I’ve always been under the impression that the little grey supporting text being little and grey is because the designer didn’t want it read but was required to put it somewhere. A dark pattern, if you will. Is it actually not intended that way?
I feel like these headlines are designed to be way scarier than the scenarios actually are to people that don’t know much about Arch Linux.
I don’t think steam is perfect, but they have shown over the years they will go above and beyond to make a good experience for the consumer, including tagging all kinds of negative things on games such as specific DRMs and drastically advancing the ability to run windows games on Linux
No publicly traded company will ever develop that kind of track record even if you give it a chance.
That’s cool and all, but the plan is to buy their way in by running at a massive loss then enshittify. Rather, even if that is not the current plan (it probably is), it will inevitably become the plan because it is a publicly traded company.
Even outside of the performance problems, it’s become clear the pattern is to release the base game which is ok, then eventually release an expansion that makes it feel like a complete experience. A lot of people that started with world or rise are just going to hold off for the expansion
That they don’t know how it works is a lie. The mysticism and anthropomorphization is purposeful marketing. Pretending they don’t know how it works also lets them pretend that the fact they constantly lie is something that can be fixed rather than a fundamental aspect of the technology
They weren’t though. You put stuff in the search bar and it detected you were asking about unit conversion and gave you an answer, without ever involving an llm. Are you being dense on purpose?
You can do unit conversions with powertoys on windows, spotlight on mac and whatever they call the nifty search bar on various Linux desktop environments without even hitting the internet with exactly the same convenience as an llm. Doing discrete things like that with an llm inference is the most inefficient and stupid way to do them.
That is my entire problem with llms and llm based tools. I get especially salty when someone sends me output from one and I confirm it’s lying in 2 minutes.
Oooooooooof
Oh great another centralized repository of data about people (uploaded without their knowledge or consent in the case of the men) that definitely won’t be abused by bad actors
I see this as an absolute win
Does the government even have a need for general LLMs?
Will this stop them from spending our hard earned tax money on it?
Yes. I am getting so sick and tired of people asking me for help then proceeding to rain unhelpful suggestions from their LLM upon me while I’m trying to think through their problem. You wouldn’t be asking for help if that stuff was helping you!
Some of my projects wouldn’t have been finished without AI.
This says way more about you than it says about AI tools
Oh no… anyway
Like most things, there isn’t an a/b divide but a spectrum between the two, and in this case it’s even more complicated because a society could take a collectivist view about one thing and an individualist view about others.
Work culture all over the world regardless of culture is fucked up.
Weird how you say collectivist like it’s a bad thing
Just tell them to read the arch wiki page on AUR and take it seriously, IMO
