  • Both Fedora and Ubuntu will get AI support – soon

  • Always pretty funny to see the FOSS community willingly follow the lead of corporate investment trends, but for fractions of pennies on the dollar compared to big tech.

    If you're gonna act like Microsoft you might as well do it for the money.

  • What is with the pro-AI posts lately?

  • Pro-AI people are a small minority in my experience, but are generally overrepresented in the tech geek communities that make up the majority of users on the fediverse. Anecdotally, I think that the vast majority of people are indifferent about AI, some of them may find it to be a novel replacement for web searching, but almost nobody is interested in paying for generative AI (as evidenced by the AI companies hemorrhaging cash). If you were to ask on a more creativity-centric community, you would find that anti-AI sentiment is near ubiquitous amongst the working creative class.

    Sadly, there is a significant number of untalented and brainless fools who use unethical corporate AI models as a crutch to compensate for their lack of real-world skills and relationships.

    But for as many people as there that claim to be pro-AI, you simply don't see people actively seek out AI-generated art, music, videos, or stories. I would argue that most of the consumers of AI content are people who have been unwittingly duped into reading/watching/listening to it

    For reasons I can't quite understand, some AI fans are also deluded into believing that AI will somehow usher in a post-capitalist utopia, despite the obvious fact it is only further empowering and enriching the most wealthy tech companies and the oligarchs that control them.

    AI psychosis is a documented problem.

    Finally, pro-AI people are infinitely more likely to use AI to generate spam and proganda in support of their worldview than people who are against it. Are we supposed to believe people that have AI girlfriends are above using AI to write bogus posts and comments?

  • For those with lower-back issues, what's been the best work-chair for you?

    Jump

  • I use two chairs, a regular office chair and a kneeling chair. I switch between them regularly.

  • Boy are they in for a rude awakening.

    I hope they really go for it. Maybe it'll put them out of business.

  • Pollsters are now asking AIs to answer surveys as if they were humans and passing the results off as poll statistics

    Jump

  • They could just skip the AI and make up numbers themselves.

  • Jensen Huang says Nvidia now has 'zero percent' market share in China — says US export policy 'has already largely backfired'

    Jump

  • The time that China is exploiting or stealing US IP are long gone.

    Ha! Good one!

    The fact is that if you manufacture a product in China, it will be knocked off, rebadged and undercut in Chinese shops, offline and online. China also continues to have no problem skirting IP laws and producing goods with popular American or Japanese characters on it.

    So what GPUs are being used in China, for business and entertainment alike?

    NVidia GPUs, manufactured in Taiwan and back-channelled into China's black market en masse. https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20250725PD223/nvidia-high-end-ai-chip-china.html

    To say that they have 0% market share is bullshit. Spare me the propaganda.

  • Nobody in China has an Nvidia GPU, huh?

    What a crock of shit.

    Remember when people said that we had to let AI companies get away with doing whatever they wanted "or else China would win"?

    Turns out they will "win" at this stupid game anyway because they never had any qualms about breaking rules or exploiting US IP and technology in the first place.

  • Anyone else tired of guessing at how to make life better for a majority of people like its your personal life mission or something?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I've been trying not to worry to much about social issues that are far behind my control. Too much of that is just anxiety-inducing for me.

    The main function of a democratic republic is to elect leaders who are supposed to worry about solving problems so that we, as individuals, dont have to and can instead focus on doing other things.

    The sad truth is that we all have so little faith in the people who are in charge that we take it upon ourselves to try to figure out the answers to society's privilege, but for what? Even if we think we have the answer, we don't exactly have the means to enact it when we aren't anywhere near the levers of power.

    If we really want to make policy, we have to get more politically involved and maybe even run for office. Everything short of that is just venting or an intellectual exercise.

    What's the best Linux distro for an 11 year old who has a serious aversion to learning new things?

    Jump

  • Bazzite. Treat it like a game console.

    However, generally speaking, 11 year olds should be made to learn new things in my opinion.
