A.I. and big tech does not want you to have computing power to challenge their digital hegemony.
They will start pushing dumber and dumber devices and making development boxes so out of reach that only mega-wealth can afford to buy them.
Dumb devices will not be able to run shitty vibe coded OSes and apps. Your modern Android phones has orders of magnitude more computing power than 20 years old PDA despite having the same (or even less) functionality. Or even compared to 10 year old Android device. Software has been becoming slower and more bloated for decades, and it's only going to accelerate with "ai".
There will be more software restrictions and locked down "ecosystems" but I don't see the hardware becoming weaker. There is no going back.
It could when you're literally just running a basic OS and everything else is in "the cloud". Like that Windows 365 box Microsoft released recently that doesn't actually run Windows itself
And who is going to create this perfect and resource efficient OS? Literally all tech corporations are headed in the opposite direction. All proprietary consumer OSes are getting more bloated by the hour, and their developers are being replaced with incompetent vibe coders.
Incompetent? I'll have you know that I'm a prompt engineer. 😏
I'm not amateur. I end every query with "and no bugs, please."
Does it at least apologize to you when it adds bugs anyway?
Imagine if people who know how to use search engine properly called themselves "search engine prompt engineer". Maybe people who are good at communicating should start calling themselves "human interface prompt engineer".
Social engineer
It already exists, just the shitty cut down operating systems used by existing thin clients
