Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Oh hey, I got one of those buttons on my new laptop that literally never booted into Windows. Pressing it Linux says it's "Meta + CTRL" (I think), which is pretty useful. Got it for the good price/performance/build-quality ratio.

Didn't yet find a good use for that fancy NPU, the XDNA driver just arrived a month ago or so. Perhaps for use with Upscayl or something actually useful.

These "AI Computers" are a solution looking for a problem. The marketing people naming these "AI" computers think that AI is just some magic fairy dust term you can add to a product and it will increase demand.

What's the "killer features" of these new laptops, and what % price increase is it worth?
