It's already an absurd thought to believe an operating system can be developed sans this new technology given today's reality. Enjoy the memes, I hope they make the change easier.
Operating Systems had been developed for decades without AI. Nothing about the presence of AI or "today's reality" makes this impossible to continue doing.
ok, I respect your thought. It very much sounds like the farmer arguing that crops were harvested for thousands of years without tractors to me.
Would you tell such a farmer that it's absurd to believe crops can be harvested without tractors in today's reality?
I'd tell the farmer that it's absurd to think you can operate in the modern economy without modern tools.
I got a business degree in Dallas and worked as a Systems Engineer in San Francisco for 14 years. I neither expect the farmer nor the nerd to understand macroeconomics.
