i bring this up every time its relevant but remember when cawthon did the extremely bitch move to bring up his barely pregnant wife in his non-apology, making it as if it would be my fault if she miscarried because he is too stupid to know how donation records work
![I’m going to be frank here: except in an ideological, pro-AI sense that devalues labor, I do not think any of these vibe coded decomp projects are actually good for Microsoft generally or Windows and Xbox specifically. This initiative seems so vague as to be undefinable, and the XBOX LABS splash page itself does not reveal much except a place to put your email and a bunch of footage of existing Microsoft properties put through an overly slick and tacky code effect. But if we are to take Sharma at her word that she is influenced by seeing projects like Mario in Elden Ring and software that theoretically shatters the cage of existing software ecosystems and “challenge[s] our existing business models”, then that sucks for Windows, because nobody on earth actually enjoys using Windows or the basic business model that underpins the entire operating system.
Windows exists on the back of countless, tiny de facto monopolies. If the future of coding is limitless and agentic like these people believe, then nobody would ever install Windows 11 ever again. If they believe that these models are capable of producing infinite, good, complex software at a fraction of the cost, then they are conceding on some level that the rent-seeking nature of their existing software and OS ecosystem is inevitably cooked. And if they think that Copilot is going to be good or profitable enough to make up for a world where software is produced on demand, they have yet to realize that Copilot sucks ass and is a joke even among people who enjoy using AI.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k6kg5ccozcphfcmp4zyx3s64/bafkreify5mo2jjnatjjwik3reiczn5wmwmrb3eiu2stvqewwa5i23l4yza)
