Sounds like an hypothesis rather than a theory.

We plan to be a wildly successful company, but if we get it wrong, that’s on us.

That’s incorrect. If OpenAI get this wrong, they won’t (be able to) make investor whole. People would loose part of their savings if they’re exposed to OpenAI through direct or indirect investments.

Even if they get it right, everyone suffers from the pollution caused by AI datacenters, and from the opportunity cost since investors are pouring resources in this hyped technology rather than more reponsible things like renewables, energy efficiency, …

Waste of money, and waste of ink.

Of course cooking is preferable, but it’s not possible everyday for everyone. Everyone’s situation is different.

Food to go is a good option on days when cooking is not convenient/possible.

The first and only thing I ask when a company does this is: how can I ask a question to a human representative?

Pull the plug on datacenters that depend on polluting energy sources.

It doesn’t end on the last installation screen. Then it takes lots of time and digging to scrub bloatware, and to change many settings to make Windows less invasive since the defaults are bad.

There’s a standard API for offline webapps: ServiceWorker https://dev.to/taiwofamaks/build-an-offline-first-web-app-with-service-workers-2ml7

Meanwhile, Microsoft is making 400 million PCs obsolete by ending Win10 and setting arbitrary requirements for Win11. This is causing perfectly fine hardware (and RAM) to end-up as e-waste, so that it can be replace by new, more expensive Win11 compatible hardware.
