Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I would actively avoid the extra hassle of an AI computer.

If I want at AI I have a multitude of options. It's baked into my editors and easily available on the web. I just paste some crap into a text box and we're off to the races.

I don't want it in my OS. I don't want it embedded in my phone. I'll keep disabling it as long as that is an option.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and everyone else is hyping up AI. Consumers are not really seeing much benefit by making everything AI-ified. Executives are raving over it but maybe aren't realize that people outside of the C-suite aren't that excited? Having it shoved in our faces constantly, or crammed in places companies hope they can save money is not helping either.

What is even the point of an AI coprocessor for an end user (excluding ML devs)? Most of the AI features run in the cloud and even if they could run locally, companies are very happy to ask you rent for services and keep you vendor locked in.

What the hell is an AI computer? Like one with a beefy GPU?

I care. I care enough to crater copilot.

The average technical person realises ai is shit.
The average non-technical person doesn't need an ai computer, because chatgpt is free.

The only real purpose of AI is to get sweet VC money. Beyond that...
