“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.”

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.

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.

He's been saying this for about 2 years now. This cusp is lasting a really long time.

Why would you ever want to talk to your computer beyond the obvious "oh for fucksake, now what" and "shit, that shouldn't happen"?

I already have a computer I can talk to. I call it a useless sack of shit every day.

And I would like MS to fuck off. I’ll even ask nicely.
