The entire effort to find a problem for them to solve has meant ecological harms at a scale that makes crypto mining seem trivial.

The data required has copyright and other commercial use restrictions on it. Much of the data being overtly restricted was never available for harvest to start with.

Given these facts, bringing and end to the LLMs an snaping techbros out of their latest delusion is a good thing.

ipodisation: the tendency for non-iPod Apple products to evolve iPod-like features over time.

Until a chatbot is provably correct and ethical in its output, it must not be used to teach.

Case in point: the slop image attached to the announcement has the typical malformed hands and ghoulish faces problems.

So far the only market for VR is niche entertainment. VRC is fun, but VR games have been arounds for decades and never gotten past novelty.

AR has value as an accessibility tool because it can get around the high cost of some infrastructure changes. But like all accessibility tools, profit-focused eyeballs see it as a small, low-margin market. Enabling human rights is not considered profit.

The average business owner is usually overwhelmed with the backend of running a business by the time they come to me. If a client told me they used accounting software with AI features, the first thing I'd do is fully audit their books and review any filings done using chatbot-affected records.

Stop giving corporations the benefit of the doubt.

So you'll need a significant amount of code that isn't the permanently-resident kernel that has enough device support to access keys and decrypt and authenticate what holds the kernel that will launch the OS.

IOW, you'll just have to reinvent a bootloader anyway.

Or you can address the problems with GRUB, extend it to do what you need, and avoid doing the traditional linux folly of Yet Another Unnecessary Reinvention.

Or was systemd vendor lock-in not enough for your shareholders?

We can observe LLM-like behaviour in humans: all those reactionaries who just parrot whatever catchphrases mass media programmed into them. LLMs are just the computer version of that uncle who thinks Fox News is true and is the reason your nieces have to wear long pants at family gatherings.

He doesn't understand the catchphrases he parrots any more than the chatbots do.

Actual AI will require a kind of modelling that as yet does not exist.

Even worse, it tends to ruin production values when it's a film with a DoP who knows how to exploit the characteristics of film.

It's like interlaced video. Yeah, you motion that looks like 50 or 60 fps, but the actual information is still only 25 or 30 fps, and it's degraded due to the effects of interlacing.

Motion smoothing is this century's interlacing, and in a few decades we'll have archivists running video through a motion desmoothing counterpart to QTGMC.

Why anyone willingly choses Roku anymore is beyond me.
