Altman made himself the face of AI and the Elon Musk further put a target on his back with the litigation trial. Any and all bad outcomes of AI still be blamed on him correct or not.

With how the AI datacenters are built in residencial areas, at some point a kid with a heart condition will die from the side effects of the noise. You already near stories of the screams of children at night where they have nightmares triggered by the constant vibration.

I fully believe one of these parents will eventually get Altman and I have no pitty. I think many people if they saw him dieing, they just would walk away.

I'm being cynical here,and the mods are modding me intentionally so I can't reply to you. This is how bubbles are created.

AI put me in the "humanity cannot be saved camp". I agree that numbers are nice, but the behavior of humanity is showing that we have no intention of changing what we're doing. We're using extreme amounts of power for AI (while people here on slashdot are saying that AI usage is inevitable.) The numbers have NOT changed our behavior.

Look at the other comments in other threads refusing to discuss the environmental impacts of AI. It's great we have solar and wind power growing, but we keep figuring out ways to use it as "free" energy.

Do you truly believe the numbers will make a difference in our behavior as this point?

The Jollaphone with with SailfishOS. https://sailfishos.org/ is the big one.

I think American's don't understand that the US has slowly gone overboard with things like AI that don't fit the values of other countries. This website even often has articles about how Europe's economy is falling behind while ignoring the priorities of people in these countries.

The more I have to interact with AI in private spaces outside of work, the more convinced that the assassination of some of the AI CEOs are coming. Particularly with AI, the US Big Tech is raping everyone around them while wondering why they don't like it. This is from the living conditions around AI Datacenters, to no way to opt out in apps for handling family photos or family chats. It is no longer a "I can just ignore it" type of thing with the current perverse pervasiveness.

I mean we are all constantly on our smart phones... sending AI generated family photos as real photos.... texting loved ones with fake messages... and there is no way out. I think the oceans are fucked with us being so busy with our fake world that have pervaded even into personal private spaces.

I think the outcome of the "fuck you and die if you don't use AI," is more and more assassination attempts on big tech CEOS. This is a magnitude worse than the previous, "Fuck you use a smart phone or die. You can't even order food at restaurant you heathen."

I use a dumb phone despite the progression of everything being absorbed by mobile phone technology. Are the motherfucker why I can't order food at a restaurant?

Or are you going to make excuses about it being different? My wife sent me a family photo doctored with AI. Is that different? Line messenger only lets you turn off AI functionality for 30 days at a time. Fake family photos with fake family conversations in a personal private space.

The way I see it is we're going to see more and more assassination attempts on big tech CEOs. How about you? Or will you make excuses?

AI is likely here to stay, but you are implying that a project also gets to right to support the users it wants.

AI currently has a PR problem. The behavior of the companies around AI is basically, "fuck you, this is the future." The side affect of saying people are going to be losing their jobs incessantly is that people lose their patience having their electricity and water bills raise to help sponsor things that are not in their self interest.

I myself am writing apps to get myself away from these apps that are putting AI front and center. I think there is a growing market to de-AI and stop supporting the tech giants blindly.

I made an article on this, but regardless of how good or bad AI is for us, it's like the people pushing AI are not realizing the words and things they are doing are going to make enemies. Grid price increases, water price increases, robot dogs used to guard AI Datacenters, constant talking about how people will use their jobs, constant talking about you have use their tool to still be useful. Talks of people no longer being able to one a comptuer and having to rent one out from IT companies.

I don't use the microphone button in any apps intentionally. I don't use IDEs for development. I don't like subscription services for everything. I don't need tutorials and notifications everywhere about what's new. I don't have the energy to play games with a chatbot to get information, which will also rob me of the ability to get the first hand information. Fuck you big tech. Like many other people I'll always vote down datacenter construction because I never had an interest in your goods. The tools have turned into nothing more than games trying to monetize my time.

I miss software that doesn't try to talk to me and doesn't try to nag me. Even you apple, please stop offering me a Apple One subscription if I buy on of your devices with no way to get rid of the red notification bubble until it expires. It's all a fucking tragedy of the commons trying to make a quick buck.

If you haven't tried uniffi, you should. It is a Mozilla project that basically lets you integrate Rust into any codebase. It is the core of getting Firefox working on multiple platforms through the C ABI.

For those pushing C over Rust because of Mythos... Rust has more guard rails that can help AI write the code more correctly the first time as well. There isn't much of a reason to stick to C nowadays other than inertia and the skill-set of your existing engineers..

C projects like the Linux kernel might be an obvious case, but plugging it into anything that has a C abi is the other huge use case.

I'm developing some photo and music apps to escape subscription hell. The Mozilla Uniffi linear generates that glue code for you for many many languages. Swift. Kotlin. Go. Python. Ruby. etc.

So what that means is my ios app and Android app use the same business logic. My ios swift code calls Rust functions. My Android kotlin code calls Rust functions.

Yes, Rust is extremely cluttered looking at first. But as you get used to it it's nicely explicit. Once you get used to the patterns it's pretty straight forward even. The macro system also helps a lot to reduce boilerplate hell in an ergonomic way.

I'm still waiting for these laptops to become available in Japan. Otherwise, it is an awkward, buy it in a US store and get it shipped type of deal.

Against Nvidia:

1. 1. Hyper-realistic generative AI is viewed as the cheap fast solution nowadays. it's throwaway in the same way as fast food. What idiot would use that to demo their next great thing?
2. 2. Jensen Huang does not understand the bad-will hate they have gained by the rise in computer prices, as well as other cost of living problems created in various cities. (Rent has sky rocketed in San Francisco again, not to mention electricity and water prices etc.)
3. 3. Tone deaf responses to criticisms.
4. 4. There is a fear of graphics becoming generic because AI is (possibly) helping to rush job wages to the bottom and reducing hiring... which means you'll get the default look of the engine.

For nvidia

1. 1. Graphics engines are just interpretations of game assets. We have raster rendering, path tracing, ray tracing, and now AI rendering. This is just another approach
2. 2. You can argue that even game graphics nowadays are in uncanny value. You only really notice it if you haven't looked at modern games in a few years. That is to say, we are used to current graphics.
3. 3. modern graphics are already generic because of unreal/unity etc.
4. 4. Game developers don't need to disclose their rendering techniques to users, so no one will really know if there are corners cut.

I'm honestly starting to loose interest in a lot of things because of AI. Maybe my opinion will change, but I feel like it is taking a lot of the fun things out of life.

No one would want to live next to one of these data centers. It's not the same kind of problem as a cell tower in your neighbor hood which is mostly just a visual eye sore.

This may help with one of the problem points of data centers, but in the end I think the largest problem is noise, the related health problems, and how it makes property values plummet. You can listen to some of it on this youtube video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

But this looks like a fallacy to destroy the environment to me. While we are making progress on green energy, humanity seems to waste that progress using it as free energy for thinks like AI data centers and bitcoin. The people cheer leading 1.5C climate change to make silly images in ChatGTP or invest in Bitcoin taking us all down with you..

We'll obviously have to change the name of the kernel with new leadership. So I will provide some ideas.

• David Patterson -> Danux
• John Carmack -> Carmux
• Guido van Rossum -> Rossux
• Markus Persson -> Minecraft

Even if these don't become the official name of Linux, these will likely be used to mark the years of reign.
