What's Cursor's moat here? I'm a bit surprised that xAI/SpaceX needs to buy them rather than building their own VScode forked IDE or an agentic UI/CLI.
From the article: "Additionally, AI features in Notepad settings has been renamed to Advanced features and it allows users to toggle off AI capabilities within the app."
I honestly don't mind this, as long as it's not being forced. And I believe this feature exists only within their npu PCs.
I hope they add a web search tool to the agent skills too. Most of my llm usage on my phone are just quick lookups and search summarizations. Would love to do these with a local model rather than Google AI mode of any other cloud based inference tools.
