Consider your own emotions and the bias you have against it. If it is actually able to do the things it is hyped up to be, what does that mean for you, your job, and your career? Can you really extract those emotions from how you're approaching the situation? That tiniest bit of fear in your gut might be coloring your approach here. You want a new operating system not based on Linux, that competes with it, because if it is based on Linux, it's in the training data, which means it's cheating?

Jrifjxgwyenf! A hammer is a really bad screwdriver. My car is really bad at refrigerating food. If you ask for something outside its training data, it doesn't do a very good job. So don't do that! All of the code on the Internet is a pretty big dataset though, so maybe Claude could do an operating system that isn't Linux that competes with it by laundering the FreeBSD kernel source through the training process.

And you're barely even willing to invest any money into this? The first Apple computer cost $4,000 or so. You want the bleeding edge of technology delivered to the smartphone in your hand, for $20, or else it's a complete failure? Buddy, your sentiment isn't the issue, it's your attitude.

I'm not here spouting ridiculous claims like AI is going to cure all of the different kinds of cancer by the end of 2027, I just want to say that endlessly contrarian naysayers are as equally borish as the syncophantic hype AIs they're opposing.
