“It operates across cloud, desktop, and web, connecting to Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint, and to the data that powers your day, including chats, email, calendar, and contacts,” Omar Shahine, corporate VP of Microsoft Scout, wrote in the announcement
microslop is going completely nuts
So nice! I can’t wait till I don’t have to use my computer at all anymore since it does everything on its own. Now I can go outside and play with my dog all day and enjoy the nice hot weather we are getting with all this global warming! I dont have to work anymore now yaaay! I still get paid right… right…
No! Get back on that treadmill and produce more electricity for your AI gods!
Back dooring subscription revenue for an OS you ‘own’.
Maybe figure out OneDrive and copilot before making such big promises? It’s going to be real fun as we try go navigate past more bugs because AI is messing up its tracking.
You mean like when someone let an AI agent loose on her inbox and it deleted everything?
So your Windows computer is minding its own business, reorganizing its schedule, creating lists of todos, and teaming with other AIs. It’s a bit like we did in the 80s where we took over dad’s computer and learned how to program. Good days.
Anyway, for our own productive work we need a different computer with a different OS.
It more and more reminds me on Futurama and this chamber with the speaking heads in jar glasses. Just let those AI bots talk to each other and feel competent. In their little dull chamber.
its just wasted electricity and water
Maybe AI can play my games for me now, too?
hoping this is one of those patents they can sit on so no one else does it lol
I mean … why not? There are a lot of things in games that simply just suck. Some games are requiring you to grind to gain some arbitrary stats to proceed. Or you need to do some things again and again to unlock the cool stuff. You are getting stuck on some stupid puzzles and need to google a solution, which is hidden in some multipart youtube play through. Or you simply do hate underwater or ice levels. It’s your game, it’s your time, why shouldn’t you be able to skip that?
You can but you can:
- A, Use an excessive amount of computing power to run an LLM agent to do it
- B, Spend 5 minutes on youtube
- C, The dev could just program in the option to skip
This will let you perform your pointless and demeaning corporate make-work bullshit job twice as fast, so your boss can flip a coin to decide whether its you or your colleague he will fire.
Sounds awful.
I question the security and the cost of agents.
What about the utility? I would predict for every useful action there are three annoyances or errors this sort of in your face agent will cause.
Well, from Microsoft sure. I have been pretty impressed with Hermes agent, though not the cost. Claude Code was also pretty good, I think a bit easier to control the API costs in my limited testing, and had more repeatable security gates than Hermes seemed to. Then again, I think Hermes could do more.
