After seeing what happened to windows because of this "tool" I think many of us are rightfully skeptical of what will happen to this community.
It happened before, why are we okay with it happening again?
Microsoft doesn’t treat it as a tool; that’s the problem.
…Which isn’t surprising. Not only because Microsoft is Microsoft, but they own like a third of OpenAI, so they have a vested interest in perpetuating the AI hype.
Microsoft has far more people relying on their products to work, so you'd think they'd exercise far more diligence in making things work...
Far more people compared to what?
Linux which is still stuck at around 3% market share
Windows basically rules the world on desktop PCs
Desktop PCs are really small part of the whole, far more people rely on working linux systems to work, like orders of magnitude more.
Far more people work on Windows machines to do work
I mean the fact that one of my biggest sources of productivity back when I was there has been essentially nuked since I left, does make me feel limited even though everything else works really well so far. Hopefully that changes but I'm having a hard time migrating that last piece of the puzzle over.
It does make me feel like we need more people here, to make that work.
