Who wants an "AI Autopilot" to perform actions in their name? Even if 25 years, if AI is so good that it's flawless, people still will be double-checking it.

If AI were flawless, then it would have a reputation for that, and people would trust it. As it is, its reputation is very bad, and a lot of people still do. If it were somehow flawless, then I would want it, but there's not even a concept of a plan of how to get from here to there.

They forked SailfishOS to create a domestic OS to avoid these kinds of problems.

Russian linux devs still contribute to that tree though Linus banned their ethnicity from his tree.

Since we're all speculating, probably their phone is clunky and some Generals kept their iPhones against advice or orders because they're more featureful and convenient.

We'll hear eventually.

"Autopilots stay active in the background, understand how work gets done across your apps and systems, and take action without needing to be prompted each time," said Omar Shahine"

Actual autopilots require constant oversight, whether you're on a yacht looking or for shipping containers, or in a plane watching for mountains. That's why it's a good name for Tesla's Almost Self Driving misfeature. On that basis it's actually sort of a good name for this, in that so will these AI agents, though they won't be getting it.

If they wanted to give an air of confidence, though, they would have named it more cleverly than this, and without using a name already in common use for a semi related product.

I suggest general operating LLM enterprise management, or GOLEM ;)

Surely.
The great example is phones - I'd love to see a data driven study on network quality/cost to users for cell phones in Africa. They largely skipped the whole "stringing wires all over the fucking place" step and jumped straight to cell phones. How has that worked for them compared to mature hardwire telephone systems in developed countries? Pros? Cons? Long term benefits/costs?

I don't want to sound alarmist and I am obviously not an expert but... we know what happens when you remove a species from the food chain. 1. Their predators die off. 2. Other species rise to take their place.

1. is not a significant problem. There are only a couple of species which survive entirely on mosquitoes, they are not common, and there are many kinds of mosquito. 2. is even less of a problem, there's nothing else just waiting in the wings to upstage mosquitoes as they don't compete with anything else.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
