Obviously, what you perceive as obviousness may not be obvious to others.

Out of curiosity, why x86? Is it the preponderance of resources? The weird instruction format? The complexity of the boot sequence? Are you specifically trying to mimic DOS?
A support for the ARM architecture (aarch) is coming soon too.
Wow! How do you support a DOS-like OS across multiple architectures when DOS itself is tightly tied to interactions among the program, the system code, and the architecture?
The first sentence in the comment you are responding to is sarcasm. Just replace "I can't believe" with "Of course".
Do you have any evidence of this?

You'd have to articulate harm, so this is basically dead in the water (in the US). Good luck.

I honestly think it's gonna be a decade to define this domain, and it's going to come with significant productivity costs. We need a git but to prevent LLMs from stabbing themself in the face. At that point you can establish an actual workflow for unfucking agents when they inevitably fuck themselves. After some time and some battery of testing you can also automate this process. This will take time, but eventually, one day, you can have a tedious process of describing an application you want to use over and over again until it actually works.... on some level, not guaranteed to be anything close to the quality of hand-crafted apps (which is in-line with the transition from assembly to high-level and now to whatever the fuck you want to call the katamari-damacy zombie that is the browser)
And of course, now, in retrospect, the whole thing looks silly.
Private enterprise should be the last people on earth to be allowed to label themselves. I have many marketer friends I love, but I truly think the practice of trying to pimp businesses to rich individuals has been probably the biggest waste of human effort in history (outside of maybe carbon-capture efforts). We're just stuck with shitty brands, broken products, and stupid consumers who think they're getting the best.
I can’t believe riding a horse and carriage wouldn’t make you better at riding a horse.
Surely you mean "would"? Because riding a horse and carriage doesn't imply any ability at riding a horse, but the reverse relation would actually make sense, as you already have historical, experiential, intimate knowledge of a horse despite no contemporaneous, immediate physical contact.
Similarly, already knowing what you want to write would make you more proficient at operating a chatbot to produce what you want to write faster—but telling a chatbot a vague sense of the meaning you want to communicate wouldn't make you better at communicating. How would you communicate with the chatbot what you want if you never developed the ability to articulate what you want by learning to write?
EDIT: I sort of understand what you might be getting at—you can learn to write by using a chatbot if you mimic the chatbot like the chatbot mimics humans—but I'd still prefer humans learn directly from humans rather than rephrased by some corporate middle-man with unknown quality and zero liability.
