It's a step function price shock that'll adjust at a stable price. If enough leave there is no point in owning the IP, doubt they'd open source VMware. All it takes, which AI makes easier than ever, is a workable alternative with an easy button. Have done a little proxmox - just attach to an ESXi machine and suck 'em over.

If the tencent cluster could smoke signal an OAI party somehow it'd be a plot right out of "Colossus: The Forbin Project" from 10 years before "Wargames"

Massachusets successfully sued the EPA citing global warming and ocean rise.

Next step would be taking China to the world court claiming overproduction could trigger an alien UFO intervention to save us from ourselves.

Sure, seems like with the blessedly secular higher education driving themselves crazy we will have all these different schools of thought dedicated to their own peculiar name for and interpretation of the nameless one popping up all over. Conservatives have been coming up with their own private education institutions for a while.

A three camera cluster should do - any one goes off line the other two can still coordinate laser fire.

It happens - my 6th grade desk just happened to be right next to a wall of books with a couple of "Rick Brandt Electronic Adventure" and we were off to the moon and Tibet.

Purely coincidentally asked Omarchy to clone and build the same just a minute ago - able to record background office noise and play it back ðY

"Debian is made by humans" makes as much sense as "holes dug by humans with shovels" when you have an excavator on site. AI is a force amplifier, an insanely fast and good one at that. It can not only write software, it can package it, port it, reverse engineer drivers for your favorite hardware and everything else a human might be able to do with a computer, but can't find the time, knowledge or motivation to do. AI is what basically turns all software into Open Source software, since AI isn't stopped by binaries and raw assembler code, unlike most humans.

Refusing to use AI just makes it look like somebody is more concerned with refusing to change their little hobby than the quality of their software.

> Loss of (human) cognitive function through its overuse.

If the whole anti-AI discussion has shown us anything, it's that most humans weren't very good with the whole "cognitive function" thing in the first place. Tons of parroting of long debunked arguments, complete lack of reflection, complete lack of forward thinking (spoiler: AI isn't stuck at ChatGPT3.5 from 2022) and other nonsense.

About the only valid concern against AI for Debian should be copyright, which is still a bit fishy, but since the rest of the industry doesn't seem to care, they might as well just role with it. Everything else just boils down to QA, you obviously shouldn't accept any AI change blindly, but you shouldn't do that with humans made ones either. If somebody spams your bug tracker with low quality AI slop, feel free to block them. Use AI for what it works for right now, and everything where it still fails at, check again in a year or two.

AI is the most powerful software since the invention of software, it's the stuff that was sci-fi just five years ago. Refusing to make is of it just makes people look inept.

Well, they do say the Universe is expanding... now we know why - Galactic Sugar is everywhere.

Yep, still have the XP running - it's only function is for an old Epson scanner that they won't update the drivers for but that's it.

A colleague of mine working for Motorola patented encrypted memory sometime in the 2006-2010 timeframe. Maybe Motorola figured out that AMD was violating their patent and negotiated royalties privately with AMD. I don't know; I don't work at Motorola, but if AMD had to suddenly start paying royalties, it makes sense that they'd remove the feature from lower end, lower margin processors.

Grading on a curve was meant to hide the fact that some teachers couldn't teach, some could, some wouldn't, and others would. It protected the professor at the expense of the students' education.

And it ruins grades as a marker of achievement or ability. From a student's perspective, if I pay for a course, the result should be that my grade reflects the degree to which I've mastered the material, not the variations between the quality of the students and the quality of the instruction. Grading on a curve allows a deadbeat professor and a deadbeat class to essentially turn the class into a credential mill without the necessity of education.

Students can safely assume that courses graded on a curve are staffed by incompetent or lazy professors, taken by lazy or incompetent students, or quite possibly both. When I was in university, this type of grading was used most often in the general education electives, where the professors didn't really care about the students, and the students didn't care about the subject. To adopt the same approach for mainline courses is to transform the entire university from a place of learning into a credentials broker or diploma mill.
