Comment Dumped Grok over this (Score -1) 72

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Ah, the enlightened centrist. You can't name one "forceful" Biden era piece of legislation.
Says the guy posting as anon coward. But anyways, assuming you are not a troll and just a person with the memory of a goldfish, I'll start with the COVID19 restrictions under Biden(where BLM protests were ok, and Hollywood films could be shot, but no going to Church or any other large gatherings, gyms had to be closed). We will then move onto the power grab that was simply forgiving everyone's college debt. And for even more unity I'll present Biden's sith lord speech from Sep 1st 2022. But maybe you aren't a dog faced pony soldier, I can't be sure.

He has killed thousands of Iranians, cost the global economy trillions of dollars, cost the taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, ruined the US's reputation as a dependable and reliable partner, and effectively made the rule of law meaningless... but the exact same regime that does horrible things to Iranians is still in power so... winning?
I do love watching Democrats who spent years w/ their "Slava Ukraini" and blockbuster pins, wanting to ship pallets of cash to Ukraine, start to notice that wars are expensive. It is truly hilarious. Almost as funny as watching the Anti-war left completely disappear once Obama took office. Also, I missed your moral outrage when the Iranian regime killed thousands of Iranians, but maybe I just didn't look at /. that day. As for dependable and reliable partner, you misspelled carry the load completely. After all, going to war without the French, is like going hunting w/out an accordion.

This supercharged the crisis of 2007-2008. not sure there was many articles written about it, but the patterns are the same.
No, that was supercharged by the easy credit loans, and then the subsequent bundling of said loans into CDOs that could be sliced and sold off as low risk despite the loans inside said CDOs being sub prime, and some of those loans were interest only such that the second the rates started to rise, the risk of default exploded. Same kind of imaginary thinking that goes on in the crypto world, "the line must keep going up."

It really is simple. Rust zealotry is 100 percent fact and provable.
Ubuntu 25.10.
What is a foundational tenet of Linux? "We do not break user-space."
But, we do for Rust. Why? Because Rust MUST move forward at speed. Can't pass tests? Fuck it. Works good enough.
Breaks user-space? Yes, but not all the time and not for most people. We are accepting Rust CoreUtils for no other reason that it must be.
It has been decreed. Ubuntu about CoreUtils is Bill, "Fuck it, we'll do LIVE!".
Large performance hiccups, failing tests? Does not matter. Pushing it live will bring the issues to light and we can fix it all over time.
What? That is not how this has ever worked. We do not break user-space. Especially on purpose so we can speed up Rust development.
Rust replacements should exist. Rust replacements should make there way into the systems we are using every day to make things more secure. Rust replacements should work though and not break user-space. If is not an acceptable replacement if it were written in C, then it is not one just because it is written in Rust. Real commands, real scripts, real jobs fail. Anything that works as a drop in replacement should be accepted. (Preferably because it is provably better, not just, "Written in Rust though!". Anything that does not, should not be a default in the release and should stay in the background, getting better till it is ready.

Anything other than that is religious zeal, not making a better Linux.

I see no evidence of that "religion" of which you speak.

Is that evidence enough? "We do not break user-space."
Unless it is to implement Rust based tools in spite of knowing that they fail tests and break user-space. KNOWINGLY
There is definitely a problem. Not with creating Rust. Not with replacing things that can be replaced.
When thought, they knowingly break a foundational rule to implement their religion, it makes the point.

No one is saying that it could not be good.
That said, if you replace parts of the system with incomplete parts because the Rust tool chain is incomplete, you get angry people yelling about how the new Rust replacement can not do the things that they counted on that system to do. Then the Rust zealots tell us why we don't need to do that and that we should completely recode everything we have to work with the new hotness.
"We do not break user-space"
Unless it is done to Rustify something. Then, fuck user-space? No.
Rust should do some stuff. Work where it is complete and can do the WHOLE job. Work on completing the tool chain and build replacements that you can build correctly without shitting all over, "We do not break user-space". If Rust was sticking to that, the world would be moving slowly toward a better, safer place.
As it is, Rust is creating enemies in places where it never needed to.

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

That said, we have traded good paying jobs for cheap imported goods.
Now, that cheap, imported goods are coming from countries that want to see us become part of China and a lot of these pieces of equipment can cause massive security issues, we are faced with a situation in which in order not to die, we have to suffer.
