"A job listing reveals the first details of Google’s fusion of Android and ChromeOS. "
“We know a little more about Google’s long-gestating plans to combine the best parts of Android and ChromeOS into a single OS thanks to a job listing for a product manager to work on ‘Aluminium OS.’ The job ad describes it as ‘a new operating system built with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core.’”
Nope.
Sounds absolutely fucking awful.
Another body for the Google graveyard.
damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
I would’ve considered it if google were still anti-evil, after all, Microsoft has fucked up hard enough to push users away from free operating systems. but nope, Linux it will be. somehow to be simpler than dealing with ms or google bullshit
No thanks, I’m good
Can’t wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.
everybody definitely wants an even more locked down and ai bloated os than windows
Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.
A few decades ago I would have excited. A few years ago I would have been interested. Nowadays I’m just “more closed bullshit from google, meh”
so, AI powered spyware…
I remember when this garbage used to be called malware.
This one is more updated.
Surprised Google search and YouTube is not on the list yet …
Those are where the money comes from, re adsense. Remember, Google is a B2B company, they sell public attention to advertisers.
Well if they know that, why spend time and money on all the other consumer products only to drop them a few years later?
It is my understanding that this is a byproduct of Google’s company culture. Google hires software engineers, they’re incentivized to invent something of their own. They do so. They get promoted. There isn’t room in their company structure for anything to be maintained, maintaining someone else’s project isn’t a path to promotion. So Play Wallet is now Android Pay is now Google Pay is being sunset.
Oh, and Google is an American corporation, so anything that doesn’t promise infinite exponential growth in revenue or unprecedented opportunities for cruelty is shot in the head as worthless.
They think I am going to touch that after what they did to android, hell no.
I’d rather die
