It is (at this point) an old meme.

It is similar to this meme too.

As someone who can read code, lol.

In a democracy, it is important that the election process is understandable and verifiable by a layman. But how many people actually go to verify their elections? Barely anyone, so how and why should you trust the election??? Omg, the end is coming!!! Back in reality, enough people verify the elections and the fact that anyone can check creates the threat of detection. That makes elections generally safe.

Now with open source, a layman can’t understand it or verify it, but they don’t need to. They have to use software that seems to be heavily controlled by non laymans. Compared to closed source software, this is a huge improvement.

They chose to be windows admins.

Ofc they do. But most users don’t use it at all. Even most windows admins (based on my experience) don’t know PowerShell which doesn’t mean they know how to use CMD.

The weirdest thing for me is when people complain about terminal when there is a meme how much easier it is to do something on Linux compared to windows or MacOS.

Terminal is the easiest way to highlight that for a meme.

With the most braindead reason,

There are barely any Linux users…

Riot… I quit the game because I didn’t want to bother with proton and get mad when it goes wrong. And I knew kernel anti cheat would come. And all the Linux fans who are addicted enough are running the game on windows specifically. I literally have a friend with a windows VM with graphic card passthrough to play league of legends… That guy gets counted as a windows User…

Fucking idiot create the most toxic environment for Linux users and then say they don’t attempt to support Linux because the Linux users didn’t bother to fight their shit enough in a detectable way.

But they are used like search engine… A lot… That is a huge issue.

Yeah that is my point.

It will be more and more conservative over time. As I don’t think you should use it for anything but inspiration, I am saying that it will encourage a more and more conservative approach to e.g. coding.

I called that on day 1. Ai code will forever be from yesterday, encouraging writing yesterday’s code. after a while, ai will train on its own yesterday’s code which won’t be from yesterday no more, now ai will encourage writing even older code …

Hey, I think the ridiculous notion that a randomised output generator would generate anything remotely truthful outside of absurdly lucky happenstances, is missing.

I think the more punchline phrasing for it:

Fascist = wants to have control over you.

Honestly I kinda like man pages. It is a pain but it is the least painful. And compared to e.g. the PowerShell docs, I love the man pages.

I looked at some posts of them. They posted a meme about how Linux users don’t shut the fuck up about Linux, while running this community… Lol.

As a Linux user, we might be a little too passionate.

I understood and I agreed with you. I just wanted to point out that it is actually even worse…

But you are right

A good read about ai summarizing.

Being scammed isn’t boring. It is blood boiling and (wrongly) shame-filled.

But yeah, you are right. The boring and the bad.

I google for the company website (e.g. Wikipedia) and then I google with the site in mind for info. Works well

Modern campus have turned into police states. It is literally common practice to scan your emails for anything “interesting”. Sometimes used to spy on protesting students and that was in BLM times, if I remember correctly.

Look into Social Sentinel, if you want to learn more

Summary:

Tech bro billionaire thinks no one knows what the impact of ai will be on the market but also that the impact will be huge for employees and that everyone should learn ai.

Conclusion: Tech bro billionaire invested in ai and has realized that there is barely any real money to be made as of right now, to cope with his apparent bad judgement, he doubles down on the idea that ai soon be worth it. To continue his plan, he needs more funding and he doesn’t want to double down hard enough to do it all himself. So to find new investors, he sings the praise of ai and promises a great future, as the present looks… Well… Bad.
