Yeah nah, the AI shit himself as well as the industry as a whole is peddling isn’t as useful as they say it is, even with the “revolutionary new Gemini 3 models”, which are just slop convo generators. The thing is, when AI is thrusted into a person’s line of sight, the label doesn’t make it so they impulsively rework their entire workflow to be the exact same in terms of quality but use an AI instead, most people brush it off as system bullshit they don’t need, and even if it could help with some things in some capacity, it’s marketed as a “feed everything into me and you can use me for everything” machines, when honestly more accurate, smaller and specialised models should be made instead, even if their purpose is also a bit dubious too.

And sure, it might seem contradictory, but I do use an AI, but it’s pretty much just for brainstorming and conversational shit for refining my ideas through just articulating them, but I really dislike how my computers are full of AI services for no reason, with a few of my laptops with copilot baked in, another with Gemini baked in, and what have you.

I suppose the only good thing that came out from LLMs would just be the increase from 8 to 16gb of ram on many machines, but then again, it had to drop again because of said AI companies.

There’s also the fact that many NPUs are pretty much useless unless used for a very specific model built for the hardware, so there’s no real point having them

Can’t you beat the system by pissing directly into the urinal sink and not washing your hands?

What’s with this obsession with putting everything in space? Like don’t get me wrong, some technologies absolutely vastly benefit from it, but like, why put data centres in space? Why put greenhouses in space? Why put a factory in space? Sure it’s cool to see but I genuinely don’t see the benefit, especially if either you have to pay tens of billions to get a standard facility in space working, or have to miniaturise it so much that there isn’t an advantage to it at that point…

Maybe I have a shit take, I’m not sure, but what I see is how priorities are mismatched on such a crazy level, then again though, at least this isn’t the stupidest idea since it has at least some grounding, but AI companies wanting to send dozens of data centres into space is plain infeasible even if they manage to use neuromorphic and light based chipsets, use nuclear fusion somehow, and manage to pack such a dense radiator system so the whole facility doesn’t burn up.

Sucks that Microsoft sees no reason in enforcing any resource usage limits for anything, console manufacturers do this and games run incredibly well on there, same for how Apple (despite other bullshit they pull) enforces software requirements so it can run at least functionally on the oldest supported devices.

All Microsoft has done is shoot themselves in the foot by upping the requirements so they can get lazy with coding, such as pretty much every UI component being an electron app, or how apparently a third of it is vibe coded. Meanwhile, due to the prices of devices with reasonable amounts of RAM skyrocketing, too many consumers get the bottom of the barrel configs, and then wonder why their computer is insatiably slow; it’s because Microsoft is now enforcing their laziness, possibly so they can change UI components quicker through higher level languages.

Yeah those are the left and right respectively

From my perspective, he is probably referring to chromeOS’s crosvm container, which virtualises a debian install (or other distros). Since Chromebooks are popular in schools, predominantly in the USA but even still globally, students are likely to attempt to gain further functionality out of their devices, and hence experiment with Linux, get used to it and possibly install it on different devices (or on that same Chromebook through the mrchromebox firmware) in the future.

Edit: alternatively, he could just be referring to flooding the market with cheap Linux laptops for specific purposes like education workflows or standard consumer workflows, just like how Chromebooks achieved that footing in the market.

I actually had an AI assist me in flashing the firmware, as well as flashing a custom ROM later on, of a phone I was just testing on for fun, and I was only confident since I had a chunk of prior knowledge of ADB as well as other tools and the differences between mobile and desktop system structures, and for the stuff I didn’t understand or know, I just researched externally and figured it out.

Blindly trusting it though is a fools errand, just like myself a few years back messing with my laptop’s Linux install, copy pasting everything and then complaining when shit broke.

Nah, more like ANDS - American Neuron Deficiency Syndrome

Wait, onions have lawyers?

I also recommend the 1 day blinding stew

Honestly, I would’ve guessed more

Baited

“I just woke up in a fuckin steamin mood yeah because I LIVE in a SHITHOLE”

corn, obviously!

how large is it? Can we get a cob for scale up in here?

terrible day to have hyperphantasia

Wait I thought it was pronounced nyo-ki? Maybe it’s my Aussie accent
