Unlike the other AI products, can Red Hat users opt out?

I'm not anti-AI, I just have no use for it yet and want my CPU cycles back.

You know who is NOT going to ethnically cleanse our neighborhood? Kamala Harris.

First you said the Linux kernel is proprietary then you linked to a Linux kernel that is non-proprietary. That's like saying 'Birds are blue' then pointing to a bunch of red birds.

It might be more accurate to say 'some modules in some kernels are not free'.
