- Comment on Microsoft Windows 365 goes down the day after Microsoft celebrates 'reimagining the PC as a cloud service that streams a Cloud PC' 18 hours ago:
That’s fucking nuts because any device that can connect to a cloud is powerful enough to run an operating system (they will probably not give user access to the non-volatile memory). Just not a bloated AI spyware box that they want.
I work in embedded, and you would be surprised how much you can do with a CPU under 100mhz when there isn’t an operating system in the way. We need to get back to basics in the software industry. We’ve been going down the wrong road for a looooong time, and the AI bubble is only accelerating is in that wrong direction.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 months ago:
Similar thought… If it was so revolutionary and innovative, I wouldn’t have access to it. The AI companies would be keeping it to themselves. From a software perspective, they would be releasing their own operating systems and browsers and whatnot.
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 5 months ago:
Also depends how hard the AI runs them. A good chunk of the graphics cards that were used as miners came out on life support if not completely toasted. Games generally don’t run the piss out of them like that 24/7, and many games are still CPU bound.

I took his comment to mean recession from bubble popping.
