A fool is ever eager to give their money to that which doesn't work as intended. Provided the surrounding image provides a mystique or resonates with their internal vision of what an 'AI' is. It's pure marketing on their part, Anthropic believes that any press is good press. It makes investors drool over a refined AI, even though, Apple themselves have proven it through their many technical papers current AI is merely 'smoke and mirrors' however...For some odd reason, they are still developing their 'Apple Intelligence'. They are huffing farts just as much as Anthropic is, they have to constantly pull stunts to gaslight their investors into believing that 'AI' is going to become a viable product that will make money. Or allow them to get rid of human workers, so their bottom line looks flush (spoiler alert, they have to rehire people, as AI can't do many of the things a live person with training can).

There reason why this shit is shoved in everything is because it doesn't have good general use cases and the collection of usage data from people. Most people don't give money to AI companies, only those who have drank the Kool-Aid do, as they are hope-posting and gaslighting people into believing the current or future capabilities of 'AI'. LLMs are really great at specific things, collating fine-tuned databases and making them highly searchable by specialists in a field. However, as always the techbros always want to do too much, they need to make a 'wonder tool' that inevitably fails and then these lying techbros need to quickly figure out the next scam.

Another Anthropic stunt...It doesn't have a mind or soul, it's just an LLM, manipulated into this outcome by the engineers.

I've always had a stove top kettle, there was no reason to boil water in the microwave for tea. Up until a few years ago, I did not have a microwave. I prefer the even temperature of water boiled in a kettle.

I do! Being reasonably accurate as possible when typing is something that I value! It helps, as sometimes I am a goose on the loose, and don't proofread my sentences before posting. The obvious errors are at least caught before they become final.

They are flooding the zone, there are countless pro-AI generated content instances. It's like playing whack-a-mole, I often downvote obvious and human-altered slop (it's all slop to me). Unfortunately, there are going to be images that have positive votes despite the general dislike of said AI-slop, especially because I tend to block those slop instances these days. Naturally, most of it is objectifying women (something I don't want to see anyway) so those will naturally get a lot of votes because people weren't thinking with the right head.

Whimsical

EndeavourOS, CachyOS, and archinstall do lower the barrier to entry for Arch itself, which means that there may be really fresh users (who should probably not be on Arch) using it. As wild as it sounds, those Arch and its distros get recommended to new users that aren't technically inclined.

For the seasoned Arch users, non-critical breaks don't feel as serious, since they can fix him. It's just the new users wandering in a dark place without light (a place they shouldn't be encouraged to wander, without knowledge), that these problems are serious or can be made worse by said user misunderstanding how to apply fixes. Or prevent issues in the future.

I agree that there are likely very few serious breakages not caused by a user happening on Arch, just the potential of them happening (anything made by human hands occasionally will suffer this).

In my time of using Linux, to my knowledge, I can't recall a kernel panic. I've had my boot record break, graphics drivers simply not want to load (that was fixable, just annoying), or GNOME Display Manager crashout hard related to a memory leak. I use Ubuntu and Fedora KDE these days, at most there is an occasional bug that doesn't cause major issues. Just little annoyances that can be solved with an upcoming update or using the terminal.

That's the thing, just because there is a breakage doesn't mean there isn't a way to fix it. It just becomes a cycle of breakage and repair...Arch goes through cycles of being temporarily broken and back to working just fine. This is merely the nature of rolling release (part of the reason why I am not a rolling release distro).

Naturally, if one has the skill to fix Arch, it would be of no real concern. It might be annoying, but it seems that you can overcome those temporary disruptions caused by introduced bugs

Highly accurate, but, even if you fix him...An update will break him, as Arch Linux moves fast as hell!

That was the whole point of Project 2025, to basically gut the whole Government and make it so that Republicans were in power; for as long as the USA is still a nation. I don't know how far they are willing to take it as the discontent is growing, and that might be the spark that ignites the barrel of gunpowder. That's one outcome, the other is Republicans burning this whole nation down with bad decisions and blaming a long dead Biden for it.

Ugh, this makes me totally furious...In a way I can't describe. I've rallied hard against this bill and got others to do so as well, yet here we are getting royally fucked, by those who only care about the rich bastards in this cursed country. It's going to plan with Project 2025 that everyone was warned about. Time to up the grassroots participation and hopefully get these fuckwads out of office (if there are going to be elections).
