Learn AI intuitively, best intro into LLMs! https://intuitiveai.academy/ limited time code "SUMMER" for 25% off yearly plan We just wrote a new piece on RL & RLHF! AI simulated games, physics engine, and now operating systems...? Why would anyone do that? Today let's take a look at this absurd idea, what it'll be like if it's practical, and the implications of such system.

It's need to be said that perhaps the most useful "feature" of programs (OS included) is the fact they are deterministic. We have that implicit understanding that "machine is certain" which falls apart when you're replacing them with neural networks - they are anything but certain. And certainty is absolutely critical for OS.

Man I can't wait to use the full power of a 5090 to generate frames of me opening my file explorer!

Instead of 50mb I shall rent a datacenter for 50 million in order to train on an app I already have!

The Linux world is moving towards more stable, more predictable systems with atomic and declarative distributions, OCI, etc. meanwhile AI companies are like "but what if we went the other direction?"

I think rather than the entire OS being built by AI, this kind of research can evolve to make agents understand the OS better.

If it ever becomes a reality, we should call it the Bloat System (or BS for short). Its initialization process should be called the Bloat Loader, its memory, the B-RAM (when the bull meets the ram), its storage is the Slop Disk, and its programming language (prompts), the B#ъ (BShard) language, used to create Bь (BSoft) programs. Uninstalling it is called debloating your PC.

OSes behave the way they do because of the interaction of a large number of files, most of which are not visible on screen. To make a truly neural OS, one would have to train the model to represent the entire OS in its latent space. Not doing that leads to exactly what was shown in the video. There are older, hybrid ideas, such as AIOS, which is better because it doesn't try to replace the highly optimized architecture with an inefficient (in this case) approximation.
