No details on why the Android stack is somehow more magical for AI? ... Or did they just fire all the ChromeOS devs and need to share resources with Android now? Why not Fuscia for something new?
TL;DR: Google is consolidating behind the whims of the hardware org, which are orthogonal to OS' that can't ship (what ppl outside Google call Fuschsia), and here, OS' that can't sell premium 1st party hardware. The old platform org head left recently, combine that with the CEO's eagerness to display Efficiency™ and the lack of interest the CEO has in practical work, that means VP shuffle people around to keep constant/shrinking headcount and the CEO loves it.
I hope your day gets better! However you're feeling, it's temporary, it's not worth trolling and doing a know-nothing thing in public, it's too demeaning to yourself.
People can see my comment, profile, and site, and then see you're completely anonymous.
Then they're left with either: A) you're so hung up on an extra S you're lying on purpose B) you're a vindictive liar: you don't care enough to find out who I am, even though it's right in my profile, but you do care enough to pretend it's unknowable or C) youre having some sort of psychotic break from reality
I don't know anyone outside the Fuchsia team that takes it seriously.
A big advantage of Android is the implementation of intents (also compared to Apples new crippled intents API), which may turn out to become the deciding factor in the race towards the winning AI Agent OS, as it may enable AI to use programs programmatically
Because they are panicking and need to add AI faster than Apple and Microsoft across their whole portfolio.
As building an OS is no simple task, this all could mean nothing and the project might be heading to the graveyard slowly.
I noticed the same, too, it was hyped as the next OS now about a decade ago, and it doesn't look like it will be a significant player any time soon. I assume it's still in the evaluation, prototype phase, probably tons of issues.
I heard here and there that some exotic glorified home tablet thingy is running it, but I don't think you can really go to a local consumer electronics store and find something with Fuchsia running on it.
I don't necessarily think it's going to be a major success, but it's already been more successful than this implies.
(Bias, was on the Fuchsia team many moons ago)
There is not much actual difference between "I heard here and there that some exotic glorified home tablet thingy is running it" and "There are multiple devices that have shipped with Fuchsia on it in the home ecosystem over the last 5 years".
Would love to hear where it was actually used, searching for it, I really only found a handful of examples.
I was an active Flutter community member and it was driving me crazy how people would say "Flutter is great because Fuchsia also uses Flutter", and all I thought "show me one person who is using Fuchsia at this whole conference / meetup".
