“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
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.
