The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who's buying a MacBook it's not doing it because "it's an AI PC". Should have included all gaming PCs then...

The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh... They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said "10000000000000000000000% yoy increase"

Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.
- You need to go headless immutable, that's the key.
- Zero trust PC
- So you went from Chromebook to a cryptomalware infested PC?

What even is a fucking AI pc?
- I'm a PC, you're a MAC
  
  Does a Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon count as a 'PC' to you?
- Don't tell anyone, but I suspect it's a pc with a GPU. Maybe even a hard drive. Wild!

Remember when Google+ had billions of users because Google counted Gmail users as Google+ users?
- I was surprised when I accidentally clicked on it and saw my profile.

In retrospect this is the type of news you would expect if AI was secretly taking over the world.
- It always was going to, because of the amount of money thrown at it (and the amount of money that could be saved by firing workers to try to replace them with AI software). Only now are folks actually talking about what was found in the product announcements (because now there's a reason to).
