I’ve actually found the tool that inspires the most worry about brain atrophy to be Copilot. Vscode is full of flashing suggestions all over. A couple days ago, I wanted to write a very quick program, and it was basically impossible to write any of it without Copilot suggesting a whole series of ways to do what it thought I was doing. And it seems that MS wants this: the obvious control to turn it off is actually just “snooze.”

I found the setting and turned it off for real. Good riddance. I’ll use the hotkey on occasion.
