I still have a dual-boot desktop that I keep a copy of Windows 10 on for one or two bits of software that I can't get 100% working in Wine, and yeah I'm definitely not upgrading. For one thing I can't because it's an older CPU that doesn't have TPM on it, but also because of the AI thing.

The idea that Microsoft is expecting me to purchase new hardware (which is now ludicrously expensive because of companies like Microsoft going all-in on AI slop) so that I can 'upgrade' and make it easier for them to use their AI slop spyware to harvest my info is so preposterously arrogant and evil that I actually find it super funny.

It's like if someone was going to rob you and they expected you to go purchase and supply the gun they use to stick you up with lol.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
