I agree but I think the problem will be if the consequences are that dire then entire classes of business will cease to exist OR the cost of doing things properly will be passed on to the consumer.
I struggle to see how data brokers, social media, etc are a net benefit to society so would be happy to see those sorts of businesses cease to exist, but I suspect I'm in the minority.
You do have to wonder what the hell the people in charge of the Windows UI are thinking. They seem to have got it so badly wrong. But so has Apple in macos.
I saw this yesterday. I was asking it to update an SQL query and it was saying, 'I did this' and then that wasn't in the query. I even saw it put something in the query and then remove it, and then say 'here it is'.
Maybe it's because I use the free tier web interface, but I can't get any AI to do much for me. Beyond a handful of lines (and less yesterday) it just doesn't seem that great. Or it gives me pages of javascript to show a date picker before I RTFM and found it's a single input tag to do that, because it's training data was lots of old and/or bad code and didn't do it that way.
I can imagine the effort of open source Windows would be prohibitive.
Having to go through every source file to ensure there is nothing to cause offense in there; there may be licensed things they'd have to remove; optionally make it buildable outside of their own environment...
Or there may be just plain embarrassing code in there they don't feel the need to let outsiders see, and they don't want to spend the time to check. But you can be sure a very small group of nerds will be waiting to go through it and shout about some crappy thing they found.
I’m finding ave harder to watch as time goes by. He’s got some conspiracy stuff going on and while he’s clearly intelligent & educated I wonder if he all that much smarter than most of us or if he’s just bluffing sometimes. He’d be fun to be friends with and hang out with for sure but I think a lot of people consider him some sort of know everything genius. He seems to play up to his audience more and more.
I’m not sure where TOT sits. He’s not particularly ‘how to do it’ like mrpete222 or maybe Presso, but he’s not trivial dumb stuff either. He’s entertaining and I think YT would be worse without him.
