The best solution to any problem is to go back in time to before the problem was created, sure. That cat's so far out of the bag, and it's only going to multiply and evolve.
No way would they have forced you to sign up to/in to meta either though.
That's really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it's also one of Linux's best features - it's not a uniform experience. Yours won't be the same as mine, etc.
Some things that should be simple aren't, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.
I'm fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don't want to go to that trouble, just like people don't want to learn to cook.
Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.
Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don't want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There's just too much I don't like about the way it's managed. Also, winsecure.
I got the rest from this guy named Ralph in an alley--stupid asshole didn't even charge me, he just told me to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose!
If I was a hiring manager and saw a video like this from a prospective employee I would just throw their application straight in the garbage.
You probably wouldn't be a hiring manager very long with that attitude. I don't get the appeal either, but I don't do tiktok so. Just from the linked piece, it sounds like it's becoming increasingly common.
Quite a leap to posting private company details online. Where are those stored by the way? Office 365? SharePoint? The cloud?..
I don't need steam to install your app on my pc, unless you choose it to be that way.
If they're games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it's often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you'll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.
We're just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.
You can only extend at the end. You would need to move it first.
It's just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that's available now can be a lot of fun, but it's a long way from where it needs to be, to "change the world". And yeah, I wouldn't want it for free since the acquisition.
Idk, I find this hard to believe. I would think the challenge is more access to the information (gates, bandwidth), a speedy vault to store that information, and improving their models.
When you think about what's available on the internet, how much of human knowledge and propaganda is out there. With enough/deus ex tech, there's no way ai shouldn't be able to learn most of anything with the knowledge available, and the right trainers.
One of the best things the govt here in aus did in my lifetime, was tighten gun laws and buy back as many guns as they could. While we're by no means free of gun violence and homicides, we very rarely have incidents like mass/school shootings.
That's not how this is supposed to work. Most humans don't think like machines, and many are never going to. It's the job of your "ai" to work out what its human is telling it.
Same, and I don't like it, idk why exactly but I think because too many other things already get referred to as such.

They're not people, they're cancer to society.
In that way I'm like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don't have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.
Funny that, I'm a Linux admin. I actually run my own servers for everything. I'm a firm believer in whoever owns the hardware owns the data. It's just like work but with tools that I like. I like knowing where it is, and it's not going to end the world if it's offline for a time.
I did windows admin for about 5 years though up to 2008r2, and I have to say I do like AD and ntfs ACLs (except when they break). Those times do contribute to my aversion.
I too know a thing or two about developing, back in the day I did C, pascal, C++. I remember how much easier delphi was than mfc. I got out of developing when they started dumbing down the tools further (why didn't you die, java.. C#, etc.) Electron can't die in a dumpster fire fast enough.
Don't start me on teams. I'd say the same for o365 though. Hard to believe these products make me want work to go back to lotus notes, domino, sametime...
Going by the poll 1:9 people actually feel this way, probably should have added a /s.
You're not wrong in any way, they definitely do need more funding. No matter how much you throw at it, the enormity of the task of making sure everything that wants to come to market is safe for humans.. I can't imagine how humans can even keep up.
Sure, the risks associated with brain implants are high, but it's something you (hopefully) very consciously have to agree to. It's more value to test some artificial sweetener to make sure it doesn't give us diabetes.
Community support is a thing, it's not the lack of support that's to blame here - have you ever used Microsoft support? Linux support is much more accessible even.
A lot of the blame here, is Microsoft's clever marketing campaign providing windows to educational institutions - with support - for far below cost, in the early days when pc adoption was on the rise.
Distribution saturation is a barrier to entry and focused support, and it is sometimes more complicated to install and repair. Sometimes it's easier to repair, because windows is too busy trying to hide its internals from you.
It's usually easier to support a remote IT-illiterate person using Linux, by comparison to windows, today.
e: I guess to be fair, if you factored in community support for windows, your options open up quite a lot. I was more thinking about my own interactions with their support. But enterprise support/problems are not the same as personal ones.
Also, stop using windows.
Enter the bureaucrats
Everything's a competition for company profits.
Yeah I nearly panicked for a second there, then I remember noone's getting near that anyway. Back to my relaxing weekend.
I've just doubled down on not using Microsoft tbh. I shouldn't have to spend so much time and effort cleaning a clean install of an OS. And have updates change things so they don't work the same or at all any more, or you just can't find them. Fuck that.
What a great way too summarize all the garbage I was thinking to spew. This is really it. Freedom and control. Or "whatever I want it to".
