Bill Gates Keynote at International CES


Recommended Posts

Did anyone else think something actually hit the board?

Bill has to put up his Grandma.. aww....

Sorry but this seems way too conceptish

concepts are how things begin... without making a concept things will never get off the ground. besides, don't expect these inventions to be inside your hours.. Bill just put a lot of ideas into peoples head right now, and maybe an in kitchen LCD monitor with voice recognition maybe in our kitchens in the near future... who knows right?

Holy crap, that digital home stuff was wicked! Especially the bus stop thing.

I did actually like that idea. That would be very useful to many people.

What made me laugh about it was Bill gates talking about the coupons.

zOMG...I can save 50 cents to add to my bank account of $68,435,234,295.50

jolly giood show !

Few final comments

Truly exciting and inspiring to see what products are on their way into our homes - the 360 with its HDMI and it's IPtv has in my eyes just buried the PS3 - but i dont care about that i'm a pc gamer. Live anywhere really excites me and i look forward to playing some of you lot at halo 2 on my pc over live.

The car stuff was a bit dull and lifeless but the connected experiences was very interesting and I truly believe that as long as the Zune is learned from and built upon - its sucessor will be a strong contender for the portable media title.

And lastly, how cool was that house of the future. Ever since i was a little kid that stuff fascinated me and its always exciting to see what products are possible in the future :-)

Night

Bill's grandma is still alive? How old is she? 534 years old?

Imagine if someone hacked into the bus stop displays and played a porno... LOL

Why does Ford have to be the only partner for the Auto thing

No other car company is that desperate I guess.

One other thing, does anyone know of anything else at CES worth watching? A webcast...and does anyone know if there will be the cast that did last year (forgotten the dudes name, but some American TV host/comedian that did a cast with Bill, I thought it was a classic!

LOL. So true!

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
