"We are on the cusp of the next AI evolution, in which we, the tech company, can simply say the word 'Money' to our AI, and it will automatically transfer money directly from our investors into our wallets. Future versions won't require us to say anything, permitting AIs to write their own next press release for budding, just-around-the-corner technology in an E-mail to investors."

They are like two to three years out from this being viable in the slightest. If they push this it will be hilariously disastrous.

I don't even talk to my cat, I can mute for a day. why would I talk to a clanking metals.

I don’t want to meet it.

I love the idea!

I absolutely despise it when it is locked down from the user, owned by the corporation that produced it, and operating as an arm of the surveillance state.

Even discounting the need for safeguards, sanity-checks, and verifiability of information.

Those monstrosities are not allowed in my home until I can remove the spyware operating system.

I thought home assistants already taught us that designated buttons and switches are simply faster and more reliable than voice control?

ironically im sorta hoping to see this with linux were even installation uses a small local chatbot that guides the installation and then the os is chatbot centric where one of the things you do as you use is allow it to use additional resources to get more capability.

Yikes.

I am already uncomfortable when my mom talks with her phone to search Google. But hey, she is 83 years old and her health is declining. Maybe she does not need so much privacy any more.

But here is a sad story: I have two friends, a couple. Both are automation engineers. They could not have kids, which was their life dream. So instead, they re-purposed their energy and built their dream house. A beautiful house. And, of course, with a lot of automation and logic programmed by them. Shutters which open in the morning and close when it is stormy. A shower which plays the right morning radio program. Extra settings for when parents-in-law visit.

But what makes me uncomfortable is voice control by speech recognition. All that cortana/siri stuff. For everything, even switching on the light. I don't like that when I visit people. For me, it is like somebody is always listening, even to stuff that is meant only for my friends ears.

I have not told them, but I don't like that house.

Isn't there a version of win11 like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?

Gotta get that. All stripped, just the OS and security.
