SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY Elon Musk prefers Windows because his time isn't worthless. Linux confirmed as a neckbeard NEET option!
Well, aren't you a sheep.

i guess that article or whatever was written around year 2000 ? if so, yeah, linux was shit back then.
but why is elon musks opinion here of any relevance ? he sure knows a lot about EE and other stuff, but IT ? not sure about that
>>55014490
My deodorant is musk, lol. Can't take a man with that name seriously.

>>55014706
well, torvalds is right, we aren't even close to creating something that could be actually called intelligent.

I myself think that the singularity can't be done on transistor tech.
Who knows what is gonna be discovered once people stop sucking semiconducting dicks tho.
>>55014639
Actually in the late 90s / early 00s linux was a solid workstation driver. It only began to turn into a turd around 2005.
>>55015213
kinda true, but so were windows 98 und 2k and to be fair, compared to them linux was bad and hard to use.
So Musk willingly handed all his company's proprietary knowledge to Microsoft?
>argumentum ad verecundiam
Don't fall for cheap memes /g/
>>55014490
First of all: FUCK Elon. He's a big government cuck who praises Norway(or Sweden whatevs) for banning internal combustion engines. Yeah the guy has had a few moments of glory, but Tesla and his messianic complex have done it for me, i'm not admiring that smug fuck any longer. Thanks for the vertical landing thingi, now GTFO!
>>55017198
Your confused. Neither Norwary nor Sweden have banned ICE.

Linux is the expensive premium option. It's like driving an exotic car - you have a superior machine, but you need highly paid specialists to keep it running properly.
Windows is a ford focus.
Elon Musk is a businessman. He cares about the bottom line and will deal with everything else as it comes along,
>but it JUUUST WEEEEEEEEEEEEEERKS
>>55017303
that was the green part trying to get votes
it'll never happen. ICE is an insignificant source of pollution when done correctly, especially in smaller nations. manufacturing batteries is irreparably bad for the environment, Co2 is maybe temporarily bad. carbon recapture and reuse applies to pollution from many sources, not just cars, and will be done anyways. cleaning up after battery manufacturing operations is a little less likely to happen. old ICE cars can be converted and retrofitted to be environmentally friendly with minimal downsides (except diesel lol), electric is fucked if you need to make a whole new fucking battery.
electric vehicles are meme tech. more expensive and damaging in the long run unless we ignore the battery option and wait for hydrogen fuel.
>>55014706
Why does he mention the singularity and AI with "human-like" intelligence in the same breath? I thought they were separate matters. You certainly don't need a singularity to have human-like AI.
>>55014748
Right but that's not necessarily because wiring that kind of mind is remarkably more difficult to do than one purpose built to just be a good (albeit versatile / powerful) machine and nothing else.
It's because we don't have a full understand of our own mind and of sentience; in some cases the unknowns are unknown. But it's not inconceivable that a revolution in understanding within the decade might even make the task relatively trivial with enough talent, time, and money invested.
>>55017410
I get your point, and it really seems like a green-commie clusterfuck party trying to earn votes. I'm just sad to see Elon praise such cuckestry only because it benefits Tesla and his world savior narrative. I bet more of this fuckery is coming soon.
BTW: Compressed air cars would solve both problems.

i don't think we can ever actually understand the human mind as long as modern medical ethics are in place
>>55017362
windows is a beer crate with wheels
>>55014490
There's a reason why 95% of businesses use Windows - it actually fucking works.
Linux is shit-tier hobbyist bullshit that is totally unusable in a business environment.

What year was this?

When you are a busy adult, you don't have time to tinker around computers like mommy's basement neckbeards.

Slovakia. Err... I mean, Czech mate.

>Elon Musk prefers Windows because his time isn't worthless.
And apparently his documents are worthless.
Plus their software is bloated as fuck. Got a Yoga 300 for my mother the other day - it barely functions with windows 10. What a shitty fucking OS.
>>55014748
This.
The problem is stupid AIs not smart ones.
Because smart ones might actually think just like people to a degree. A stupid one with enough mechanical flexibility could be catastrophic.
>>55015211
>I myself think that the singularity can't be done on transistor tech.
I get the feeling people will probably combine themselves with AI to a certain extent - possibly creating this means.
Though the "grey goo" might be an issue.
>>55017362
Linux is a bucket to carry water.
Windows is more of a sponge - hopeless at carrying water efficiently.
Mac is a potato.
>>55017198
>Thanks for the vertical landing thingi, now GTFO!
did you mean GTO
>>55022140
nailed, especially the potato
>>55021146
What the actual fuck?
Congrats. That is the dumbest thing I've read all week.
