So its settled that neurons are the only way to create inteligence? Again you need to get your work published, it’s clearly groundbreaking that you’ve solved these long standing disputes.

It doesnt though, local models would be at the core of FOSS AI, and they dont require you to trust anyone with your data.
It takes only an incredibly basic knowledge of computers and brains to know that we cannot make an actual intelligent program using the Von Neumann style of computer.
Nice to hear that it only takes a very basic knowledge of computers to settle one of the most hotly disputed issues in philosophy and computing. You should let them know you’ve decided it.
The point you seem to be missing is that it isnt that linux is too hard for average people, it isnt id even say its easier than windows to use for people who arent deep into using windows already.
Its that installing any os is too much for regular people and Microsoft have been fighting dirty and abusing market dominance to make sure they kill pre-installed linux machines.
I mean gnome and kde both have it so that doesnt feel correct for why macos doesnt.
Huh, i have the complete opposite reaction. Having to move to macos for work finder is probably my least favourite bit. It feels like it is deliberately trying to hide the file system and my files from me and just give me the files it thinks i want, id have nautilus or thunar installed in a heartbeat.
Fwiw i have almost exactly the same feeling going from gnome to macos, sure its polished but it goes out of its way to make anything even slightly complicated incredibly difficult. So yeah im pretty sure its mostly familiarity.
The counterpoint is since 16:9 became the de facto standard for monitors, vertical resolution is at much more of a premium than horizontal resolution is.
This chimes with how I’ve been thinking about these issues for a while now. A lot of the “ethical issues” (and frankly hysteria) around AI seems more to do with large tech companies wanting to create a legal moat around a technology that is otherwise ripe for open distribution than it is about those actual issues.
No, how was I supposed to infer that you were fine with non-commercial AI from your two letter response to why you were licencing your comment?
I think its fairly naive to think that linking to a licence will do anything to stop commercial AI but not open ones, but you go for it if you think it’s worthwhile.
I think you’re missing my point. You are giving people more rights to use your comments by putting them under CC licence than not putting them under any.
Thats shifting the goalposts, I don’t see anyone advocating for fascism here, just for saying people shouldnt be shielded from the idea of it
I don’t think linking to a licence that increases the rights of third parties to do things with your words (over the default all rights reserved) will do very much for you there.
You do realise protecting people from the idea of fascism means people not knowing about the holocaust or how Mussolini gained power right?
You’re right to an extent, but there is nuance. No end user goes through the Debian repositories and checking the source code for each package by hand. You would be well within your rights to be annoyed if a rm -rf /
got added into a script in the repos somehow. A level of trust somewhere is unavoidable for things to work smoothly.
Of course the difference in level of responsibility between core repos and random code pulled of github is vast.
But equally equally, if they set up their own communities in public but just an obscure location, they shouldn’t complain that their public posts are public. Security by obscurity is no security. Frankly its the worst of all worlds to have a place like that as it encourages feeling safe while having the possibility of having the rug pulled out from under you at any moment.
My point was that you cant have your privacy violated in public as you don’t have privacy in public. That’s what being in public means, a place that isnt private. Being federated or not has zero impact on whether Meta can ingest all the public data they like from the fedivese because its all public.
You don’t have privacy in public, that’s the difference between public and private. If meta wanted to they could scrape the entirety of the fediverse every weekend without anyone being federated with an instance of theirs. So that isnt a good reason for defederating.
Fear of EEE is a more reasonable argument, but given that it can be done at any point I dont see any reason to do it pre-emptively rather than take a wait and see approach.
Personally I prefer to get a refund with the explicit reason “Game wont run on proton” It gives clear quantifiable feedback to valve and the developer that they lost this money because it wouldnt run on linux.
Or at least I would if that had happened recently. Last time a game wouldnt run for me was ace combat 7.
Local models WOULD form the basis of FOSS AI. Supposition on my part but entirely supportable given there is already a open source model movement focus on producing local models and open source software is generally privacy focused.
Local models ARE inherently private due to the way that no information leaves the device it is processed on.
I know you dont want to engage with arguments and instead just wail at the latest daemon for internet points, but you can have more than one statement in a sentence without being incoherent.
