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.

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

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!

I almost missed that they literally came back with "it can't be that dumb, you must be promoting it wrong"

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

What does three word normie mean to you

Yeah, now not even computer engineers can find anything via web search.

If they're still using Google, that's kind of on them.

Keyboards make users less productive due to their learning curve.

If AI wants to do my job for me, it has to do it as good or better than me. Faster but worse won't do, and I don't have time or patience to craft a carefully detailed prompt to fine tune its output. Specially if, in that same time, I could've get the job done to my standards. I also disagree with the definition of digital chores, doing those chores is sometimes active part of my process. I can't make decisions or have a strategic understanding of the problems without actively engaging in the analysis process, an AI summary is useless when I want depth instead of speed.
