The demonizing of devices like this as "pervert glasses" incredibly fucking juvenile and obnoxious. We're going to throw out an entire concept because a handful of scumbags abuses them. This isn't serious discussion, this is just mobs of imbeciles running around with pitchforks.

As long as it's achieved in the manner that you approve of, of course.

Who are you to dictate what somebody enjoys? Don't worry about it. Do you.

Capitalism will make you as happy as necessary to ensure that you continue buying. No more no less.

I find this seriously underestimates what jackets 6 will undertake for fun, even unpaid.

Or, considering you're already considerable markup, you could just make a little less money on each one... HAHAHA I'm just fucking with you Apple.

I use Pi and Qwen 3.6 27b locally on a 4090 for all my personal projects. I still use Claude for day job work since they pay for it, and my employer expects me to use it. I rarely touch it otherwise.

It's my daily driver, so I kind of twitched a bit saying that list in here. I never noticed because I was using it anyway, I guess.

It's a bit of a contradiction. We understand that AI can be used usefully, and to great effect. But if someone else uses it, it's a potential liability.

I think the issue is, we understand our own usage of it, and respect the boundaries of what's possible and what needs to be done to use these tools properly.

But we don't know how the other guy is using it.

We don't know if they're being responsible, and using it in a safe manner.

If they are: great. But if they aren't, we're opening ourselves up to all kinds of security shenanigans.

It's one of those things where we're only going to be okay with it, if we're the ones using it. But that also means other people will be suspect of our code.

It's really a no win scenario, except for inside each of own little bubbles.

That's how I'm finding I feel, too. It's not that I don't use LLMs myself, but I trust myself enough to know how to filter that data that comes back from them and compare it to actual facts. I don't necessarily know the processing of this information from the other person, to trust that they vet the information properly. So instead of it being helpful to me, it becomes incredibly irritating. Especially because I just know they're going to expect me to take that data at face value quite often. And then it's going to be on me to vet the data. How about you just let me get the data myself and cut out the middleman?

I wonder what's going wrong there? Personally I found compatibility and performance on Linux to be extremely good. And just keeps getting better. And that's not even just me, that's all kinds of benchmarks out there. Sorry to hear that. : ' (
