Windows president says platform is "evolving into an agentic OS," gets cooked in the replies — "Straight up, nobody wants this"

Is AI the Future of OS

What do you mean it turned your consumption of content into a more efficient experience? I need explanations. Isn't consumption a passive thing, like you are watching a movie? What is the goal here and what is your workflow?
I think he means, as an example of consumption: instead of sitting there watching a 1 hour youtube video getting a summary via Harpa AI of the important part of the information he was looking for. He doesn't mean spoiling a movie instead of watching it.

I unapologetically love it. I already use agentic tools and it has turned my consumption of content into a deeper more efficient experience like no other. An agentic OS would further complement my overarching experience.

With that said, I do have a serious issue with Microsoft in the future of an agentic experience. CoPilot is sometimes like the worst nanny ever due to its role and place in institutions, thus being overprotective against some content (which could lead to legal actions), often blocking processing legit content.

..Which is why I have removed CoPilot and moved onto testing agentic tools like Harpa AI / Sider AI.

You really do have to expand on what you actually mean by "my consumption of content into a deeper more efficient experience like no other". Because currently, without context. You come across as an incredibly stupid person.

Maybe they're talking about like in the late 90s with "internet wil be the main thing", and launched Me/2000

...that didn't turn out good thou
 
Idk, AI everything seems almost inevitable at this point. Not only are all the big corporations betting everything on it, the govt is too.

Almost all new investment money is going into ai, hardware, data centers, and everything that goes with it.

They aren't gonna let it fail and its gonna go EVERYWHERE. The economy depends on it succeeding in a big way.

I dunno. For learning, I'll watch and make notes and do. Having an AI summary doesn't help me.
 
Dave's Garage actually laid out exactly what would bring me back to Windows. It's obvious he's still invested, he helped write the kernel after all. His video was very insightful and almost made me install W11 just because I admire Dave so much. I didn't end up doing it, but man I hope someone listens to him. Sounds awesome.
Who's Dave? Does How would anyone like him get you excited about windows 11 and what does he have to do with it?
 
But seriously, I'm genuinely interested in what you use it for and how! Please explain here.
He won't because he probably had gpt write his initial message and even he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

"Efficiently consuming content with the use of ai" is one of the most naueseating things I've read in a while.





It all gets turned off by me because I assume it will impact my fps.

Did AI write this, lol. Sounds like NeoGAF is one of those sources of efficient content consumption.

Is ChatGPT in the room with us? 😉

Try NotebookLM. It's the best learning resource I have seen and tried and it's (mostly) free.

It lets you compile your sources (and find more) and then build your queries against those sources only. That can include long papers, YouTube, web pages, etc.

Then you can build flash cards, create podcasts, do mind maps, study guides and a lot more. It's awesome and possibly my favorite Google product of all times.




To be fair this is mostly Enterprise targeted. Since Corpos are pushing for AI everywhere all the time in their employees and MS obliges.

Thing is what MS is also pushing on Enterprise side is governance, discoverability and security. They had a whole lot of that just announced at Ignite.

Anyways, life personal PC there should be a way to disable all of this crud.

I do admit some of the MS new support for local offline models is pretty cool though.
 
The problem is that AGI/ASI would defeat the purpose of an OS and even the person operating that OS hence the pushback. There would be no real need for "Windows" anymore. The people who use an OS want an OS that doesn't spy on them teaching these models to replace them. The old fashioned people just want a machine they operate to perform tasks themselves.
I disagree.

Even with AGI/ASI around people would still use tech resources and therefore you would need an interface to interact with them that would use both voice and graphics. All this shit is transitional but beyond this stage lies its true potential. We've seen glimpses of how this could be in movies, games and books.

I understand why a lot of people reject the idea of training AI models that will eventually replace them and in a lot of ways it is just resistance to change, just like any other revolutionary tech that has been part of humanity in the past and changes things radically... Only this time the potential it has goes beyond anything we have seen before.

Visual and voice communication would be needed but I think local hardware, an OS in particular "windows" and most productivity applications would become pointless if AGI and especially ASI take over. I mean why would you need a window to launch different applications like showing you excel if you can just ask your assistant (who is more clever than you if ASI) to perform the tasks and just show you the relevant info through a display? You wouldnt need to navigate an OS to perform tasks at all because it would be doing it and just displaying information that you might not even need anymore. The single display app or browser could show you things from the cloud and be just as competent as the local "OS". Then you've got to ask what is an OS anymore, I wouldn't need file management and folders, I wouldn't need to be presented a list of applications to launch, I wouldn't click on a gmail or outlook icon to show me a list of emails, I wouldn't need a calendar if the ASI is my personal assistant I simply talk to. What tasks would I be performing in the OS UI myself? That's the whole point I believe, I would be giving up agency to the "agent" and not need to perform tasks myself. Some even tried AI interfaces without a screen in the past with the Humane Ai Pin but this is before AGI/ASI. Wear some Google Glass like device and just ask it to do everything/show things without you needing to actually perform anything in what you would consider an "OS" UI today. You wouldn't need to operate anything if it's agentic. It would all just be data accessed and consumed on the cloud and no actual tasks to perform in a UI.
