            The general denotes its use. Current AIs have to be trained for basically one thing and it struggles at other things. It can only do what it's program says it can do essentially. The programs are basically billions of parameters but it's still limited, it doesn't learn.

            General AI can learn. It's a general intelligence instead of a specialized intelligence, like the model I have that produces anime girls with huge boobs. It's different than a LLM that you can talk to.

          Windows wouldn't let me remove the Copilot icon from my taskbar. Literally if you right-click it there is no "unpin from taskbar" option like there is for every other icon. I had to go deep into Windows settings to find some option to toggle Copilot off. It's fricking crazy how they're trying to force this bullshit down our throats even when we aren't asking for it.

          If you look on Google there are multiple massive threads on M$'s support forums complaining about it.

                That's simply not true. Normalhomosexuals love AI "art" and AI voice generation shit.

                I use Youtube a lot. I frequently get recommended videos with obviously AI generated thumbnails, or AI voice covers of popular songs, or AI "presidents tier list" type videos. This is despite me NEVER clicking on any video even remotely related to AI shit. All the videos have hundreds of thousands if not millions of views. Clearly normies like this shit.

        Linux has hit 10% before, and it will hit 10% again. Every time it happens the distribution that has taken off gets declared to not count by Microsofties and the cycle repeats.
        Steam for Linux is going to hit 5% this year in North America, with about a solid 3% of that being SteamOS. It is only a matter of time before they come up with a new cope.

          Steam Deck was a huge boon for linux gaming. it's not just a large install base, it's that said install base is on a single hardware platform, so there's way less QA necessary to ensure it works if you're only targeting "steam deck compatibility" with non-steam deck linux support being an unintended side-effect that you don't need to test for.

          honestly a 300 IQ play by gaben if his goal is to actually dethrone windows as the gaming OS. it's still a long way off from happening, but it's much, much closer now than it was five years ago.

              Windows is already down to 30%, and it is likely to drop further. Microsoft's bet as always is that the increased monetization of their user base will drive some small percentage away, but it will generate more overall revenue from the users who are left.
              Every PC gamer could get fed up and drop Windows tomorrow, and it wouldn't really affect Microsoft's bottom line.

              Now that I think about it the only people I know that own windows PCs use them for vidya. So I think guys are right, microsoft already lost the home market.

              Even a small company with 20 PCs needs to drop $215/mo on it.

      It's digital crack already, even in its current primitive and crippled form. It's amazing that we've reached a point where ubiquitous internet porn for every possible kink actually feels boring and mild compared to what's coming next. Gen alpha doesn't stand a chance.

      I'd rather have an extra button at the cost of a smaller shift instead of a smaller space bar.

      just like how Microsoft tricked companies into using Internet Explorer by renaming it to Edge, they'll do the same with this AI shit as well.

            It doesn't use Trident anymore though. Its a KHTML browser like everything else is these days (other than Firefox). It can just fake some of IE's bad behaviors, but all the browsers can do that these days.

      NO. No it fricking doesn't if you want anything more than a bootloader for an internet browser. And most guides to even get STARTED with any Linux distro paradoxically assume some familiarity with Linux going in. There's SO many goddamn assumptions and implications in every Linux tutorial.
      >t. been recently distrohopping across about fourteen goddamn distros (three or four installers of which didn't even fricking work) until finally getting somewhere with Manjaro currently
      I want Windows to be crippled. I want Microsoft to start sweating. But that's absolutely a non-starter with Linux or the communities/literature surrounding it as they are now.

        So if not "Linux" then what? BSD?

        Are you perhaps confusing GNU/Linux distributions that are targeted at software developers with distributions that are targeted at the general public and generally sold preinstalled on hardware built to run it?
        Any distribution that requires you to install it yourself is going to be aimed at the tiny minority of users who install their own OS.

    isn't there a good reason there isn't an "Internet Explorer" button or a "Skyrim" button? Imagine if keyboards were just a smorgasbord of keys with one function that became obsolete after they were no longer the current thing.

    The AI "boom" of the last 2 years feels like another venture capitalist pump-and-dump scheme. Chatbots with access to the Internet and a million TB of RAM do have their uses, but seeing them in action is actually pretty underwhelming.
