“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
Tip for any future product designers: Just because it looks cool in a movie, doesn’t mean it’ll translate well into reality as a useful product.
I am currently a product designer and I approve this message.
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”
My penguin doesn’t listen to what Microsoft wants.
I don’t want a fucking experience I just want a computer that works you stupid capitalist fuckhead.
I don’t even talk to my cat, I can mute for a day. why would I talk to a clanking metals.
Yes, I do honestly want a computer I can command with my voice. One that understands my needs and the context of the things I say.
However…
- That PC should not be tethered to the cloud. It must be capable of doing all that on its own.
- It should not fold me into some subscription model to some corporate entity.
- It should be open source and under my control, not opaque and subject to the whims of a corporate entity.
- No, it doesn’t have to be FOSS. I would pay for it, once. It just needs to be OSS.
I see no legitimate reason to let ANY AI have full access to my computer. It’s just unnecessary.
If I need to ask an AI to proofread something, or I need help sorting through a programming error. I’ll go to its website and ask it.
There is no reason (for me) to let it sit there chilling on my computer 24-7 doing good knows what.
ALL your data is belong to me.
ai is the 3d movies of this age.
Nah, it’s worse.
the comparison’s not meant to compare their qualities, but the push to include it in everything by various industries when no one really wants it.
Yessss I was just saying that to a friend. Its starting to really feel like we’re gonna be looking back in a few years laughing at it as a trend. Time will tell!
Does anyone still know anyone with a 3D TV?
My uncle bought a $2,000 one but the cheap fuck only ever bought 1 pair of glasses.
Never got to see it in action.
My dad bought one in probably 2006 or something but it died in 2020.
Visio had a good tv during that time.
Was the 3D part ever used? That’s a big “fuck-nah,” but it’s always been that.
I already have a computer I can talk to. I call it a useless sack of shit every day.
Why would you ever want to talk to your computer beyond the obvious “oh for fucksake, now what” and “shit, that shouldn’t happen”?
Switch to linux, use open source AI. It’s better and private.
Oh look it’s Cortana 2
And I would like MS to fuck off. I’ll even ask nicely.
If a tech executive says we’re on the cusp of a technology breakthrough it means less than nothing and we should be more suspicious of it than already. These are people who don’t know how to manage an organization based on the frequent layoffs (2009, 2014, 2023-2025 over 20k workers). People get fired because they fuck up, management layoff people because management fucked up.
