Creator of Window's Task Manager shows off 'probably what Task Manager would look like if I were still around' — Tempest AI's retro-futuristic dashboard code shared to Github

Tempest AI dashboard.

Dave Plummer, the creator of the original Task Manager, has created a dashboard for his personal AI project designed to beat the old Atari classic game Tempest. He shared a picture of it on X, saying that this is what the Windows utility would look like now if he were still at Microsoft. You can see it on Tempest AI's dashboard for yourself live, alongside the code for Tempest AI, on Plummer’s GitHub.

This is probably what Task Manager would look like (and sound like) if I were still around. Which is why it's a good thing I knew to stay in my lane, design-wise :-)Live display: https://t.co/E6EOfRoi3MCode: on my github pic.twitter.com/Ke6R2F9y1ZFebruary 16, 2026
