Wonderful. Linus Torvalds says that AI is a useful tool, no questions about it, and that anybody who says the opposite has not used it. Even if they did.
How many anti AI people you think work at a place where they're forced to burn tokens because "AI is the greatest thing ever"?
He says that you either accept it, or do the impossible and fork the whole thing. Maybe in the future we will be using FreeBSD. At this rate anything is possible, maybe even going back to Winblows, if I'm going to use AI slop generated software I might as well.
Since Linus is no longer writing code and he's just a maintainer, he'd do well in stepping down and letting people who clearly has a better idea on how to maintain the kernel than he does do the job instead. He can retire and live off of his AI stocks until the market crash if he wants. And have the AI write another Python script for him.
I'm so tired. Everyone vaticines an AI bubble bursting but it never happens. The more it look like its going to happen, the less it happens. Everyone knows its not benefitial, everyone knows it's not profitable, yet everyone keeps placing money in it.
Today a friend called his insurance and the assistant was an AI agent. Of course after giving all his personal details to the agent he claimed he had 3 insurance policies instead of a single one. At the end of the call the agent just transferred the call to a human agent and he had to give his details again to her, whats the point of having an AI agent then if you're going to transfer the call to a human being? Do that from the beginning ffs.
Now I come home and read the news. Of course they want to build more AI gigafactories/data centers/ whatever hip words they want to use for them. It doesn't matter if new constructions have to wait months or years to get into the grid because we don't have that much electricity, or if the bills increase due to the higher demands. They just want to announce investments and job creation.
Meanwhile you still can't buy RAM at a reasonable price and everything is moving into "cloud" services. The consumer electronics market is completely DEAD right now. All while you can't enter a store without a sign that says "we use AI surveillance for ''your security''" without disclosing what fucking third party company they hired their stupid AI surveillance with. Now if the AI hallucinates that you're pickpocketing or something they can call security on you. Even if you are just looking doing nothing.
Am I supposed to be happy about all this scam? Because I am anything but happy. THe more time passes the more I hate AI and the more I go against it.
@GNUxeava@fedi.absturztau.be What kind of PCs? Pretty sure hardware in China is cheaper, they even have their own ram and gpus, though they are still kinda bad. As for India, is it brand new cutting edge PCs or older, office workstations?
Disappointed to see that the EU wants to build even more massive AI data centers. What a waste of energy and hardware. Not to mention the disregard for the environmental impact of these data centers. But momey speaks louder than anything these days. Every year the the temperatures are higher and higher and more people dies, but everyone is ignoring it because "AI cool".
Bruh... searching for anything online these days just makes me pissed off. Like, I forgot which http header allows you to resume a download from a requested position in the stream and every search I do sends me to some unrelated shit like downloading to a byte array in C#.
