"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, I did mention that some people prefer a more barebones experience...But, I also recognize that it doesn't fit my own use case. Based on what you said, Micro has a solid use for situations where there isn't a graphical environment or need to minimize complication when working with critical system configs. There are levels of minimalism that I can't truck with, so I will let people enjoy Micro without serious critique. Just casually poking fun at the idea...
