@arstechnica I feel like there are significantly more issues with this than actual uses outside of the movies. Other than probably just a small handful of special scenarios it just seems like it's not going to be all that useful.
Neat though.

@itsfoss Is it really FOSS if it's a closed API that you can't download and run offline, sends personal info online, and will probably change and stop working every year?
Sure the front-facing part is open, but I kind of think the whole package matters...
@nixCraft They'll not only have to learn, but they'll have to learn the various ways that "AI" "hallucinates" so they know what to fix when they're hired to fix what it did.
@arstechnica Maybe they had ChatGPT write up the lawsuit.
@arstechnica Come on now. It's Meta. By definition they were already doing this even before. The only difference is now they're gathering even more personal info and not bothering to hide it since apparently they don't have to.
@nixCraft This does not sound legal to me. Charging someone for the effects of external hostile actors does *not* sound right.
@nixCraft I love that a side effect of people legitimately believing LLMs actually are AI means they're terrified it will try to take over or something. Closest it could ever do is a Wargames type thing if someone hooked one up to a military system, but why on earth would anyone ever do that?
@arstechnica The only thing is, have they properly tested for the background noise of a certain something else that causes inflammation of the heart (among other things) currently spreading like wildfire? I wouldn't be shocked if at this point virtually everyone has had COVID-19 at least once.
@nixCraft Seriously, why do we have to sit there and pretend we're super excited about a job? It would be neat if it were actually be possible to actually find a job worth being excited about, but 99.999999999999% of jobs are crap and we just want to make a living so we can have food that isn't ramen and basic things that don't fall apart tomorrow. They know it. We know it. Why this stupid masquerade?
The show "In the Middle" had one episode that really spoke to me...

@arstechnica As an extra point of clarity: it's digital. People tend to think of things as being a thing that is given and then is gone when a transaction is complete. Except that's not how it actually works with anything digital.
In other words, they can sell it to as many as they want to and may not even bother with a bidding process.
@nixCraft Oh god. There's a scary thought... If they start adding so called "AI" to Maps then it will start inventing roads and entire landscapes probably.
Knowing Google and the obsessive way they jumped in on the "AI" boat I'm pretty sure they will add it. Hopefully no one gets *too* lost.
@nixCraft To be fair though, he's probably mentally stuck in the 1930s still. Even now with this tiny glimpse into 2024.
@nixCraft No. And yes. Hard to put into 500 characters well, but while it is absolutely true they have no legal obligations or anything, it doesn't make it ok to be rude or hateful towards users either. This goes both ways of course, but all too often a simple request for just providing a simple fix or etc is basically answered back in what amounts to "too bad. Learn to code." That is rude and insulting and not ok -- at a human morality level, regardless of if it is FOSS or commercial.
@nixCraft Doesn't look like it. This seems to be presented as something attempting to be an alternative that uses a cleaner setup aimed at people who might otherwise struggle to understand how to do this stuff. It's a bit niche since most such people aren't willing to switch, but it has a place and and a value potentially.
@nixCraft Around here I have to say that all I could find were things that were basically dock worker type positions (lots of heavy labor, brain off all day,) or positions that I'm 99.999% sure are meant to be internal but posted publicly for some reason (are companies required to post a certain number of jobs or something?) Eg they'll say something like 10 years required with some super proprietary corporate software I've never heard of in all my many many years of computing.
@nixCraft But hey, at least the rich are able to continue to line their pockets and isn't that all that really matters in the end?
Sometimes I legitimately wonder how many potential Einsteins have been lost to the ages because the spent their whole lives working until exhaustion just to not die of starvation.
I'm no Einstein, but there are a lot of things I would like to make or try but had to choose either exhaustion or insufficient money (or really both.) I have ideas, but can never try them
@itsfoss I'm legitimately wondering: who asked for an "AI" terminal? Who actually thought it was a good idea and said they wanted it?
@arstechnica If you want to make it more responsive and shrink its size, how about getting rid of all this bloatware, make it a proper PC application like it was for probably close to two decades now, and just generally implementing it properly like they used to do a long time ago?
I don't know why GPU drivers have to be such a bloated mess these days. All we need are a few simple settings. All the other stuff is just wasting resources for things you don't even really see or use.
@itsfoss Just :wq to write and exit and :q! to exit without write.
@itsfoss It's too bad it couldn't be a thing more on a software-level rather than the kernel itself. Changes in there will take quite some time to make it outward and even if it's accepted quickly most of us won't see it for potentially years. 😞
I keep hoping to use the social networks for something else. I'd really love to talk about games, music, etc etc. But somehow it always turns political. Don't follow me if you don't want to see potentially either or completely at random.
