I vibe-coded a new app called WolfGPT

you can ask it for advice like any LLM, but it usually just says some variation on "roll around in the grass and let your friends sniff you", which is still healthier than talking to ChatGPT

no, your Microsoft Copilot Vision-Enabled AI PC is not your friend. if your computer starts trying to be your friend, refer to this comic from 2009: www.gunnerkrigg.com?p=661

"We want our customers to form parasocial relationships with our products."

"not just a tool but a partner" jesus fucking christ, man

“We want every person making the move to experience what it means to have a PC that’s not just a tool, but a true partner,” says Mehdi.

"We know none of this shit works, but it might, eventually. Trust us. We're totally not delusional."

“In the beginning you might see the agent make some mistakes, or encounter some challenges when trying to use some really complex applications,” explains Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences. An AI agent making mistakes using a computer doesn’t fill me with confidence, which is probably why Microsoft is limiting this to Copilot Labs for now. “We’re absolutely committed to learning from how people use it, and we want to continue to improve the experience to make it more capable and streamlined over time,” says Virk.

"We want to help your doctor violate your privacy as efficiently as possible."

“Doctors are taking transcriptions while they’re performing examinations, people use it for searching, and our work with the accessibility community has taught us a lot about how to make voice access and voice typing really valuable,” says Mehdi.

"We're so fucking delusional that we think people actually enjoy Microsoft Teams meetings."

“All the data that we see is when people use voice, they love it,” says Mehdi. Some of that data is the billions of minutes that people spend talking in Microsoft Teams meetings. “They’re talking through their computers today, and I think this change to ‘talk with and talk to’ will come to reality and we’ll see this thing really take off,” says Mehdi.

"We're fucking delusional."

“In our minds, voice will now become the third input mechanism to use with your PC,” says Mehdi. “It doesn’t replace the keyboard and mouse necessarily, but it’s an added thing and it will be pretty profound and a new way to do it.”

"We are vampires that feed on your privacy. Give us more data."

“You should be able to talk to your PC, have it understand you, and then be able to have magic happen from that,” says Mehdi. “With your permission, we want people to be able to share with their AI on Windows what they’re doing and what they’re seeing. The PC should be able to act on your behalf.”

"Supplying a (mostly) functional operating system, that (usually) does what the user wants it to, isn't making us enough money."

“The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

RUSTMUMMY @vikingwolfhimbo.bsky.social · 9h

"We want the process of using your computer every day to be just as frustrating as talking to a support chatbot, tacitly begging to speak to a real person every second of it"

“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,”

The Microsoft rep they interviewed is speaking in some arcane tech-bro dialect, so I'm going to help you all by translating all the pull quotes into English. Ready?

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it

Copilot Voice and Vision are now rolling out.

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

*cocks gun* rutland's haunted

A WPlace screenshot over Rutland, Vermont, featuring Toad (Mario) with cursed human legs, and a pentagram made of tiny amoguses, presumably for some sort of satanic imposter-related ritual. The poster for Princess Mononoke is nearby, but it's unclear whether its energy will be sufficient to dispel the evil. An African wild dog on the pentagram should probably flee somewhere safe while it can.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
