This sounds right until you realise how much market share Windows captured, held and now even solidifies from the Ballmer era.

I don't agree with you, and I believe the Ballmer era did wonders for Windows and was a turbulent period. The new era of MS now is quite stable because of this.

"cut a deal" is an idiom.

Really? That's possibly the easiest task you could have asked it to do.

Yeah. The only way this revolution doesn't happen is if humans are cheaper, easier to manage or source. And I'm pretty sure AI is already beating a human in all those categories doing the same job.

Our jobs aren't replaced yet because they can't be.

If you think the revolution starts with 8 billion people you're just plain wrong.

It starts with the first world and is very perceivable.

How did we perceive cars replacing horses? Well for one they were replaced in the first world... now imagine how fast a piece of software can change reality.

It's not there yet, and you can't perceive it because so.

I know, I think this was always a joke, especially with the yellow liquid.

Yeah, but there are more atoms than grains of sand. We can still be grains of sand in someone's universe.
