It is funny though. Microsoft being undermined by the very thing they’re using to undermine working class people.

    Funny seeing people losing their shit yet again in front of "AI" claims...

    Like all the other spectacular previous claims that is not mentioned: it's a bird with half wings - it does not fly.

    I also created a Photoshop clone, the only caveat is it crashes at start, BUT I TOTALLY DID IT!

    Did you try it? No. You concluded that if it works, your worldview breaks, so it cannot work.

    But someone tried it.

    (Don't look at the post I linked, your fragile worldview can't handle that)

    I watched the video (partially because I can't stand it, such annoying video).

    So what's your point?? Go use it if that's your turf, don't come around insulting me for no reason.

    Do you have a skin in that fame? Why are you so uptight about a vibecoded project? And you are all on the defensive while telling me I have a fragile worldview he he... Projection? Maybe?

    There are ton of missing features, buggy ones, crashes.. What's the point of your dummy doing some tests on the slop?

    My point was/is: it seems easy to claims victory these days with half a winning battle.

    My point still hold, while yours seem moot.

    Good day my little world shattering wannabe ;)

    I have a simple reason, I hate closed software, I hate adobe, I hate microsoft. Like every real free software advocate.

    Did it crash on startup? No? Well then you lied. You lied for adobe, bootlicker.

    And of course your worldview won't fall apart that easily, you can always just apply another layer of cope.

    If you read again, you realize I am not talking about what they slopped, I was saying that I did mine and it is crashing at start, see by yourself:

    I also created a Photoshop clone, the only caveat is it crashes at start, BUT I TOTALLY DID IT!

    That's text comprehension, I am just going to end this charade right aboutttt... Here.
