- In this video I bring up the topic of where one possible future of operating systems lie based on recent announcements a few days ago from Meta, and the direction the tech giants are taking the industry.
We should be asking some very pointed questions...

Meta is an ad company, not an AI company. I don't want their AGI as an intrusive means to serve me personalized ads.
Do I trust these companies to do the right thing? No, I don't. The way how the transition from desktop to smartphone for the use of many applications or tools necessary or required to manage daily life (bank account, etc ....) was forced on me (and everybody else) without giving me a realistic choice or alternative has already taught me not to trust them.
the negative consequence of the bigger picture is greater than anything seen before from the short term positive gains.
Add to that the fact that contrary to common perception, computers have not increased productivity at all. As Robert Solow stated already back in 1987: "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics." Nothing changed since then which is precisely why Toyota already removed all robots from one of its factories since human workers are simply more efficient because they can adapt to changes much easier than reprogramming a bunch of dumb robots. And no, there is no such thing as "AI" so basically, all robots are dumb and will remain dumb for the foreseeable future.
But we were given no choice.
@@esphilee You always have a choice but most people usually take the easy path and do not think about what that implies.
To just name one example of countless choices we all make:
Nobody forces you to use any kind of social media, certainly not on your phone. You can still buy mobile phones that are just that: mobile phones to use as a phone and send an sms if needed but how many people actually do that? Most want something more "cool" like some sort of messenger app or an app to help them find their work and then their home again every day even if they know how these things spy on you.
It's convenient to say "I was not given any chance" when in reality, you chose the seemingly convenient way and thereby chose comfort for privacy.
@@PEdulis , unfortunately in country like Norway, your life become very inconvenient without your smartphone. It forced you to use the app from banks, parking. Without app, you can’t pay for your parking.
Bad news for Adobe Photoshop and any third-party software maker. Super OS with 150 self-assembling tools don't really need an app store at all (make me a temporary app for that task and tell when ready).
Apple would be first to make that, they are always trying to replace others software with their own analogies.
Open source will survive on basis of security and privacy with its own small ecosystem.
Ultimately, we all still have enough free will to not "suckle at the teat" of evil corporations and Open Source gives us the ability to remain independent of the sheeple that really don't care about their own privacy.
I recognise that there are many great benefits to AI, as long as it is used to enhance human studies and research, rather than replacing it. In my day job it would be very easy for me to get ChatGPT to write my documents or the occasional shell script or Python program but I refuse to do it - because keeping my brain active is far more important than just being lazy and submitting to AI to do my thinking for me.
If that makes me a "dinosaur" in the eyes of others, so be it.
@@terrydaktyllus1320I looked on that from a software market perspective, many don't realise that it's death for many companies in some future depending only on the speed of progress. Maybe Adobe knows this but hiding and trying to raise it's value so somebody would acquire them into a bigger conglomerate until bankruptcy, but no one would need them, their software and their photo bank they're trying to collect today - if all that could make some Ai assistant in the desktop OS core.
Situation with games creation are harder but what's the finish line for Unreal engine, Unity self sabotaged itself. With games it's also heading to some universal engine which can do everything and almost real. Last year showing that many companies forgot how to make games, Bethesda is the historical flop with releasing if I'm correct a 20-years in making Starfield which ruined their reputation forever.
thanks for communism-style censorship Gogle Ai! (on what nonsense they trained you?) It deleted not just reply to my comment, but also my reply to his reply containing only grim software market perspectives analysis. What really allowed to discuss here? Are they want brainless comments like on reddit where critics are punished by rating system? This is impossible here with so many videos, all viewers by default critical to everything here value their time spending.
@@fontende Unfortunately, as one of the "good guys" in cyber-security, when I talk about such topics in technical channels, the Google algorithm gets all "uppity" about me using language like one of the "bad guys" and ends up deleting it.
Occasionally I change a few words and that gets past their censorship, but a lot of the time I can't be bothered trying to work around it.
@@terrydaktyllus1320no, it's now more advanced that just words filter, it's judging by context and goes completely off the rails on all channels i'm registering, they created a monstrous system
In a world ruled by morality and logic, yes, this path towards AGI would be carefully considered and potentially avoided if the majority decided that it wasn't worth the risks. Unfortunately, that is not the world that we live in. The companies who are driving the development of AGI are already convinced that it is necessary, and they are mostly headquartered in the US, a country whose government has little to no desire, motivation, or even capability for regulation or control of these developments. There will be no discussion, no thoughtful choice of the correct path. It will happen.
