This is an interesting project and it's always neat to see things that are able to compile down to WASM for running in the browser. However, looking through the docs for Flavour and this feels like it would get very painful very quickly trying to write anything of substance.
MS owes people a working basic Windows ecosystem. We need to find the Middle Manager Driven Development that's responsible for this nonsense and put an end to it.
You think a shift like this is coming from middle management? Feels like an executive driven strategy shift towards recurring revenue, subscriptions, advertising, data collection, app stores, and away from the old OS licensing business model to me.
I don't really agree with that. The infinite growth mindset is just capitalism and the current market realities being executed by the board and the C-Suite.
Dysfunctional middle management is motivated more by protecting their job, kingdom building, and promotions.
Really like how they were so excited to release this that they managed to break existing SKUs and cause a bunch of GCP customers to get billed at 100x rates for text tokens as flash image generation tokens.
The first big AI disaster has already happened and it is the thousand little cuts from people putting faith into systems that aren't built to be trustworthy. It is the software dev missing a critical safety check because "ai coding tools" at work have promised 10x delivery results and now they must use them or be seen as falling behind. It is the engineering manager throwing concrete flexural strength questions into the unaccountable void of ChatGPT because he doesn't want to pay for the overtime of asking someone accountable. It is the foolhardy amount of money being shoveled into the entire ecosystem that absolutely cannot provide the returns people need for any of it to make financial sense.

I agree with your point, but per your own words that isn’t a big disaster but multiple little ones. Each person might have learned about some of them but only in passing and without too much information.
“The big one” will be something which everyone will be made aware of from the news, like the CrowdStrike outage.
This is the research part of research and development, this time though it's sort of like a distributed Manhattan project happening in the open. Research takes a lot of money. Anyone can jump in and help improve these models and the ecosystem.
No true Scotsman and straw man argumentative fallacies rolled into one. The whole point of doing this research out in the open is to share scientific advancements, provide better accountability and accelerate the development of safe and capable artificial intelligence.
Don't forget the also fun classic "what you want to do is not possible with scoped tokens so enjoy your PAT". I think we're now at year 3 of PATs being technically deprecated but still absolutely required in some use cases.
This idea does not belong to me. If lawmakers and regulators allow companies to use these IPs, how can you keep ordinary people away from them? Something created by AI is regarded as if it was created from scratch by human hands. that's reality.
I will never not be forever saddened by the fact that Apple killed their Xserve line shortly before the App store got big. We all ended up having to do dumb things like rack-mount Mac Minis for app CI builds for years and it was such a pain.
