There is no GUI in anything you're saying. How is this 'the new GUI'?

It's the next paradigm in how people interact with computers.

100%. It's so natural, even to complete noobs that's it's hard to go back.

What issues did you have with macinacloud? In was considering using that to build and sign some dmgs and test my app and would love to know what your experience was like

Ok, I actually tried MacinCloud again and had much better luck. Instead of the pay as you go plan which you need to spend $30 minimum on, I got the $60 dedicated server which allows me to install software, and in turn I was able to test my software without buying a Mac, yay!

Hah funny I ended up giving it a go and ended up having a lot of trouble - connection issues, display issues, etc. They tried rebooting the machine but no luck.

Just bough a used mac today!

Except it's not. Even though us commandlinebros made fun of GUIs back when they came out, GUIs still have the property of being precise and unambiguous (to the machine, to the human requires design finesse and clear guidelines). There's no "Oopsie-boopsie! I made a little fucky-wucky and accidentally your entire production database, even though you told me not to do that!" with a CLI or GUI. With CLI and GUI, screwups of that sort are entirely PEBKACs. The fucky-wucky factor needs to be controlled in LLMs so that it's possible to communicate your exact intent to the machine and get the expected result every time. Of course if that's ever achieved we will have reinvented command processors "with extra steps".
