Pavan Davuluri, the president of Windows and devices at Microsoft, recently took to X to share their feelings on the future of the OS (as spotted by Tom's Hardware). "Windows is evolving into an agentic OS, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere."

If that phrase reads to you like someone has thrown a dart at a board filled with LinkedIn buzzwords, you're not alone. Effectively, an agentic AI is one that can run autonomously, without the need to check back in on each step of the process.

If you ask a standard non-agentic AI to make you a poem, it can. If you ask that same AI to set up supply chains, adjusting stock and employees in real-time, based on information fed to it, it can't do it .

So, in this sense, Windows as an agentic AI is one that is designed to run automations daily to lighten the productivity load. However, I can't help but wonder who wants that out of their OS?

God fucking damn it. Im so glad im done with windows in my personal life but im so fucking pissed that im going to very likely end up deploying this horse shit to hundreds of school desktops while desperately praying there are GPOs to turn it all off. Its fucking bad enough that notepad.exe has a god damn fucking copilot button.

The amount of fucking energy middle schoolers pour into trying to access AI shit gives me nightmares about how fucking disfunctional an entire generation of kids will end up being as a result of every application being infected with this shit. Chrome browser has AI in it, Chrome Search, notepad, windows photos app, fucking paint probably... Now the whole fucking OS!?

There is only so much you can do to prevent these kids from having direct access to these fucking psychosis inducing MKUltra machines. My kids have zero access to personal computing devices. They are not allowed to handle our phones, but can look at content with us on a very limited basis. Next year my kid will be assigned an iPad, and while I know how to manage that relationship, I know for a fact most parents have no idea how to manage it.

The worst part about the built-in AI slop in Google search IMO is that kids/students LOVE IT. It gives them an instant answer and reduces how much time they have to spend on work/homework/thinking.

But it also trains them to believe the very first god damned thing they read/hear about everything.

This all combined with that recent study that showed that heavy AI users are pretty much just giving themselves lobotomies does not bode well for people that are growing up with it.

I can only pray that the AI crash comes as soon as possible.

Bold to assume there will be GPOs and they won't just expect you to pay for InTune.

I will push .reg files if I have to! I've gotten by this far with out needing intune.
