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’m pretty fucking tired of seeing all the ads for computers with integrated AI chips. You’re telling me you made an RV for the virtual dumbass and you want me to pay for it? Fuck off!

Lack of familiarity with AI PCs leads to what the study describes as "misconceptions," which include the following: 44 percent of respondents believe AI PCs are a gimmick or futuristic; 53 percent believe AI PCs are only for creative or technical professionals; 86 percent are concerned about the privacy and security of their data when using an AI PC; and 17 percent believe AI PCs are not secure or regulated.

ah yeah, you just need to get more familiar with your AI PC so you stop caring what a massive privacy and security risk both Recall and Copilot are

lol @ 44% of the study’s participants already knowing this shit’s a desperate gimmick though

Remember when normies couldn’t even find what they wanted via normal web searches?

This seems like that.

maybe it was a mistake to lionize a corporate monopolist to the level where we ostracized people for not being “good” at using their trap of a product

My school had a class in the early 2000's on how to use a search engine. It certainly wasn't just about Google, at the time.

Are you telling me you never had that painful experience watching someone else use a computer to perform a search and struggle to find basic things? It's possible to be "bad" at it.
