I mean, have you seen these things? It’s entirely possible the monstrosity doesn’t fit in the garage!

You mean the AI that was trained on Reddit shitposts will be helping advance science? The AI that recommended putting glue on pizza, and that you won’t fall off a cliff if you just keep waking?

What could go wrong?

Interest, meet conflict.

Yes, yes it is.

I installed Graphene OS. Loving it so far.

I think LLM’s are incredibly useful in limited circumstances. But it needs to be on-demand, NOT omnipresent.

For example, I’m learning a bit of C#. I was following a tutorial a few weeks ago that had some code I didn’t understand. I spent an hour googling and reading documentation, but found nothing. I headed to ChatGPT and asked it what it meant. It gave a clear, easy to understand explanation.

Unfortunately, the industry is going about this all wrong. Google wants to force Gemini on my Pixel. So I nuked Android. Microsoft silently installed Copilot on my laptop without consent. That laptop is now happily running Linux.

Forcing these tools on people will just alienate people like me. In a way, I’m glad it happened. I’m much more satisfied now that these companies are minimized in my life.
