People definitely did not like 10 at the start and only have done so recently as a cope for Windows 11.
10 basically set the precedence for turning Windows into a service for Microsoft and shifted the revenue focus on not just the actual license sale but also data collection and ads.

>>107847702
Yeah, I remember a lot of people being pissed about the spying and the seeming downgrade in UX/UI of 10 compared to 7.
People wanted 10 to be a return to form after 8, but it had (and still has) this weird clunky issue with all the settings menus being tacked over control panel, device manager, etc. from 7. It just seemed ultimately pointless. Why use the new settings menus when they obfuscated things further, usually involved more clicks/menus to go through, and often times resulted in you needing to open up control panel or one of the old settings systems 7 already had, which worked fine and still worked fine in 10, in most cases better than whatever the fuck was going on with their new settings?
I hoped they'd eventually just scrap it all and go back to control panel and the other device managers, but it never got fixed and the settings in 11 are even worse than 10.
Also, updates being forced and breaking shit/resetting how you had things setup and organized display wise. Overall it felt like you had less ability to customize the overall look of your system, and what was the point of doing so if an update might mess it up anyway?
A lot of people took the switch to Linux when 10 came around. Before that it was considered more "elitist", but now that's hardly the case, not that it necessarily was back then either. Back in the Windows 7 days I had an old USB that booted with Mint on it around that time which I used to circumvent all the browsing restrictions on my highschool's computers cause whoever set them up didn't disable boot from USB in startup settings kek. Fun times.

All these fags that weren't alive back then I swear.

Windows 3.xx was considered decent because that's all people really knew other than DOS back then. It did more than DOS and still allowed you to run your DOS shit without much trouble. So it wasn't outright hated.

Windows 95 was shilled worldwide as revolutionary but was pretty hated due to constant BSoD problem. Win98 was the same but considered more tolerable because it had all the updates for Win95 bundled in (mostly USB support was all anyone cared about). The entire 9x series was considered horrible.

Windows 2k was beloved because NT actually got decent by then. It still ran most of your Win 16/32-bit and DOS shit. Although, a lot of people (/v/ermin) cried about how it wouldn't run games despite never having used it.

WinME was a huge joke and everyone thought it was shit. So many teenagers got stuck with shitty pre-builts when it came out. No idea why but at that time everyone was buying them for their children for the first time. No self respecting person wanted it. I made a lot of money installing Win2k for people back then.

WinXP was considered a worse 2k and the GUI was laughed at by everyone. It didn't become tolerable until SP2 and most people only moved on from 2k because of Microsoft forcing people over. It also ate far more RAM and was never as stable.

Vista was shit and widely hated like ME. Windows 7 was basically Vista with some bugs fixed so was in the same boat as 98. Most people preferred to stay on XP for good reasons.

Look up the tray loading mechanism of high end laserdisc players that can do both A/B side reverse and have a separate CD tray.

> Who is actually outright ENTHUSED about containers when they could just be running regular bloat-free software?

I am. My work PC uses a standard non-atomic Linux distro, and I'm the only one who uses it. My gaming PC with bazzite is in my living room, and I'm not the only one who uses it. My fiancee uses it to watch her shows and occasionally play video games. My younger sister regularly uses it to watch streams and YouTube videos, and every once in a while play emulated GameCube and PS2 games from our childhood.

I like that the distro is user friendly and unlikely to accidentally break if a non-tech savvy user wants to also use it.

>>107848704
Do your fiancee and sister know or care what containerization is? If not, why is this jargon on the front page of the website? Imagine going back to 2003 and telling Windows XP users about the virtues of containers; you'd sound insane because you in fact WOULD be insane. Given that Bazzite is supposed to be a just werks distro, their marketing language is a total mismatch; talk to me like I'm a Windows XP user circa 2003, because that's the exact sort of person who'd eventually grow disillusioned with Windows and switch to Linux.

Do you want an actual argument against what you were saying? Here's an actual argument against it.

> If you have more demand than you can supply then obviously you invest your revenue in building more factories to scale up production

OpenAI has a current market capitalization of over 50 times it's annual revenue. In simple terms, if they were to need to make their current stock liquid via revenue, it would take them over 50 years to do so. That isn't accounting for them just committing to 1.4 trillion dollars of hardware over the next 5 years, when they can't even break 20 billion in revenue. There is absolutely no future in which selling tokens (which they currently do at a loss, and will do at a loss for at minimum the next 5 years if their current publications are to be believed), will cover the astronomical expenditures they've committed to.

If this company were operating in literally any other industry, they would likely be getting their insides reamed out by the FTC. The only reason they aren't is because our current government genuinely seems to believe the scam and are afraid we will "lose the arms race to China" if they don't go all in and cut all the guard rails.

>>107848470
That's... a surprisingly strong and well informed argument. Thanks.

Digging into the weeds, I think that if their market cap growth slowed to a more precedented 2x per year
https://epoch.ai/gradient-updates/openai-is-projecting-unprecedented-revenue-growth
and revenue continued to grow at 3x per year
https://epoch.ai/data-insights/openai-revenue
then the 50 year figure would look more like 20 years by 2029.

I admit these are very risky bets, but events like the Industrial Revolution do happen from time to time. It's not impossible that the best placed company is able to pull this off, but you're right that if the bet fails then it will do systemic damage to the economy.

>>107848589
I don't think "AI will fail" because LLM's, diffusion models and transformers have no future purpose in society. I think there is quite likely to be a niche in which OpenAI could see reliable success, especially in relatively low-risk tasks these LLM's are already pretty good at (translation of non-critical documents, automated customer service chat bots, summarization of non-critical documents where it's okay if it sometimes gets things wrong).

OpenAI clearly has a product which does offer some value to people and I have no doubt their product will improve over time and adoption will increase.

My problem with them is that they are behaving like scam artists. They are spending other people's money left and right while promising the world and delivering far less. They are promising the gateway to super intelligence and problem solving capacities that are beyond human comprehension. This could happen (if it does, I have my doubts LLM's will be the ticket), but I don't think we should be betting the farm on it. I don't think Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or whatever that Microsoft Indian CEO is named have acted in ways which warrant our society trusting them to spend trillions of dollars that don't exist to purchase hardware and build out datacenters for a product and customer base that simply doesn't exist yet. It doesn't even have a roadmap towards existing yet.

>>107848660
>It doesn't even have a roadmap towards existing yet.
The roadmap is "we keep making the neural networks bigger until they reach a similar scale to the human brain, and keep improving the training so that it outputs text/image/video/audio/action tokens that are as good as average humans and then as good as the best humans".

Ten years ago, if presented with that roadmap, you could say "there's no way that will work even slightly", and lots of smart people would have agreed with you.

Now, though, the skeptical case is "yes, that has worked reliably for the past 5 years, and yes people have been saying in each of those years that scaling had reached its limit in that year, and yes those people were wrong every time, but I'm sure that *this* year I've correctly identified the point on the scaling curve where the trend suddenly breaks. There's just something about this particular point, coincidentally just before human level multimodal capability, that can't be passed, unlike all the other false barriers in the past".
