"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.’”
Who wants to click on an icon to open a program when you could just type in the program you want and have it guess what to open amirite?
Nope.
Another body for the Google graveyard.
Can’t wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.
Sounds absolutely fucking awful.
everybody definitely wants an even more locked down and ai bloated os than windows
A few decades ago I could have excited. A few years ago I would have been interested. Nowadays I’m just “more closed bullshit from google, meh”
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
damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
“AI at its core” is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.
I’m aware of that, and it’s still a huge detractor for me. clearly they’re focusing on non-value-added fluff
so, AI powered spyware…
I’d rather die
I remember when this garbage used to be called malware.
Gotta stick AI in there for the stock price huh?
I wouldn’t mind if you could plug application intents into an MCP converter and then let models work with that.
I don’t really trust the idea of ai at the core.
Wasn’t this
ChromeFuschia?That wasn’t built around agentic AI integration.
This will be.
No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.
Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.
You’d be excited for a Linux distro that’s less open and owned by Google? Forget about the AI, why would I want Android on my PC where better alternatives exist?
