  I suspect that for AI to do a lot of the stuff we've been promised it's going to take multiple generations of fundamental new architectures — like at the level of the actual physical substrate of compute (or maybe we'll just build a Dyson sphere and pave the moon with data center…

  Worth noting that only Qualcomm can deliver on the Copilot+ spec at launch. Intel and AMD will follow towards the end of the year. A huge coup for @qualcomm and the result of a deep strategic partnership with Microsoft. #microsoftevent [image]

  While I'm sure many will debate this, but the way I see it, Microsoft fundamentally rearchitected the Windows OS for both the NPU and Arm. A complete, grounds up OS no, but a rearchitecture, nonetheless.

  Microsoft will once again try to break up with Intel with their new companion Qualcomm. Intel has been trying to break up with Intel for years... let's see Power PC, MIPS, Itanium, DEC Alpha, ARM and let's not forget Windows RT (although Microsoft is working hard to forget it).

  One of the more important takeaways from this @microsoft prevention on Copilot+ PCs is how this is a total rearchitect of Windows 11 that aligns Windows more with the AI era.

  Every time you install windows you need to spend 30 minutes removing all the stuff that makes it run badly, and doing so breaks half of the OS. And every year Microsoft adds another 5-10 features and they're increasingly intrusive and annoying.
