And we can make so much money when oil is expensive too!

Real galaxy-brain stuff. ~/s~

It's so versatile too. I could see this hanging on the wall at work with "git push" or "./build.sh" under it and it would just make sense.

Probably wouldn't pass the HR sniff test but you get the idea, lol.

PC OEMs could totally ship their machines with linux installed, or even with multiple distros to choose from at first boot. And one of those options could even be Windows 11, the user would just need to enter a key or buy a license after booting up.

It's just a question of motivation. Do they think their customers want it, and do they expect Microsoft to make their life more difficult if they try?

Honestly now with so much of the civilized world looking to break dependency on US tech, I hope that Europe sees a big push towards mainstream off the shelf linux devices.

For most of us on Lemmy, buying a PC with no OS installed is like buying a car with an empty fuel tank and/or battery. It's ready to preform at 100% in about 10 minutes.

For most other people, it feels more like buying a car that's completely missing an engine/motor/battery. They don't even know where to start, even though in the case of the PC the process is many orders of magnitude simpler.

Well obviously, but what I want to know is if the USA being the BFG-9000 of Israel was a planned goal of the whole Epstein "honeypot for powerful psychopaths" operation or if it was just convenient timing.

The preview for the reply notification for this comment started getting my brain so excited when my eyes scanned over the beginning. Screen grab:

That sounds like an almost refreshing "you're one of us now / welcome to the real thing" type of brutal honesty.

Did it have a friendly tone and/or serve as an ice breaker before your presentation?

I'm no expert and don't care to become one, but I understand they generally trained these models on the entire public internet plus all the literature and research they could pirate.

So I would expect the outputs of those models to not be some kind of magical correct description of the world, but instead to be roughly "this passes for something a person on the internet might write."

It does the thing it was designed to do pretty well. But then the sociopathic grifters tried to sell it to the world as a magic super-intelligence that actually knows things. And of course many small-time wannabe grifters ate it up.

What LLMs do is get you a passable elaborate forum post replying to your question, written by an extremely confident internet rando. But it's done at computer speed and global scale!

"Huge rich company responsible for hosting like half of the fucking internet spent the last year pushing code to global-scale production without so much as a review by a senior engineer."

That's how I read that headline.

This is a new image/meme for me and I like it. The hand gesture gives it a little bit of a "witches vs patriarchy" vibe too. I don't know if that means more or less coming from a random old cishet dude, lol.
