I think you give them too much credit, I think it’s just incompetence and feature creep, and Microsoft desperately trying to hold on to users while more switch to Linux. The enshittification will rapidly increase, and more will realize they don’t have to pay at all for a good operating system.
So stupid, given how quickly computers have become more powerful and cheaper over time. Local PC hardware will never be antiquated, and is only becoming more important over time.
Depends on the model, I think Opus 4.5 is the only model that I’ve prompted which is getting close to not just being a boring sycophant.
It’s all already been used to train AI at this point.
AI doesn’t generate its own code, humans using AI generate code. If a person uses AI to generate code and doesn’t know good practices then of course the code is going to be worse.
Everyone should just be using AV1 at this point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1
No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.
