I wish we would stop giving so much importance to the opinions of guys like Gates. He doesn't have any specialist knowledge in this area, he's just stinking rich.

While I agree I don’t think it takes any specialist knowledge to say “AI gonna make things harder/better/faster/stronger”
so we should be asking Daft Punk
And he pioneered a shitty OS.
He was a ruthless tech bro who was in the right place at the right time.
Yeah, Gates bought QDOS (aka 86-DOS), to license it to IBM as MS DOS after his mom did the ground work of marketing him to the right people at IBM. And somehow people still respect him, as if he wasn't the proto-Elon.
He's a great business person, period. Like Steve Jobs, he didn't code but at least Jobs had a drive to make the best products he could.
I'm sure Microsoft has no issue super-helping themselves to more of ur data!
Oh yeah, Bill Gates is just sooo strung out by all the tedium in his life.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
This past week has made that much clear as big-name techies like Bill Gates and Sam Altman touted the future of AI as one of "agents."
"You can use Microsoft Word and Google Docs to draft a business proposal, but they can't help you send an email, share a selfie, analyze data, schedule a party, or buy movie tickets."
In return — depending on how much information you choose to share with your computer, of course — the AI agent "will be able to respond personally because it will have a rich understanding of your life."
Altman also put agents front and center as he held OpenAI's first-ever developer day in San Francisco on Monday.
It could also mean building specific tools that help you create email templates, plan parties, optimize social-media posts for engagement, and more.
"GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home — and then share that creation with others," OpenAI said.

This mosquito herder should be in jail in the cell next to his good friend Jeffrey Epstein!
