Yeah, so: Microsoft spent too much money on "AI" hype without any real robust use cases and before seeing what the public could or would actually do with it, and now, rather than admit they were very very wrong to do so, they're trying to LITERALLY manufacture consent via a whole new keyboard form factor.Which: Yikes.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/ai-comes-for-your-pcs-keyboard-as-microsoft-adds-dedicated-copilot-key/

@Wolven Yeah, that keyboard and requirement (seriously, wtf) are a hard no for me.

@Wolven I have a beautifully functional, ergonomic split keyboard from Logitec and ABSOLUTELY NO intention of buying a new keyboard for the dubious pleasure of enriching Microsoft even at second hand. I have no foreseeable need for a "Copilot" key for AI.

@Wolven it's really just a sign of how little an answer they have for what comes after Windows, as far as what people are willing to (or forced to!) give them money for.

@Wolven It’s spelled “AI” but it’s pronounced “:CueCat”

@Wolven remember those weird keyboards of the 90s where you would hit the spongey red key at the top and it would launch the internet....it feels like that.

@Wolven Hopefully this sort of thing iwll push people towards Linux based systems, sure we can integrate AI but that could be a specific distribution and the user has more chouce and more control over it. Rather than this being forced on users. MS should look what happened when System D was almost forced on people, People moved to System V distros or created forks that still used system v

@Wolven "If Copilot fizzles or is deemphasized the way Cortana was..." First thing to do with a new Windows installation is to switch off Cortana

@Loredo I feel like those are so rare, already, that that's not even going to be able to cover the rollout they're trying to do.

@Wolven "playsforsure" vibes anyone? I‘m so glad Apple is following a much more sensible approach to AI and is not riding the hype train. Privacy first, no new feature without a real usecase that benefits most users.

@Wolven But what else is there to do when you have a monopoly and aren't incentivised to innovate beyond maintianing said monopoly...
