"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

They're going to keep doing this, because they essentially have a monopoly. Apple is the only real competitor, and they're paying Google for AI now, so same-same.
I think Linux on desktop is at about 3%, but rising lately. That's not enough to change their minds, but it is a good alternative. Linux Mint is where I've been for the past year and a half. As long as you don't absolutely need Adobe or AutoCAD products, etc., it's a stable, and useful alternative.
Valve is making good progress on pushing Linux. I think other companies could also follow suit. The only real reason Microsoft is so dominant is because windows comes preloaded.
