“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
My penguins doesn’t listen to what Microsoft wants.
I don’t even talk to my cat, I can mute for a day. why would I talk to a clanking metals.
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”
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.
The vision of an AI PC, where it may or may not launch the app you tell it to, where one plus one may or may not be two, where deleting a file may delete the file you see, or a random different one.
Sounds great! /s
Imagine the cost of cloud AI on PCs. That only works too some degree for cloud data and being even more wasteful for the rest.
Every document you have, legal and medical, finance and personal, will all interface with the cloud. With numerous parties en route, visible and hidden, and a massive system you may or may not trust.
I don’t want a fucking experience I just want a computer that works you stupid capitalist fuckhead.
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.
Oh look it’s Cortana 2
Switch to linux, use open source AI. It’s better and private.
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.

Honestly, people are rightfully concerned about Microsoft locking down machines, and hackers, and rightfully so, but I think the real insanity is that I do really think LLMs is a tech bubble that I fully expect to burst, and attempting to redesign our lives around it will feel as silly as web3 in 2025.
"Open the browser. No, not explorer, Edge! Open Edge, god damn it! Go to CNN.com. why did you open another browser window? No, I don’t want to open another browser window. Open the news “Everything sucks and we are all going to die”. Why did you open Bing? Stop asking for confirmation for everything…
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.
