Skip the beginning marketing copy. There’s a lot of dev focused news
no-code effort
And we know that the no-code fad was very successful in the past.
With an infinite supply of shitty projects created by “devs” who can’t code, I’ll have a guaranteed job for ever. Thanks AI!
I bought my first keg with the cash made from un-fucking Dreamweaver output.
AI infused into every layer of Windows 11
That does not sound like a good thing
Nonsense human! Things worked out great in The Terminator. The Matrix. I, Robot, and on and on!
Please continue to consume and reproduce. From one fellow human to another!
These clowns can’t make all your settings in one place.
At least in the future copilot could navigate you to the settings in the different places 😅
I mean yeah, but also that’s the worst dystopian nightmare I’ve ever heard.
“How can I change my desktop background?” “There are four ways to change your desktop background, which would you like to hear more about?”
We are excited to extend the Microsoft Copilot stack to Windows with Windows Copilot Runtime. We have infused AI into every layer of Windows, including a fundamental transformation of the OS itself to enable developers to accelerate AI development on Windows.
Christ…
Me: Copilot, how do I disable all this crap?
Copilot: lol you can’t!
They are going to make windows usable so the AI can actually use it, not because humans had issues for years.
Rofl.So Copilot Runtime is… Windows bundling a bunch of models like an OCR model and an image generation model, and then giving your program an API to call them.
Now all they have to do is convince game developers to use this then it’s back to every AAA game being impossible to run in Linux again. Patching out a shitty driver subroutine is one thing but patching out an entire api that complicated is another. Net framework was the achilles heel of Linux compatibility for a long time and I’m sure one of their low-key goals is to find the next monkey wrench to throw into things.
I hate .NET with a passion
It shouldn’t be hard to implement the APIs, the problem would be sourcing the models to sit behind them. You can’t just steal them off Windows or you will have Copyright Problems presumably. I guess you could try and train clones on Windows against the Windows model results?
The Windows integration will surely be awful for users. Windows 11 seems to be getting continuously messier, more convoluted, less focused, less accessible, less approachable, and less understandable. Adding AI and more online service integration won’t make those pain points better. It’ll make them worse.
The investments into technology and APIs like DirectML and “native” PyTorch will likely have a positive impact for developers making use of AI models.
Many of the other changes mentioned are unrelated to AI.
I supposed Dev Home is useful for big companies that need the setup, setting and workflow sharing, and the specialized features.
sudo seems like it could be a neat utility and addition. Git in File Explorer too - although it probably won’t be useful to me personally. (TortoiseGit is already a great shell/File Explorer integration.)
Btw, choco (and maybe even winget?) already has a gsudo tool, which implements sudo. It is super handy, and having a native version is definitely better, but before its available, I recommend gsudo.
