“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”
…yikes
ironically im sorta hoping to see this with linux were even installation uses a small local chatbot that guides the installation and then the os is chatbot centric where one of the things you do as you use is allow it to use additional resources to get more capability.
in a transparent and optional way it could be good. like even if just with controlling the screen with voice commands, like clicks this, open that. but only if it’s fully offline and easily auditable.
I mean online in the same way when you install today it will grab updates (so optional) and I don’t want all linux distros to be like this of course. I will be excited by what creative ways it can be used. I would be very annoyed if any linux distro were using a remote part of chat except for downloads. I doubt it would given how expensive it would be.
actually I could see it done online by omarchy. they have the money and the worldview for it
You people say this, but then MS ponders the release of a local-only Recall and everybody loses their shit…
that does not make it transparent, neither optional. and to clarify by optional I mean opt-in and no nagging
If you only interpret “transparent” as “open source”, then yeah, I agree.
If, however, you also consider “well documented” as “transparent”, then what exactly is the deal?
And it’s already going to be opt-in.
Technically, yes. what I really mean is that people can look at it and determine it does not want to fuck people over, but that probably can’t really be done practically without it being open source.
I don’t trust microsoft with having an accurate, honest documentation on something like this. but this reminded me of another aspect that even being open source does not really solve: what about changes in the future? I could be reading the docs or the source now, but I won’t even get to know when it updates.
I have my doubts about whether they’ll keep it that way
so in the end, the problem is really that its associated with microsoft. I have lost any trust in their words a long time ago.
People don’t trust Microsoft to honor their promises. Hmm, I wonder why… 🤔
Yeah, over shit that happened 30 years ago…
