Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.

How to make game go on Lunix

linux should add an ai agent that does nothing except return ascii cats

It’s unlikely but I’m hoping my company switches to Linux based operating systems.

google has a spying app(you will have to delete occasionally) on any android phones if your using google in any manner.

Get that POS off my computer.

Quick! I need a guide on how to disable this.

Looks like this isn't ripe for abuse in any way.... ~~sarcasm~~

You just know MS is going to find a way to abuse this 'feature' to change people's settings behind their backs in any way they see fit.

This reeks of the type of malware that used to take complete control of your PC and change settings maliciously, and even delete important files or straight-up nuke your OS install in the worst-case scenario, but made 'legitimate' somehow. Yes, MS is really stooping that low to make one of the worst types of malware an actual OS feature.

Oh no you don't

Glad to be using Linux on all my computers

Surely there would be no way scammers or hackers would take advantage of this with some crafty prompts that somehow get feed into the agent...

Or just make settings that aren't total dumb bullshit for which you need Ai to find anything.

This is the TYPICAL AI use case :

• have situation that's not perfect, but works fine and is understandable (old control panel and some hidden settings)
• improve on the old control panel, create subsections that makes sense, make it searchable, everyone is happy
• someone decides that "control panel" and "old looking UI" have to go, create a cluster-a-doodle-fuck of a garbage mess labeled "Settings", put only half the old settings in there, and half the time conflicts with other well-established ways to do things
• keep pushing the new thing despite it being so horrendous a kitten litter dies every time it is used
• pretend "there is a problem with settings, but we can solve it with AI"
• ???
• nothing, whatever, definitely not profit

It seems that people keep forgetting we just, did stuff. Changing most system settings wasn't an incomprehensible chore reserved to the most elite of people. And changing the fringe ultra rare and hard to find setting only happened with half-decent competent people. No need to throw AI at that… unless you dismantle everything that works before, of course.

I swear, it's not long ago that people were touting that we could finally have decent microtransactions in games thanks to blockchain, despite microtransactions being a very lucrative thing for decades before. And don't get me started on people saying "but it's the only way artists can get paid".

As a collective, humanity is dumb.

MS never finished porting Control Panel, now they think AI will help?

Easy way to automatically set settings that are convenient for them and disguise it as AI being AI

I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.

And here we are.

I'll tell my AI agent to go into the registry and disable itself.
