    The current pace of AI-driven work is not sustainable, and agents gaining autonomy should eventually make work calmer, not more frantic.

    And I do think some of that is positive and energizing, but I also think you can certainly go too far with it, and I also think the current pace is not sustainable.

    An operating system should put its users on the same level as its maker: no two-tier system where the vendor makes the real thing and you patch around it.

    A new computer taking 42 minutes to become usable is unreasonable when the machine is a trillion times faster than what went to the moon; an operating system should install in one minute.

    We do not have to accept that these computers that are literally a trillion times faster than what sent us to the freaking moon have to take 42 minutes before they're ready after you unbox it. No, unreasonable. These computers are so damn fast, they should feel damn fast.

    Intel's Panther Lake has finally matched Apple on power efficiency, so a new laptop should have one.

    What's really important is that if you get a new computer, a new laptop, you get one with an Intel Panther Lake chip. That is the revelation that um just leaped in the Intel side forward. Intel has finally matched Apple on efficiency in terms of uh power usage
