    I might be impressed if it wasn’t so fucking overhyped. It’s good at some stuff, it’s not very good at most of the other stuff. Stop shoving it down my throat.

    yeah… fuck MS and Windows. I’ve already prepared a Live USB with CachyOS and I’m going to install it on my PC this evening. My laptop is already running Linux Mint for a few months now.

    Edit: the installation is complete and was surprisingly easy and unproblematic. everything seems to work just fine up until now but I’m going to test it a bit more in depth over the next few days.

    I get where he’s coming from as a tech person… I’m old enough to remember chatting to ELIZA and Alicebot. The current state of AI is impressive to me, as well as “worrying” and “destroying the planet” and “being rammed down our throats” and all the other bad stuff.

    It’s wildly tone deaf of him to say it in the middle of a backlash, though. 😬

      Yea, but he’s (intentionally?) misrepresenting things… people are not “unimpressed” by AI, what they are is not interested in MS “agentic OS”, these are not the same things.

      It’s irresponsible to hand in control of your machine to an AI integrated that deeply into the OS, particularly when it’s designed to be tethered to the network and it’s privately owned and managed by human entrepreneurs that do have the company’s interests as first and main priority.

        I disagree strongly. Smart people who understand how it works, and the cost, are DEEPLY and profoundly unimpressed by it.

        I want to see it banned.

      Really? Seriously? It’s just a fake, every bit as much as ELIZA was – just with a vastly bigger set of responses it generates on the fly from a vast database of stolen material.

        Yes but it’s surprisingly convincing given how it actually works. It’s more impressive than useful, and it’s a huge waste of energy.

        If you’ve tried to build chatbots before, you’ll quickly understand how impressive LLMs are.

        We essentially solved the problem of a chatbot sounding human and having reasonably intelligent things to say by throwing insane amounts of hardware at it. This wasn’t possible before now really.

        The algorithms are impressive, but still naive compared to what people believe AI really should be.

        This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.

        This is just the best chatbot from the 90’s we’ve made so far.
