I admire your positivity. I do not share it though, because from what I have seen, because even if there are open weights, the one with the biggest datacenter will in the future hold the most intelligent and performance model.

Very similar to how even if storage space is very cheap today, large companies are holding all the data anyway.

AI will go the same way, and thus the megacorps will and in some extent already are owning not only our data, but our thoughts and the ability to modify them.

I mean, sponsored prompt injection is just the first thought modifying thing, imagine Google search sponsored hits, but instead it's a hyperconvincing AI response that subtly nudges you to a certain brand or way of thinking.

Absolutely terrifies me, especially with all the research Meta has done on how to manipulate people's mood and behaviour through which social media posts they are presented with

I'll just ask chatgpt to do the research and vote for me

Yeah because if everyone is extremely cheap labour everyone will prosper? :)

First I'll explain NAT, NAT is the root of all evil. Done

It's interesting how both of these guys who seems to both be firmly in the "don't break shit for the users" camp, and both are very adamant about quality of code in the kernel can't get along, saddens me a bit.

I'm excited about bcachefs, I'm even planning a migration from btrfs, but I need to battle test my offsite backup a bit more before having the guts to walk into bcachefs land.

Might wait for 6.18,6.19 or something and follow any future drama

The "if" is working overtime in your statement

But oh so lucrative, and with a catchy phrase...

I see moneybags in this idea, wonder who will first make it a reality...

And you are self-sufficient, or whatever the word is. But that's the key thing for me, not having to rely on others for my services :)

Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine

So if the AI generated summaries are better than man made summaries, this would not be an issue would it?

[–] SufferingSteve@feddit.nu 6 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Lol, the source data for all AI is starting to use AI to summarize.

Have you ever tried to zip a zipfile?

But then on the other hand, as compilers become better, they become more efficient at compiling their own source code...

Let people be excited about this if they want, I don't think it will matter that much tbh.

Let other people suggest Linux to their friends as an alternative, maybe some of them stick to using it, while others just conclude it's crap and move on.

You should really wonder why you get so upset from this though, it seems to cause you real harm that people might be wrong on the internet.
