This sounds right until you realise how much market share Windows captured, held and now even solidifies from the Ballmer era.

I don't agree with you, and I believe the Ballmer era did wonders for Windows and was a turbulent period. The new era of MS now is quite stable because of this.

"cut a deal" is an idiom.

"cuts ____ deals" is not and more closely resembles the removal of deals related to ____.

No, a program that copies files is quite different to a human that writes those files data down and recalls them.

It'll be okay. We "destroyed" photography by uploading to places like Instagram and Facebook but photography as a whole is still alive. It turns out even though there is lots of stealing, the world still spins and people still seek out original creators.

You actually don't have to rebuild anything in Factorio. That's your personal decision.

Working on tourist visas is illegal... ?

What's the difference between buying an iPhone and taking one from the Apple store? You get an iPhone at the end of both.

The same time the rest of the world did, around the period of WW2. You being in an isolated bubble is irrelevant.

What a weird reply.

Huh?

Did you not read the context of the comments you're replying to or something?

People using the tool isn't the same as those people being replaced by the tool. Why would anyone think those are the same?

Our world?

You created something from scratch that used several boilerplate components with general use cases.

The amount of times professional devs do this is probably almost nil on the scale of the world.

Really? That's possibly the easiest task you could have asked it to do.

Yeah. The only way this revolution doesn't happen is if humans are cheaper, easier to manage or source. And I'm pretty sure AI is already beating a human in all those categories doing the same job.

Our jobs aren't replaced yet because they can't be.

If you think the revolution starts with 8 billion people you're just plain wrong.

It starts with the first world and is very perceivable.

How did we perceive cars replacing horses? Well for one they were replaced in the first world... now imagine how fast a piece of software can change reality.

It's not there yet, and you can't perceive it because so.

Had a white van with huge antennas parked out front for a few days when they were refusing to believe that a large share house of young people didn't watch TV. This was in 2015. We didn't own a TV nor watch.

The van soon left after a few days but left a full bottle of yellow liquid. Makes a fun story, but yeah they threaten you a bunch and it's quite sad.

That's what I thought too, but how can there be such significant shadows? Wouldn't the shadows of any wavelength they are sending be near nothing?
