“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

I was curious about an LLM-powered terminal, so downloaded it to check it out. The first thing I did was ask it to do something like "open my resume file," and instead doing something like "ls | grep -i resume" in the current directory, it ran the find command on root and started hitting all my NFS mounts as well.

well do you want something that has an 80% chance of finding it in 2 seconds... or something that has a 99% chance of finding it in 38 hours? (and yeah, duh the obviously rational thing to do would be to try one or 2 layers of the quick methods, say "did this find it or do you want me to look deeper".
