I know they’re not synonymous. But at some point someone left the marketing monkeys in charge of communication.
My point is that our current “AI” is inadequate at what we’re told is its purpose and should it ever become adequate (which the current architecture shows no sign of being capable) we’re in a lot of trouble because then we’ll have no way to control an intelligence vastly superior to our own.

So our current position on that journey is bad and the stated destination is undesirable, so it would be in our best interest to stop walking.

It’s quite bad at what we’re told it’s supposed to do (producing reliably correct responses), hallucinating up to 40% of the time.
It’s also quite bad at not doing what it’s not supposed to. Meaning the “guardrails” that are supposed to prevent it from giving harmful information can usually be circumvented by rephrasing the prompt or some form of “social” engineering.
And on top of all that we don’t actually understand how they work in a fundamental level. We don’t know how LLMs “reason” and there’s every reason to assume they don’t actually understand what they’re saying. Any attempt to have the LLM explain its reasoning is of course for naught, as the same logic applies. It just makes up something that approximately sounds like a suitable line of reasoning.
Even for comparatively trivial networks, like the ones used for written number recognition, that we can visualise entirely, it’s difficult to tell how the conclusion is reached. Some neurons seem to detect certain patterns, others seem to be just noise.

Because self-hosting email is a major pita. Maybe mostly because of Google.

To;dw?

You can’t prevent people from believing whatever insane nonsense they wish and I don’t think anyone should.
We should, however, ban institutionalised religion. No one’s imaginary friend should be given any legal rights or powers, let alone tax exemptions.

It is a good distro. It’s just that the documentation is either outdated, inaccurate or inexistent and that the learning curve is parallel to the y-axis.
The community, somewhat understandably, has limited time and willingness to explain the same things over and over, yet for some reason refuses to conclude that rigorously maintaining a wiki is their best bet to combat this situation and will ultimately be less effort than repeating the same explanations.

How else are you supposed to get rid of undesirables? /s

AI assisted coding is the norm.

That doesn’t mean it’s good.

If only

Wikipedia does

Not like they have a choice. The real problem is they have something to give them.

Also Knirps for collapsible umbrellas.

Even better. There’s a generic that just abbreviates the German name of the active substance for its name: AcetylSalicylSäure

And nothing of value will be lost?

Which seems like good progress. I feel like they were in denial not three weeks ago.

It was the first and last time he did, too.

Obvious /s

Did some Linux cultist downvote my real concerns because the reality they were slapped with disagreed with their fictitious worldview?

I’d guess you got downvoted because you expect other people to solve your problems. You expect someone to promise you it will work without any issues.
Instead of putting in the work and just trying it. You don’t have to go all in, either. Just make some space on the drive and do a parallel install. Dual boot.
Best case: you find out many things with little to no effort and such permanently, gaining freedom.
Worst case: you switch back, having learned something useful.
But don’t expect strangers to exactly know your use case. It’s your computer. Take ownership of it!
