    Meanwhile. Microslop will soon release windows 12. 90% of the computer in the world will need to be updated to barely run an ai booted os.

      The article that came out about Win12 was retracted for being completely fabricated, due to what appears to be a mistake in translation (possibly involving an AI translator) from German to English.

      I’m not defending Microslop in any shape or form, tbh I’m sure somehow they are gonna make Windows 12 even worse than 11. But yeah, the original info about Win12 was speculation that got lost in translation.

        As proud as we are, Lemmy isn’t immune from the misinformation epidemic. My experience is we just drive by, upvote, and internalize a headline’s claim without much skepticism, kind of like Reddit, and we largely don’t seem to want to do anything about it.

      What does AI-booted mean? The boot process is deterministic. Why does it need AI?

      I don’t want my bootloader to be creative or generate novel outputs. I want it to boot quickly, reliably, and the same way every time unless I change something I probably wasn’t supposed to.

      What part of that could AI even be conceivably inserted into?
