  • I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.


















  • Economic collapse doesn’t matter if you:

    1. Own the means of production to sustain your way of life

    2. Have fully automated it

    3. Can protect it using automated security

    Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.


  • It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.

    Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.
