and do it."

I expected maybe a quick game or a cool animation. What I got was an hour-long episode of AI Project Runway.

Here's what this thing did:

  1. It spun up EIGHT parallel AI agents to brainstorm concepts. They came back with five pitches: a slime mold forager simulation, a territory conquest game, a glass-cutting musical instrument, a "plant growth music generator" (still not entirely sure what that is), and a zen tidepool. You know, normal things you come up with when someone says they're bored.

  2. It then appointed THREE SEPARATE AI JUDGES to score each concept on delight, reliability, and novelty. They returned actual scorecards with decimal scores. Like a real panel. The slime mold won on average score.

  3. Claude Code looked at the judges' results, said "interesting" and then picked the THIRD PLACE option because it decided the judges were wrong. It wrote a whole paragraph explaining why the winning concept was too risky and the slime mold genre is "saturated." It literally held a vote and then overruled it.

  4. It then built an 800-line interactive HTML toy where you drag a glowing blade through floating glass crystals and they split apart with real polygon geometry, and each shard plays a musical note tuned to its size. Okay, I'll admit, that part is actually pretty cool.

  5. It ran 9,772 automated geometry verification tests to prove every polygon split was mathematically correct.

  6. It tried to open Chrome to visually verify the result. Chrome wasn't connected. Did it give up? No. It started a Node.js static file server, loaded the page through that, and checked it anyway.

  7. It then sent FOUR MORE AI reviewers to do an adversarial audit. They found 24 issues, including: "bullet-time sticks on if you alt-tab while holding Space," a phantom slice bug when your pointer leaves and re-enters the canvas, and my personal favorite: "hidden cursor vanishes when still" which it described as "the #1 feel-breaker."

  8. It fixed all 24 issues, re-ran the geometry tests (still 9,772 passing), re-verified in the browser, and then cleaned up after itself by finding and deleting a stray benchmark file that one of the concept agents had accidentally dropped during brainstorming.

Total time: over an hour. Agents used: eight brainstormers, three judges, one builder, four reviewers. All to cure my boredom.

The final product is actually genuinely impressive. It's a single 32 KB HTML file with real-time convex polygon splitting, FM synthesis audio, five color palettes, bullet-time, wind physics, and a reverb system built from a procedurally generated impulse response. An hour of AI labor, sixteen agents, nearly ten thousand tests, and four rounds of quality review to produce something smaller than a profile picture. And honestly? The code is clean. One person could have written it.

I'm not even mad. I just watched an AI spend an hour holding an elaborate creative competition against itself, overrule its own judges, and then quality-test its own work more thoroughly than most dev teams I've worked with. This is the most entertained I've been by a computer since I discovered Minesweeper.

10/10 would be bored again.

Suggested prompts gone from agents

Hey does anybody else notice with the new activity design that suggested prompts are now gone when you click on an agent, how are you supposed to bring up prompts for agents now? They removed the prompt gallery button, now they've removed it from being underneath the chat box so they seem to keep sacrificing suggested prompts for other aesthetic features.

M365 chat no longer showing suggested prompts.

I don't know if anybody else has gotten the new update in the last few days but suggested prompts are completely gone, there is no button anymore, there is no suggested prompts underneath the agent anymore, I think the problem is the new activity window or screen that shows up below the agent homepage on copilot chat. Does anybody else have this issue or see a way to get the prompts to show up again?

Microsoft loop knowledge source

First of all what happened to it, I remember seeing it several months ago but it's not there anymore, also why isn't this a knowledge source right off the bat like seriously does Microsoft even know what they're doing with this product, other than trying to copy notion? Sometimes I struggle to understand Microsoft's piss poor execution.
