Even setting aside that AI is bullshit, I do wish Microsoft (and Apple tbh) would realise the ideal "OS experience" is to launch software and get out of the way. If they think an "agentic AI researcher" would be useful, fine, stick it in the Microsoft Store for $30 and see if the market agrees.
Microsoft is turning Windows 11 into an "agentic OS." It's starting with AI agents on the taskbar, as well as some underlying changes to the Windows platform. Microsoft is betting on these changes for the future of Windows. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/821948/...

On Tuesday, Keir Starmer said he was concerned that racism was returning to British politics.
This morning, his Home Secretary is loudly letting the world know that the government intends to make the lives worse of even those found to be genuine refugees.

Obviously this is ghoulish pseudo-technological nonsense and it's objectively a good thing that it can never actually exist, but still somehow the most unrealistic thing in this ad is that it shows the service this company offers continuing, functionality unchanged, for decades

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.
