A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I hope Microshaft keep on the same trajectory. It's pushing more users to Linux. I know it won't happen, but nothing would make me happier than to see MS collapse.
MS doesn't even care about Windows anymore. All the money is in XBox and their various cloud services, including Office 365.
Xbox is finished. They have absolutely nothing relevant going on in the console space, Sony ate their lunch primarily because Microsoft are pathologically incapable of developing a compelling product.
"Make a slightly inferior copy and undercut the competition" has been their mode of operation since Day 1, so that shouldn't really surprise me.
It’s funny you should say that because Microsoft doesn’t care about Xbox at all lol.
I think they meant the Xbox services, games pass, which I do think is MS's current business model focus. Could be wrong
Which is crazy because they just upped the price of Game Pass by 50% and lost a ton of subscribers. We don't know yet if the number of cancelations was financially significant, but it sure looked like it.
Honestly I wish they would just go back to making operating systems. Linux is far too complicated and janky for me to use outside of gaming on Steam. And Apple hardware is a bad combination of absurdly expensive and disposable. I'd gladly pay for a system that simply facilitated my needs and wasn't incessantly harassing me to buy shit I didn't want or need in an effort to extract more money.
