I guess the positive side of this is that at least some open source projects might move away from discord now.

The negative is that a lot of them used discord not only for communication but also documentation, losing all of that knowledge in the process.

I guess you’re regularly committing to the kernel then?

Why?

I don’t even use AI, just looking at other peoples slop is exhausting.

What does that even mean?

May I ask what you do for a living?

AI very much did break Copyright law by taking stuff without having a license for it.

I haven’t read the article, but if the headline already starts out this wrong I don’t think it’ll get better.

I’d argue it’s the other way around: The further you travel in the past the bigger becomes your impact on current times.

And what if your target is using a different app for messaging?

I agree that blindly going trough memory isn’t the best solution. To catch everything, a keylogger as part of the input-handler of the OS would probably be the way to go.

You’ve already gotten a lot of responses about the first claim.

But to answer the second one:

Why would they mess with a specific app if they already control the OS? They could read everything they ever wanted from memory without anyone noticing.

No it’s not a good idea.

It’s extremely inefficent compared to just using elecricity directly for whatever you’re planning to do with it.

to ensure that its users are […] who they claim to be

I dont’t want that either. Maybe for verified accounts this makes sense, but not for the average shitposter.

I guess the biggest thing I’m missing right now is VR gaming.

But since my VR googles need WMR to work, I wouldn’t be any better off with Windows 11 either.

I hope people don’t buy the story that the kill switch was part of the plan all along.

This is clearly the result of mozilla scrambling for a compromise after the backlash to their recent announcement.

Edit: In the blog post that sparked the discussion there’s this sentence:

AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.

They didn’t mention a browser-wide kill switch but I agree that that could be what they meant.

So it’s opt-out. Great

But the other stuff is copywritten as well most of the time.

Just because it’s free to look at doesn’t mean it’s free to download, modify or feed into an AI.

This is the definition of ethically sourced data from the Apertus website:

[…] the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available.

So they still train on Websites, Blogs and Social Media. Ethical my ass.

Also if you want to learn you have to break your system.

OP wants to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and play games.

Messing around and breaking stuff in a well documented distro is great for learning, I agree. But that’s not what OP was asking about.

Counterpoint:

If kids where taught how to solve them properly we wouldn’t need to dumb down equasions.

Your argument is based on the assumtion that AI “thinks” in the same way humans do. Which it does not, since it doesn’t think at all.

And being called a tool to generate code is borderline insulting tbh.
