Logically only 60 or so years remain before AI can take over 100% of jobs. Assuming that we're all replaceable cogs where every job and every worker are equivalent.
The other factor, a constant rate of growth in AI's capabilities, is probably less of a hand-wave than you might think because we're going to be constrained on the sizes of the models, computational power of the servers, and of course electricity to run it all. We'll probably see a very brief exponential growth of AI then a slow as physical constraints kick in, we're already see exponential money burned on the problem with a likely linear pay off. Jensen's "The more you buy, the more you save." will probably work out as "The more you buy, your more you spent." for most AI bets.

/bin/bash is still installed, so people's typical shell scripts like command-line installers and whatnot still work.
I think the default being zsh is that it's less buggy and has some nice interface features.
The real question we should ask is not why Apple includes zsh by default, but why Ubuntu makes you install it before you can use it.

Starting your career as a barely literate dumb ass isn't going to be stacking the deck in your favor.
I managed to get pretty far in life that way, but I have spent years playing catch-up and reading like a fiend because everyone around me is better educated, more knowledgeable, and often smarter than me.

Apple has a handful of GPL programs and publishes their modifications. Bash being the most obvious example.

My tablet is usually used on my desktop. But a laptop is clearly not designed for a desktop, hence the name.
My favorite desktop device is a pad of paper and pencil. I even have a pencil sharpener to go with it on my desktop.

There are a lot of Linux users that don't hang out in the same bars as you. It's just like being gay, not everyone is out there and active in the community.

What in the world are people thinking? I'm not sure letting people have money is a good idea anymore.

Globalization happened. You can't rewind the clock and pretend it didn't. The situation we operate under now is different than what we had in the mid-20th century.

When a cop asks you what time it is, simply respond: "I do not answer questions and I invoke my to remain silent."

Oh dear, I might find myself in a bit of trouble then.

Soon all games will be recycled AI stuff. Get used to it...

If only I had to do it once. But no, most updates (especially dist-upgrades) have me do that all over again time after time.

Also, the fact that I gave only one example doesn't necessarily mean there is only one. I could talk about having to troubleshoot grub in busybox because an update borked the config. I can imagine my father in front of the busybox shell all day long. He'll just buy another computer.

ok I get what you are saying, but your common use is most certainly not anywhere near "average" common usage.

Just try to configure a 4.0 surround sound setup. On windows it's just a couple of clicks. On Ubuntu it's at least a couple of ChatGPT questions involving a new software to install and obscure settings to define.

No, it's nowhere as complete and polished from a personal computer peripheral point of view.

That said, printing on my epson network printer required no download whatsoever, so I guess YMMV

If your computer id idling, they will find a way to fill that void. Trust them.
