Your comment is almost entirely off-topic. This is not about the users using AI, just the developers.

Wow! It looks like you are trying to write an on-topic comment. Would you like me to generate an on-topic comment for you to modify?

I can suggest several different topics for you to select from, and then generate a sample-comment. Let me know what you would like me to do.

The interesting part in light of your previous comment is that off topic comments are in style now. You don't want to be out of style, do you?

If "a lovable, sovereign, AI-native KDE" freaks you out,

Sounds like Microsoft Bob. I hope it can help me with my recipes.

I have no problem with AI being integrated into KDE. One of the core benefits of KDE is its modularity and adaptability. Adding or removing AI, or different AIs, should be reasonably possible.

It also needs to be considered that AI today will not look the same as AI tomorrow, so integrating AI into KDE in a way that is not modular (or easily removeable/changeable) would be a rookie software engineering mistake.

However, I think you'd be a lot less smug and confident if it was your car that was stolen

The police aren't going to find your stolen car with or without flock. That's not what they do.

They also don't stop thieves who steal catalytic converters.

There is definitely room to ask, "What exactly are the police accomplishing?"

Why does demand for bitcoin exist? No government can prevent payments in Bitcoin, that's why it was created. North Korea, Iran, hackers, Wikileaks, etc use Bitcoin. If you want to pay a toll to Iran to transit the strait of Hormuz, you can pay it in Bitcoin. I've heard you can use it to send money over the Russian border to avoid sanctions (I haven't tried).

To be clear I'm not pretending they are the same. I believe in gold as a store of wealth. Bitcoin mystifies me.i don't understand what the fuck any of it rests on.

Everything has a supply curve and a demand curve, including gold and bitcoin. Where the curves cross, that is the price. This is economics 101, which you never took.

Air is more "innately valuable" than gold, but you don't pay money to breathe.

I have 25 years of experience working in codebases good and bad. I have many techniques for handling truly brittle, miserable codebases. These are not bad, are small, and do not give me problems.

This kind of code would give me more problems, but "problems" just means it would take more time. I enjoy working with code that scares other programmers, because I enjoy using the skills I have developed.
