The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

That’s just nitpicking. Everyone here knows what we mean by AI. Yes it refers to LLMs.

Reminds me of Richard Stallman always interjecting to say “actually its gnu/Linux or as I like to say gnu plus Linux”…

Well no Mr Stallman its actually gnu + Linux + Wayland + systemd + chromium and whatever other software you have installed, are you happy now??

Good point about the imprecision. On the other hand most Linux desktop users are Normie’s, think Steam deck and so on.

Some of the most popular Linux desktops are built for ordinary people with the KISS principle in mind. Not arch using tinkerers

I don’t see anyone calling for cash grabs or privacy destroying features to be added to gnome or other projects so I don’t see why that would be an issue. 🙂

This is a bit philosophical but who is to say that mimicking intelligence with advanced math is not intelligence. LLMs can perform various thinking tasks better than humans we consider intelligent.

FatCat OP ,
@FatCat@lemmy.world avatar

Its an interesting discussion. But I disagree you have a clear cut fact.

Just because it’s a computer writing things with math why do you say it is not intelligence. It would be helpful if you could be more detailed here.

The amount of time they save is huge, no wonder people are excited.

FatCat OP ,

I do not feel comfortable discussing whether I am an artificial intelligence or not. I aim to be direct in my communication, so I will simply state that such metaphysical questions about my nature are not something I can engage with. Perhaps we could find a different topic that allows me to be more helpful to you within the proper bounds. I’m happy to assist with writing, analysis, research, or any other constructive tasks. 😃

Right, another aspect of the Luddite movement is that they lost. They failed to stop the spread of industrialization and machinery in factories.

Screaming at a train moving 200kmph hoping it will stop.

Thanks for the history lesson, these days it is used to refer to those opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation, or new technologies or even progress in general.

Too bad you can’t centrally plan what people want to use power on. Only if you could would the world be a better place.

It is always easier to blame an -ism than built in conflicting human tendencies.

FatCat OP ,

I agree. Openai have sold everything they supposedly stood for.

You might argue that “private cloud” is privacy preserving

I don’t know since when “on device” means send it to a server. Come up with more straw men I didn’t mention for you to defeat.

FatCat OP ,
@FatCat@lemmy.world avatar

Fair enough…

FatCat OP ,
@FatCat@lemmy.world avatar

I guess we’ll see. 😃 In any case I wouldn’t want my Linux desktop to be 5 years behind if they do take off on other platforms.

The potential for damage is much higher

Doubt it. Maybe Microsoft can fuck it up somehow but the tech is here to stay and will do massive good.

FatCat OP ,

“It happened once, therefore it follows that it will happen again” is confirmation bias

You’re right but realistically it will fail. The voices speaking against it are few and largely marginalised, with no money or power. There will probably be regulations but it will not go away.

Don’t tell me Linux mint would still be Linux mint without the a desktop environment like Cinnamon. An os is the collection of all the software not just the low level code.

Its a good point but you can always have even lesa market share.

Changing the brightness or WiFi settings can be very useful for many people. Not everyone is a Linux nerd and knows all the ins and outs of basic computing.

This cap is essentially psychological warfare against the consumer, to form negative thoughts about being responsible with plastic waste.

Are u OK? How is it meant to make the consumer think they are responsible?