Honestly, I'm personally not even against AGI, but it is frustrating that there's not even a decision involved. It's just coming whether we like it or not.
And it doesn't help that the current climate in the US isn't favorable to bipartisan institutions to discuss and do anything about it with the law and will of gov. on their side.
Unfortunately I think it's going to be the downfall of the US's long standing fascination with new tech and endless need to be a leader in it regardless of its effects on its own population.
Relax. There is no such thing as AI and there will not be for a very, very long time if ever at all. See my other comment if you want to read why.
Great video! Just one small detail, the camera is more focused on the displays behind you than on yourself.
When Zuck can't even get his audio right. This is the guy that'll build the best AI? One of the least trustworthy (and that's a low bar) in the tech sector. No thanks.
what a creepy dude that zuk
Sir please make something on android with its security features
I just realized, even with installing random APKs I found online, I've never once gotten a virus on an Android phone.
Least not that I know of... unless you include Google Services as malware, of course.
@@trajectoryunown Yeah, but you can. Even the Play Store contains malware apps. Google regularly takes down some of them... 1.43 million of them in 2022.
Windows is turning into a bot with AI integration while bots are what every online site is trying to get rid of with bot protection 😂 If the OS eventually becomes just AI you interact with how will they distinguish real interactions from fake ones
They won't be able to, is the simple answer. Look how prevalent "deep fakes" are now when it comes to spam video garbage brainwashing the sheeple.
I guess one big advantage that Windows and Mac users have is that the moment they use either of those systems then they needn't worry about their privacy any more - just keep suckling on those fat corporate teats and worry not about anything else.
They won't and don't need to. As Mike Wooldridge said on Ai lecture human interaction will be expensive, they would pay for human produced data like for rare wine, of course today corpos trying to grab all they can for free without your consent. Mostly because human life is very short compared to machines but also Ai self generated content lacks the quality or something else (maybe life experiences).
Human interaction in the Internet are the most valuable, mostly because the effect of unlimited choices on mental level, people coming here started value their time even on clicks and very critical to justify on what to spend their precious life minutes (that's why people judging thumbnails so much, that's why everyone so toxic here - with critical there are reviewer there are labeling & rating). Internet changed brains, if corporates knew this a long time ago, why they're so quiet, almost no research about that social phenomena.
Ai is a multiplied version of hunting for your time, it's programmed to produce always eye-candy of everything, they almost resolved the uncanny valley paradox, first Ai people photos were tested on social groups.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Jeez out of all the comments I've seen you write. This is like the only good one haha
But seriously I only really watch Brodie Robertson and DJ Ware when it comes to Linux related content, and I haven't seen you comment in awhile. Glad you're doing okay
Edit: also I think UA-cam muted your comment lol maybe that's why I haven't seen you much haha
@KoopstaKlicca without even having read his comment, I know exactly what you mean 😂
Also, dope username! Been a while since I've seen HCP referenced.
@@HyphyHippo "without even having read his comment, I know exactly what you mean"
Excellent, I'm glad that you've made a new and special Internet friend today. Do I get an introduction fee?
"😂"
I stopped painting little faces around words that I write when I got to age seven and first learned joined up writing. Just saying.
"Also, dope username!"
"Dope" is a noun, not an adjective - it's usually a slang word for drugs.
It's called an "education", feel free to try one yourself.
It's the most sensible thing I've ever heard about AI so far. Thank you buddy.
No it's not, it is just the same fearmongering about "AI taking over and do I want that?" as all the rest of the people who jump on the "AI" band wagon while there is no such thing as "AI", just stupid machine learning without any chance of ever evolving into anything sentient, at least not in the foreseeable future.
I fear less the hypothetical reality of rogue AIs and moreso the actual reality of multinational corporations controlling them.
Do you have any input on how to make sure a used computer is free from firmware related malware. Anything that might survive an operating system reinstall?
