AI will 100% be part of our human future. That much we all need to embrace. But some of these companies need to learn when and how to implement it.

I actually agree with this, but the numbers don't match up right now. The power, data, bandwidth, and hardware requirements are such that, as of right now at least, the march of AI is factually unsustainable, but I do believe they'll improve efficiency, and I believe we're pretty close to some remarkable breakthroughs in fusion, and with the advent of nuclear as well, I do anticipate that AI will always be a part of our life, that's a given, but I do think the over investing into it will be ending soon, as only a few companies have made money in AI. For the vast majority of companies who have invested, it has become nothing more than a money sink and it's unlikely to ever be anything more, such is why many of the smaller companies who invested are now divesting.

AI isn't something that's going away, but the current AI zeitgeist and the economy around it are absolutely bubbles; we just don't know how close the needle is.

But the future ain't human.

The bolded will be proven true in a few years. We both will be 1 million percent proven correct on that. It's almost super obvious to me if you read into it just a bit.

Well said.

Despite the criticism, I imagine they believe that their users simply don't know what they want and are unable to envision the promising future of AI.

This has always been MS's way. That's why they win all those marketing awards. They're good at getting rabid to accept and go to war for them with "what they push is what you want."

Honestly. Valve and Linux smell blood in the water. For gamers I can really see Windows going in the bin over the next 5 years.

If I can run the essential apps, all my games and browse the web. I'd happily ditch windows.

I don't remember when it worked for them though. They were met with widespread rejection with Xbox One, Kinect, TVTVTVTVTV, and always online. The same thing happened with the Windows 8 start menu and the UWP apps "the future of Windows". In both cases, they had to backtrack after months of nagging.

Someone has to give AI all their attention, I wish it weren't M$ but I think Microsoft knows historically they're an os/software company and I don't see why not

Valve waiting to release SteamOS at the exact perfect moment:

Gabe just waiting in the bushes for the perfect time. I'd say 2027 or 2028 would be that time to release for Valve.
