  • I keep seeing these comments where AI is hailed as the next industrial revolution, but I think they all miss the point.

    Industrialization created jobs. There were fewer skilled jobs lost than new skilled jobs created. It then created the need for more knowledge based jobs, like civil engineers.

    The AI lobby is doing the opposite. It targets higher paid skilled jobs. If they were to succeed, they would give birth to the opposite of the Industrial Revolution.












  • What you describe is a very recent phenomenon. They all were Windows exclusive until around when Microsoft announced the Windows 10 EoL date. Up to that point, pretty much every single video touching Linux, and especially those with Linus as the protagonist, were quite negative, sometimes for no reason at all, e.g. when he complained about UI elements that weren’t aligned with the Windows UX.

    And this isn’t new either. Linus has a bias, like everyone else, and that’s fine, but one cannot play personal preferences as the gold standard, see his long term opinion about the iPhone vs Android, or his early videos trying to use Linux. The latter especially are famous in the Linux community of creators, you can find several reaction videos commenting on the topic.
