Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time.
Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time.
I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner 😉
You're viewing a single thread.
One of the replies to the LinkedIn post:
Dave Cutler (Windows NT) and Linus Torvalds (Linux kernel creator) wouldn’t meet casually; they’re almost certainly plotting a next-gen AI-native operating system (AI OS). With Azure CTO Mark Russinovich in the mix, the effort looks Microsoft-centered and cloud-first.
Key ideas: “Processes” become agents; Command line / GUI replaced by a natural-language interface; Hybrid Windows + Linux kernel layers, orchestrated on Azure for large-scale LLM and agent workloads
Bottom line: expect a Microsoft-led, AI-centric OS that re-imagines traditional operating-system architecture for the LLM era.
Talk about talking out of your ass.
Talking out of your AIss*
Or just great satire, what's even the difference between that and reality these days?I find comfort in satire because it's way less absurd.
Thoughts and sprayers to satire!

That HAS to be sarcasm .... right?
Yes, it's obvious sarcasm. But reading comprehension has seriously gone to shit in the last decade or so.
You've not been briefed on the current state of the world if this is obvious sarcasm to you.
This.
Just in case that putting processes in quotation marks as though they're some alien concept (unlike AI agents I guess) wasn't enough to convince you how deeply unserious this person is, they threw "azure-orchestrated kernel layers" in there.
I would pay actual money to hear Linus Torvalds react to that elevator pitch.
That LinkedIn comment you quoted feels really ChatGPT to me. Mostly because it smashes reasonable ideas together into some BS and then summarizes it's own response several times.
It was posted by the CEO of some random AI company so the distinction is probably nil
Add long as it has nothing to do with Linux, I don't care
They can call it GlossolaliaOS or something.
