No, Linux wants your most precious resource. Your time!

In exchange you get to actually own your software and get to control your operating system. I would argue that this is priceless.

Looks like it costs about tree kitty.

I know you are willfully being ignorant here as AI data centers are projected to use more electricity than the entire nation of Japan by 2030.

Your own hosted LLM is not the problem nor the issue we are even discussing and quite frankly a little insulting you bring it up

I am not anymore anti-AI than any tool that you can’t determine is accurate nor correct if there is an issue with it. LLM have a long way to go before they are even a fraction of what they claim to be.

Another problem is they do not cite where they get their answers from. Without the ability to audit the answers you are given you won’t know how accurate they are.

I have listed several legitimate gripes about LLM. I find your fanboism misplaced and I think you are just playing devil’s advocate at this point. AI is a hype train and I am sick of it already.

It takes an enormous amount of energy and processing power to create these shitty snapshots so in many ways it is doom considering it will dramatically increase our energy usage.

I get it, you are an AI supporter but you fail to critically analyze it or even understand it. What tool would you use that you can’t correct errors to or even determine how it works. You are really operating on faith here that the black box your getting an answer from is giving you the correct answer.

Perhaps a code snippet works, but after this is where it all falls apart. What if the snippet does not work or causes a problem. The LLM has nothing to offer you here.

LLM are poor snapshots of a search engine with no way to fix any erroneous data. If you search something on Stack you get the page with several people providing snippets and debating the best approach. The LLM does not give you this. Furthermore if the author goes back and fixes an error in their code the search will find it whereas the LLM will give you the buggy code with no way to reasonably update it

LLM have major issues and even bigger limitations. Pretending they are some panacea is going to disappoint.

Her and her girl gonna be pissed when they don’t have no gaming. No cap, that what girls like.

Plot twist: His smart fridge is running an AI girlfriend he has fallen in love with

Does your app have an app for its app?

I am thinking the Alien with his mini mouth sticking out. But yes, the predator looks fine as well.

Great work! Somehow I feel like it would look better reversed though with the alien at the table and two predator chicks.

More like sourdough doesn’t go good with everything. Different tastes for different things.

Ease of use. When it comes to coding I prefer a GUI as well.

I used Vim when I first installed Linux. It was painful but I used it. I found Nano and I stopped using Vim. No comparison in usability.

I learned on VIM, but when I found Nano there was no going back.

When you install Windows 11 it suggests OneDrive, Office 365, and Gamepass. After it is installed it will push news articles and advertisements in your start bar. If you use Edge it will also land on a default web page used to advertise products, services, and media.

I think there are some distros of Linux like Ubuntu that does some of these things, but nowhere near what Windows does now.

Linux didn’t work on my random hardware!

Linux doesn’t have proprietary program X!

Linux didn’t work with my online game that forces you to install spyware on your computer!

Linux doesn’t let you know all the latest movies, products, and deals!

Linux didn’t make me agree to an EULA!

Something like that I guess.

The most obvious example would be the recent antitrust litigation.

But I think that falls into fighting to continue their terrible business practices.

The second is Google refusing warrants due to inadequacies. Google has stated they no longer respond to geofencing warrants although I am having a hard time finding data to back up this statement.

The third is a couple different cases involving private parties and state governments suing Google over violating privacy and illegally collecting data. Once again though, this probably falls under you definition of terrible business practices.

The fourth is Google’s transparency reports that expose request from the government. They have certainly received government pushback from this but I can’t really quantify this in any meaningful way.

Google should show what they think is right, stop giving them a free pass just because you want to. Companies have long resisted decisions issued by governments. Google has gone to court to fight many times but this does not even rise to that level.

The fact is this is the Gulf of Mexico and we should not be renaming bodies of water on someone’s racist whims. We may just have to respectfully disagree here.

Google is wrong here and no one is forcing them to do anything. They are now part of the problem along with anyone else conceding to this madman.

I do agree Aotus is the source, but everyone who goes along with it shares the blame and more importantly the shame.

So your entire point is discredited and all you can do is point fingers. By having even an ounce of self respect and just saying no would help end all this. Google and Apple are not beholden to this administration unless they want to be.

By your logic we should all load ourselves onto the trains willingly because they said so and, after all, we don’t want to get “political”

The real solution is to resist and not roll over. Pretending that act is anything other than resignation is denying the truth of what is happening.

I don’t really disagree, it is just I hope for something better than the train wreck of hate and destruction we face.

Integration would be the best way to solve the wound on humanity that has been created. I fear we have no hope if this cannot be solved peacefully. Having two societies raised to hate each other is sickening to say the least.
