The thought of how the computer would react to me telling my cat to get down off the desk is . . . both amusing and disturbing.
I don’t want to meet it.
I don't even talk to my cat, I can mute for a day. why would I talk to a clanking metals.
They are like two to three years out from this being viable in the slightest. If they push this it will be hilariously disastrous.
I love the idea!
I absolutely despise it when it is locked down from the user, owned by the corporation that produced it, and operating as an arm of the surveillance state.
Even discounting the need for safeguards, sanity-checks, and verifiability of information.
Those monstrosities are not allowed in my home until I can remove the spyware operating system.
I thought home assistants already taught us that designated buttons and switches are simply faster and more reliable than voice control?
So basically what they got in XP (or earlier) already but 1000x the power requirements.
Yes, I do honestly want a computer I can command with my voice. One that understands my needs and the context of the things I say.
However...
- That PC should not be tethered to the cloud. It must be capable of doing all that on its own.
- It should not fold me into some subscription model to some corporate entity.
- It should be open source and under my control, not opaque and subject to the whims of a corporate entity.
- No, it doesn't have to be FOSS. I would pay for it, once. It just needs to be OSS.
Isn't there a version of win11 like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?
Gotta get that. All stripped, just the OS and security.
Meet the computer! You can talk to!
im supposed to talk to it and it still cant suck my dick
