This is where WSL pulls its mask off. Windows will become (even more so) the platform of choice by being a "more compatible" version of Linux than Linux. And AI developers don't seem to have much affinity for open-source. Why would they care about being stuck on Microsoft and Nvidia's proprietary platforms when they're building their own proprietary models?
- seanw444 3y agoGreat point. WSL has always been a wolf in sheeps clothing, in my eyes. I'm not saying it's not useful. It certainly fills a role people clearly wanted filled. But you'd be naive to think Microsoft isn't taking on an "embrace, extend, extinguish" mentality. Again.
