I dunno .32% in a single month seems pretty significant. Obviously it's not like Windows is going to go the way of the dodo but it's looking like Linux may be taking a permanent piece of the pie where it had no staying power before.
Before LLMs people were often saying this about people smarter than the rest of the group. “Yeah he was too smart and overengineered solutions that no one could understand after he left,”.
Wut. At software shops the prevailing atmosphere is that you should use it and broadcast it as much as possible. This person's experience is not normal
"Some random people were wrong about something in the past so nobody is allowed to speculate that any technology isn't as revolutionary as it's hyped to be ever again" is not a useful or compelling argument.

Mainstream media. For instance when Dario Amodei says AI is going to replace x% of jobs by 2027 the media prints it and doesn't ask why he thinks that or ask where the numbers come from. It's wild speculation and it does not get treated as such.
They also mindlessly broadcast whatever lies the CEOs of the big tech company's are telling. Do you complain about that pattern too? No? You just don't like anything negative about AI? Interesting.
Someone using a lightbulb isn't a hypocrite if they say it is irresponsible to use the resources to power a computer, and someone using the internet isn't a hypocrite if they say the absurdly higher resource usage of llm inference is irresponsible.
You can call people hypocrites all day if you pretend that scale isn't a concept, but you're obviously wrong.
