In the olden times

Technology constantly blew people’s mind like fire make warm and cook meat now, computers are pretty much alive and soon they could even cook for me!

Microsoft’s AI Future

Microsoft continues to herald its AI future by secretly putting an AI-assisted super resolution feature in Windows 11. The tool was first discovered on Twitter by a user, Phantom of Earth, who posted screenshots from the 26052 preview build of Windows. Of course, since this was a hidden feature added by Microsoft, not just anyone could find it. You need to use an external tool to enable it, chat GPT.

The feature can be used to make supported games play more smoothly with enhanced details, but it seems to also work with native Windows apps and even windowed games, meaning it could potentially support older titles. According to Tom’s Hardware, your system needs a GPU with tensor CES or a processor with an NPU.

Starting this summer, AI processors will become standard for Windows PCs as part of the major OS overhaul everyone thought would be Windows 12, but is allegedly just an update to Windows 11 called 24 H2, starring Ke for Settin. The International Data Corporation forecasts that 60% of PC shipments will be AI PCs within the next 3 years. It sounds like Microsoft will get their dream of a future full of hundreds of AI products, all named Co-Pilot. We are all co-pilots, there is only one pilot.

AMD’s Secret Project

AMD was secretly funding a project to make Cuda compatible with Radeon cards for two years. Now, that project is open source. Developer Andre Yanik originally created Zuda to enable Cuda support on Intel hardware, but Team Red reached out to him after he abandoned it to see if he could adapt it to work on their graphics software stack. Now, apparently, Radeon cards can run on modified Cuda code, meaning Cuda-enabled software can run on AMD GPUs without any input from the software’s developers.

While Zuda works on both Windows and GNU/Linux, there are some caveats. For example, code for Nvidia Optics, also known as Team Green’s ray tracing API, does not work. But it does allow Radeon GPUs to run native Cuda code in Blender 4.0 faster than AMD’s own Radeon HIP code. Yanik hasn’t necessarily rebranded the project, but says that without financial backing, he will only work on improvements he has personally invested in.

Apple Settles Lawsuit

Apple has apparently decided to settle the lawsuit it brought against chip startup Revos two years ago. The Cupertino crew initially alleged that Revos led a coordinated campaign to recruit Apple’s chip designers and instructed the poached employees to steal trade secrets. The trade secret claim was actually dismissed a year later. The settlement will allow Apple to conduct a forensic examination of Revos’ systems to recover any confidential information.

YouTube Hits Milestone

10 days ago, Google announced that YouTube had hit over 100 million premium subscribers, and now Google One has reached the same milestone. Possibly indicating that the Venn diagram of Google users willing to pay for additional cloud storage and to get rid of ads is just a circle. 100 million might sound like a lot, but it’s nothing compared to Apple’s billion-plus paid subscribers for Apple Music, Apple One, and iCloud Plus.

  1. Nokia PC Suite from 2005 was faster and less buggy than Copilot. Microsoft would be wise to drop all AI ambitions until they can bring it up to useable standard – otherwise, they risk destroying its reputation and they'll have another Internet Explorer or Vista on their hands.

  6. I'm glad ZLUDA is open source, but disappointed that AMD stopped funding it. ZLUDA seems like it would have been very profitable for AMD, as they don't engage in VRAM racketeering, thus they could make a huge difference in the AI space if they were to partially adopt CUDA.

  29. Windows is not that relevant any more. Changing Windows is like rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic, it can been changed into anything until it is UNIX. But Windows will never be UNIX, it will never be safe and reliable, because in the basic Windows isn't UNIX and it will never reach that level of safety and trustworthiness.

    Adding AI is foolish. the real power of AI is not in the "Personal" computer but is all the thousands, ten-thousands, no hundreds of thousands of computer Alphabet owns. One computer running on Windows is never large enough to grasp all the data in existence, therefore ONE computer running under Windows can never compete with a real AI system that is handling petabytes of data. ONE computer is not even capable of indexing the names of all computers in an Alphabet AI setup. The data in all computers is totally out of reach, interpreting the data is unthinkable.

  30. Hardware level AI controlled entirely by Microsoft, is a very, VERY bad idea. If Windows is going to start forcing the use of hardware level AI, that's just a means for any bad actor, including Microsoft itself, to dictate reality to the end-user. Connecting these systems into an Azure model will not be used for any benefit other than corporate revenue and digital tear-or campaigns. This is the real threat this generative AI era poses. Yes, it is absolutely making 60% of the current modern workforce obsolete within the next 5 years. But more than that, it is already capable of manipulating the version of this reality being delivered to individual users.

    In other words, AI is already capable of the distribution of false reality to any demographic, or any scale, from the individual to the entire internet-connected population. Essentially controlling LITERALLY ANYONE's behavior, from Vladimir Putin, to Karen at your local reverse-toilet consumer station. All that it requires is energy and data. Both, can be attained blindly with any globally traded currency. That means whoever the highest bidder is will be able to buy their way ahead of the others, and block their tangential development with false data.

    It means, as ole Pooter said, the race to the first AI is the race to the last AI. The leader will systematically destroy the competition through the artificial control of literal reality. There is no mental toolkit in 90% of engaged human minds to defend against this attack. And human social evolution forces the remaining 10% to look toward the herd's behavior against their own better instincts as well.

    Absolute control over all connected human beings is already possible without Elon's brain chip. In fact, one of the reasons he is putting so many resources into the development is this very scenario. You will need your own AI at the organic hardware level to defend against the onslaught of generative data.

    None of you are ready for what is already breathing down the back of your neck.