I think that there are a lot of 8 billion people who would disagree with comfortably well. That number needs to be closer to two, to be sustainable with earth's resources. At least that's my understanding, not disappointed if wrong.
Just add a h to trust.
Which is interesting in itself, what if AI by chance produces a likeness of you, unintentionally. Is there an AI that has a database of all of us to know that? I'm sure they're trying, for whatever reason.
Now, if you're someone famous, like a pop star or president, chances are there are a lot more images of you in those databases, which could also skew the resulting images.
So I guess, what we really need is some way to trust the image, otherwise ... I really don't know how this can be avoided, maybe a smarter entity does.
It's owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there's a reason, without logging in.
Aix? Hp-ux?
Your ebike is also spying, probably.
I'm going to take the time to illustrate here, how I can see LLMs affecting human speech through existing applications and technologies that are (or could) be made both available and popular enough to achieve this. We're far enough down the comment chain I can reply to myself now right?
So, we can all agree that people are increasingly using LLMs in the form of chatgpt and the like, to acquire knowledge/information. The same way as they would use a search engine to follow a link to that knowledge.
Speech-to-text has been a thing for at least 3 decades (yeah it was pretty hopeless once, but not so much now). So let's not argue about speech vs text. People already talk to Google and siri and whoever else to this end, llms. Pale have their responses read out via tts.
I remember being blown away watching a blind sysadmin interacting with a Linux shell via tts at rates I couldn't even understand the words in 1998. How far we've come. I digress, so.
We've all experienced trouble getting the information we're looking for even with all these tools. Because there's so much information, and it can be very difficult to find the needle in the haystack. So we constantly have to refine our queries either to be more specific, or exclude relationships to other information.
This in turn, causes us to think about the words we were using to get the results we want, more frequently because otherwise we spend too much time on recursion.
In turn, the more we do this, and are trained to do this, the more it will bleed into human communication.
Now look, there is absolutely a lot of hopium smoking going on here, but damn, this could have everlasting impact on verbal communication. If technology can train people - through inaccurate/incorrect results to think about the communication going out when they speak, we could drastically reduce the amount of miscommunication between people by that alone.
Imagine:
get me a chair
wheels out an office chair from the study
no I meant a chair for at the kitchen table
Vs
get me a chair for at the kitchen table
You can apply the same thing to human prompted image generation and video generation.
Now.. We don't need llms to do this, or know this. But we are never going to achieve this without a third party - the "llm", and whatever it's plugged into - because the human recipient will usually be more capable of translating these variances, or employ other contexts not as accessible via a single output as speech or text.
But if machines train us to communicate out better (more accurately, precisely and/or concisely), that is an effect I can't welcome enough.
Realistically, the machines will learn to deal with us being dumb, before we adapt.
e: formatting.
Everyone is. As time and tech progresses, you're going to find that it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid without going off-grid entirely.
Do you really think corps aren't going to replace humans with AI, any later than they can profit by doing so? That states aren't going eventually to do the same?
This is interesting and thought provoking discussion, ty.
You're absolutely right, I was looking for the dead end - plugging LLM into a solution.
I'm more thinking LLMs used in conjunction with other tech will have these effects on our communicating. LLMs, or whatever replaces them to do that interpretation, are necessary to facilitate that.
When we come up with something better, to do the same job better, then of course, LLMs will be redundant. If that happens, great.
We are already seeing a boom in popularity of LLMs outside of professional use. Global ubiquity for anything is never going to happen, unless we can fix communication, which we probably can't. We certainly can't alone. It's very much a chicken an egg problem, that we can only gain from by progressing towards.
Imagining vocallising using programming languages gave me a chuckle. I have been known to do things like use s/x/y/ to correct in written chats though.
Programming languages allow us to talk to and listen to machines. LLMs will hopefully allow machines to listen and talk to/between us.
But to go back to Ops original question, how will LLMs affect spoken language, they won't.
That's a rather closed minded conclusion. It makes it sound like you don't think they have the chance.
LLMs have the potential to pave the way to aligning spoken language, perhaps even evolving human communication to a point where speech is an occasional thing because it's really inefficient.
It's only a hop step from there to something less invasive thankfully.
Intravascular neural interfaces are already reducing the invasiveness, but hopefully that is just a short step.
I'd not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that's more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there's a million possibilities. That's a paranoid perspective.
In reality, I assume if I'm on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn't. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.
Well I suppose they were right. Windows 10 was the last version of Windows for me. I'm okay with not using what little only works on windows. Unless you need something more niche/specialised, windows isn't worth the pain.
