This is a weird metaphor - why do you think people buy matcha at coffeeshops or use peptides? Those two things don't have anything obvious to do with each other, let alone with Omarchy.
I think OpenAI’s does not have ANY moat. They are currently a leader but lack the piles of cash required to stay a leader in the medium/long-term. (They can not in anyway compete with AWS/Alphabet on that front, and they know that too.)
Researchers and engineer will want big comp, as they can get it elsewhere, if you stop paying that, then you loose the knowledge necessary to stay a leader, even though it’s a losing race in the long-term anyway.
The company will become a growing pile of non-SOTA techniques and models + old hardware in no time.
It doesn’t schedule tasks, doesn’t deal with physical memory, it doesn’t initialize hardware or interface with it on a low level. This is just an app that lives in user-space, nothing more.
Calling this an OS is like calling Gmail an OS.
It doesn’t make any sense.
But since OSes are notoriously difficult to define [1], half of America added AI slop to diets that were already repulsive to begin with, regurgitates the chyme, and passionately feeds it to their peers, you may even get away with it nowadays.
Well it sort of does. It allocates sandboxes and schedules apps in them. It handles loading code from storage and turning it into running programs with state.

Instead of devices it manages interfacing with external services (Gatekeepers are like drivers).
I didn't choose the name but I do think there's a fair analogy here even on a technical level.
> Instead of devices it manages interfacing with external services (Gatekeepers are like drivers).
This required stretching the terminology so much that now, by your definition, any software that interfaces with anything else in a restricted/controlled manner is OS-like because that's just like interfacing with hardware.
I get why they chose the word - this is marketing, they want to make it appear foundational, as a cornerstone of every interaction you do. But I don't think it's a fair comparison - the OS is the lowest level layer of any computer (barring firmware and the likes) and it manages nearly everything that happens between the user and the computer, the OS is mandatory to use the computer and it runs basically everything. This is just an app - a very sophisticated app that manages other things, but still just a layer over existing systems. If they get to call this an OS, then maybe Microsoft could call the bundle of their Office suite and all the enterprise software an OS too, I'm sure there's enough functionality, depth, features and app-driven oversight over data for it to qualify.
The addition that the last names are Asian is insane and just put there to make the opposite party look bad. Ironically, all it does is reflect the spirit of OpenAI.
Agree but how many times are the same articles and opinions reaching the top. It feels like we’re in a loop and it’s boring me out reading the same thing over and over and over again.
I'm not that guy but I've advised end users submitting tickets to prompt inject the importance of the ticket so that it gets triaged higher by lazy people only using AI and not actually reviewing.
Not sure how efficacious but I know the reviewer is just relying on the AI decision.
Or they could just explain in the ticket why it's important instead of trying to trick an AI? AIs and humans will both read your explanation of why we should care and use that to prioritize.
If you have to lie to get your tickets fixed, that sounds like either you're bad at explaining why things are important, or you're working on things you shouldn't be.
Yeah, but now it’s more confidently slowing us down… It kind of sucks. Someone else said that non-SMEs can’t filter through the noise and may actually mistake the AI slop for signal, which worsens the problem.
Practically every distro suffers from critical LPEs, but at least there’s a bar.
Omarchy is a hot mess that exists for the same reason that matcha is in our coffeeshops and peptides are in our collective memory.
