Mustafa Suleyman had his mind blown by the community's negative reaction to Microsoft's "agentic OS" comments.

    I mean, don’t you want a rando at Microsoft to know your heart rate at midnight to identify what sort of scary dream you’re having? Its totally not Portographic. Definitely not Pornographic either.

    I’m very impressed by AI but, as someone who grew up with technology I don’t want it outside of a strictly fenced area. I don’t want it reading my emails, documents, code, and spreadsheets. I don’t want that eye over my shoulder that phones home whenever it wants and consumes a huge amount of my system resources.

    Very impressed, very don’t want it on someone else’s terms.

      I also want it local only because I don’t want X company monitoring my queries, nor to be dependent on yet another cloud based service that can be enshittified at any moment.

          Since you can actually run an LLM or a image generation model on midrange GPUs (more VRAM helps, but for my application the 8GB i have work out), i’d say in the current state of affairs its actually pretty robust against enshittification - they don’t even have figured out yet how to stop it to do things they dont want it to do in a guaranteed way. Noone can delete the .GGUF files from my hard drive, and storage is cheap - i own them just like i own my MP3 collection. And that’s the way it should be for far more things.

    Well maybe A: stop forcing it down everyone’s throats, and B: make it less shit.

    Well he is a C-level exec so I’m sure a lot of stuff ‘puzzles’ him.

    AI is quite impressive… if it’s used PROPERLY. Your ass is literally fucking injecting it into EVERYTHING just so you and your shareholders get more money from rubes. I don’t want AI on my operating system. I want it to make stuff like enemies in videogames smarter, or to find out cancer cells, or anything of that sort. Hell, I don’t think you even need LLMs for that!

      And it’s bubble money.

      As soon as it’s properly evaluated, showing it’s “what are you as an asset” value, it’ll crash and financially recorrect to its true value. Which is still substantial, but much, much, much lower than what it is currently played as.

    Oh, I bet he’s puzzled about lots of things. In fairness though, with him as CEO I can sort of see why Microsoft might want to replace their humans with a jumped-up Markov Chain.

    Reminds me of this - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-the-business-idiot/

    To be clear, I am deeply unconvinced that Nadella actually runs his life in this way, but if he does, Microsoft’s board should fire him immediately.

    Nadella drove a massive push to cloud which temporarily averted the inevitable slowing of Microsoft’s growth (“look, cloud line go up” while windows and office pulled the overall steadily down) but has had several significant misses since. Remember HoloLens?
