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

Dave Plummer, creator of the original Task Manager, has designed a retro-futuristic dashboard for his AI project inspired by the old Atari game Tempest. He shared the dashboard on X, envisioning how Task Manager might look if he were still at Microsoft. The dashboard, available on Plummer's GitHub, features a unique aesthetic with RGB elements and a distinctive soundtrack. While the design is a fun "what-if" scenario for Windows enthusiasts, it does not function as a performance monitor like the traditional Task Manager. Plummer noted that the dashboard consumes a significant amount of GPU resources when running.
