There is yet to actually be a use case for chatbots that isn't profit-motivated.
The entire effort to find a problem for them to solve has meant ecological harms at a scale that makes crypto mining seem trivial.
The data required has copyright and other commercial use restrictions on it. Much of the data being overtly restricted was never available for harvest to start with.
Given these facts, bringing and end to the LLMs an snaping techbros out of their latest delusion is a good thing.
Oh come on, Proton, you're supposed to be better than this. Chatbots are proven privacy-violation engines. If you're going to act like Google, there's zero reason to pay for your services.
It's more that VR/AR is a high-cost solution still in search of a problem that makes it profitable.
So far the only market for VR is niche entertainment. VRC is fun, but VR games have been arounds for decades and never gotten past novelty.
AR has value as an accessibility tool because it can get around the high cost of some infrastructure changes. But like all accessibility tools, profit-focused eyeballs see it as a small, low-margin market. Enabling human rights is not considered profit.
AI is the last thing you want involved in accounting. Book-keeping and tax preparation are exercises in precision at a very high level of semantic knowledge. You have to understand why money flows through a company. These are skills the chatbots are proven incapable of demonstrating. Moreover, the parts that can and should be automated already have been for the last 15 or so years, with automatic transaction importing and prefiltering tools (none of which used chatbots).
The average business owner is usually overwhelmed with the backend of running a business by the time they come to me. If a client told me they used accounting software with AI features, the first thing I'd do is fully audit their books and review any filings done using chatbot-affected records.
We've been here before. OE firmware needs to be assumed hostile and either replaced with open source aftermarket firmware, or the device sequestered in a subnet with no internet access.
Except that doesn't work in the real world, where encrypted and authenticated boot disks are increasingly common.
So you'll need a significant amount of code that isn't the permanently-resident kernel that has enough device support to access keys and decrypt and authenticate what holds the kernel that will launch the OS.
IOW, you'll just have to reinvent a bootloader anyway.
Or you can address the problems with GRUB, extend it to do what you need, and avoid doing the traditional linux folly of Yet Another Unnecessary Reinvention.
Or was systemd vendor lock-in not enough for your shareholders?
Unfortunately they did it by switching to natural gas instead of the massive sustainable buildout they needed. Good job on reducing thorium and uranium emissions, at least.
You can't "enhance" from zero. LLMs by design are not capable of reason.
We can observe LLM-like behaviour in humans: all those reactionaries who just parrot whatever catchphrases mass media programmed into them. LLMs are just the computer version of that uncle who thinks Fox News is true and is the reason your nieces have to wear long pants at family gatherings.
He doesn't understand the catchphrases he parrots any more than the chatbots do.
Actual AI will require a kind of modelling that as yet does not exist.
Higher frames rates are good, when you actually get more frames. But motion smoothing is a fraud. It interpolates additional frames. In order to make things look consistent, it has to apply addition filtering to the original frames. The result is you get less information overall, not more.
Even worse, it tends to ruin production values when it's a film with a DoP who knows how to exploit the characteristics of film.
It's like interlaced video. Yeah, you motion that looks like 50 or 60 fps, but the actual information is still only 25 or 30 fps, and it's degraded due to the effects of interlacing.
Motion smoothing is this century's interlacing, and in a few decades we'll have archivists running video through a motion desmoothing counterpart to QTGMC.