Since there are backdoors for the NSA and others directly in hardware, in the chips on your computer, phone, whatever, there is no need for any malware to be installed, it is all included in the silicon running the software. Unless you might use something like Huawei which might include spyware for Chinese agencies but so far, "The Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre" which is based in London and focusses on scrutinizing Huawei's source code to find any spyware has not found anything. I cannot tell if they contain any backdoors in silicon but in my view, the reason why Western countries warn against using Huawei and other Asian brands is NOT because they fear someone else might spy on you but because they cannot spy on you themselves.
First, so-called AI is not Inelegance at all. It depends on data somebody feed. Yes, it's dangerous, but as a tool of mind manipulation. The main question is Who going to use this tool to manipulate and rule us? And where are they going to lead us?
Sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
I don't share your fears, but AI is dependent on humans feeding it with facts.
@@rursus8354 He probably meant something similar to China's social credit score system where the government tracks everything with Ai. The population is manipulated into thinking this is normal. And have no clue they are slaves.
Why can't you just accept that? - Skynet, Terminator Genisys
At the risk of sounding pretentious, I would say that DJWare is introducing the topic to me much in a way kids learning the basic tastes, with the zuck representing the taste bitter? Love your videos and I thank you for that, sir.
I just want an AI gf but other than that i want a computer that turns on and off, and can run the programs i have installed. I'm not even necessarily scared of what ai could become. I just want a simple computer that works. I can't even imagine what i would want AI to do lol I don't need a clock that matches my circadian rhythm or can figure out stuff. I want to be able to open apps and thats it
The more forward we look with technology the father back we go for the basis of innovation; seems like the structure of the old mainframes is important for the throughput required for the processing demands of an AI to function. My dad would have a cow that an Unisys A Series can be run on a SD card... What's the current version of ALGOL and COBOL?
Eventually it's only response will be " I'm sorry. < name> , I'm afraid I can't do that." I know ai isn't sentient but humanity is even scarier in its intent so think of that algorithm
I don't think it's in our best interest to make ourselves obsolete
I'm not touching any of this until I can run local inferencing of everything. Period. Cloud means "other people's computers" and "free" means "payed for with user data".
In the movie, The Matrix, the agent bloke called humans a "virus". Is A.I. a new form of computer virus that's a good virus to have? Thanks. :)
AI is a boondoggle. Realistically it solves none of the problems I have. Am I that much of an outlier?
Same. They market it as unlocking your potential and even companionship, while throwing out the fact humans evolved by overcoming difficulty.
They're presenting this as an all or nothing, and that things will figure themselves out later.
People still need some difficulty and occasional boredom, because that's when we think and develop. Otherwise we're overstimulated, and amusing ourselves to death * cough * .
Work also is an opportunity to connect with other people, and feel needed by providing the community with services.
It is not up to the public. That ship is sailed. It is a weapon and prison system that will be sold as helpful technology. I'm less concerned about self aware AI because fail safes would be implemented at every level. If disaster happened it would be because it was an inside job. Long term who knows.
They cater to the general public. Can't beat the common case. This is the battle that's been lost before it started
Do I want an AI powered robot that fallows me around and tends to all of my needs? yeah actually, as long as its not sending all my data off somewhere, and as long as it's open source.
I don't think you can possibly control AI with safeguards. And I trust AI more than people.
I want A.G.I. to prompt me. Not the other way 'round. And when I really "need" to be prompted. That's not much to ask, is it? 🤔😸
i just need my OS to run hardware and host software.
How many times a week do you need to water carrots? I think it's time to go off grid :)
If you want to look into that seriously, read about "food forests" since they require the least maintenance while offering food - but they take years to grow into what you want them to be. But do not start them for fear of "AI" since that will not ruin your life except possibly for the excessive use of energy that it wastes.
@@PEdulis lol I'm not afraid of AI, it's just that entire IT industry became boringly stupid since AI came about. Everything is AI, even mh answer to you is AI now .. just not a place i feel like working / spending time at anymore
@@PEdulis oh yes, i am about to start a garden though so thanks for the tip :)
@@nir8924 you're most welcome, I hope it will work out well for you!
@@nir8924 Great to hear. I'm a computer scientist myself and worked for a while in so-called "AI" but got bored since it is always the same "promise"/fearmongering that never comes true anyway, so I rather work in more interesting fields now. Every few years, there is a new tiny "high" that they celebrate and claim "but this time, we are close, really!" I just can't hear it any more...
I'm just hoping this gamble FB is making will be as fruitful as the Metaverse.
Either way, no one asked for AGI, really, except maybe for fools.
As AI does more things, the less humans would have to think/do, and with our brains being like muscles, they can atrophie.
AI can provide in theory all the entertainment and companionship a user could want, by themselves.
It's an extension of what phone apps and social media has already successfully done: separating people from what they don't want and creating communities of people that share the same opinion on everything.
AI is: 1. too CPU intense, 2. clearly not performing as good as it is hyped. I think ChatGPT will fall victim to the market bubble death this year, and Meta, MicroSoft, Google etc. will deny that they ever intended GPT-this-or-that to take over our OS:es. I have tested ChatGPT for a while now, and I'm really underwhelmed. I don't believe in your projections. Next New Year we will wait another 10 years for the superfantastic AGI to occur.
Operating systems have come a long way from BIOS/BDOS
A BIOS is not an operating system. It's a piece of firmware to initialise enough hardware for the system to boot and the real OS to take over. A modern OS like Linux (and that other privacy-hating proprietary crap) still needs a BIOS or UEFI to boot on a PC - on a single board computer like a Raspberry Pi, another custom boot loader is used when the SBC itself has no BIOS or UEFI firmware.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I think CP/M might disagree with you on this one. "The BIOS and BDOS were memory-resident, while the CCP was memory-resident unless overwritten by an application, in which case it was automatically reloaded after the application finished running."
@@esra_erimez None of that changes anything about the difference between a BIOS and an OS.
Once again, I repeat (for the last time) - the job of the BIOS is simply to initialise enough hardware to boot the system such that (on modern OSes) a kernel loads that then takes over and initialises ALL of the hardware to make it available to the user.
The BIOS has no need to initialise, for example, your USB printer or gamepad when you turn the PC on because neither of those devices are needed to boot the machne - the OS kernel, however, will do so.
Memory residency has NOTHING to do with any of it.
if you have no clue, just throw money and hardware at it, that'll solve it, lol.
still cant get a email service/client that can do something useful, like turning bills into calendar tasks, for example
AMD's MI300 are better H100 in termeof compute power, cost, energy efficiency. AMD's software is still lacking though
There is no such thing as "morals" or "values". Just "opinion" and "prejudice" and humanity would be better off without them.
Trusting Facebook or some of the other big tech companies with AI? You can't be serious. I thought that's what Linux was for. Linux Mint or Arch or Gentoo or NixOS and a number of others have shown themselves to be much more trustworthy than the sneaky tech giants. If an improved chatbot can take a Linux distribution and associated software and find and fix all the bugs and add any features you might want then who needs Windows or MacOS?
AI-> artificial intelligence
Zuckerberg-> artificial look
Skynet.
If we delay the technology development in this field China, Russia and others will take the lead. I prefer OpenAI and other western companies.
Err no thanks. But, how can I protect myself? Either, I pull the wire and I am not sure if that is the ethernet wire or the power wire, or I accept whatever decision the vast majority of computer illiterate people make. Pulling the plug does not protect me in any case. There are a few people (and even a million people is a few) who might understand the dangers and many of those who will make money from it do not care. It is a mess. I honestly do not think living in a cabin in the woods as a hermit is a safe solution.
Sorry Zuck, neither you nor your company is qualified to accomplish such project. All you are good is marketing. Stick to that...
□°It IS Already WAAAY TOOOOO LATE!!○°•nevertheless... have a safe and prosperous new year 2024 ..hopefully.☆♡•😮😂❤
No thanks to Silicon Valley.
I'm afraid of AI too, imagine a working AI system with the IQ of a Trump Supporter.
This video had nothing to do with politics. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing.
Don't hold yourself, tell em the truth "with the IQ of roughly a half of my fellow countrymen." How does that feel to live in a society where you despise every other individual? What an amazing land of the brave and the free, isn't it?
Wtf does Trump have to do with this video?
@@_avr314 "How does that feel to live in a society where you despise every other individual?"
Every other individual does not vote for Trump, do they? Presumably they are the ones with the higher IQs.
Didn't Trump himself say "I love the poorly educated".
@@lohroc1014 It's a case of "orange man good" for you then, eh? Given you're getting a bit uppity about it.
You're not being inclusive. What about AI equality?
The moment i see FB, i am going to hit dislike.
