I wonder, if I had a child, would it be possible to raise it to not outsource the thinking process to a program?
With the internet, I ask search engines (usually just the one) for answers other people might give to a problem I also have.
Pre ~y2k that yielded great results, because the internet was populated with sensible information but smart and educated people.
When the masses came, the results became gradually worse, but I still use the internet for answers instead of thinking on my own, but in many cases I'm forced to think on my own anyway.
With AI the source information is already polluted and the program is fantasizing its answers.
But there will be a point where it delivers accurate answers.
My child, should I ever have one, would then use AI like any other tool. Will it have more resources at its disposal or would it be better that it comes up with its own answers?
I am a single child. I spent a lot of time alone, thinking, making sense of the world, figuring things out on my own.
I played C64 games, with terrible graphics, which trained my imagination. I learned English by playing those computer games.
There came a time where I outgrew those simplistic computer games, turned to having a social life, going to parties, getting into music creation, DJing.
Would that also be something my child would do? Use AI, grow up with values the AI suggests to it, abandon it later, search for its own way in life?
Would it even learn another language, when the AI conveniently translates everything on the fly?
I think, before adding yet another thing on our plate most people, including me, don't fully understand, maybe we should focus on the energy problem and having a sustainable place to live.
Amy technological advance is based on having enough energy to fuel it, and in the state this planet, our habitat is right now because of years of uncontrolled energy use, energy must be a priority before anything else.
Unless you believe that AI can solve that riddle.
Recently in the news Microsoft wanted to build small nuclear reactors to power its AI construct, adding a long term health and waste problem.
It's October, it's been over 25°C the recent days, the sea is still 21-23°C. Usually it's much colder.
The amount of fires and floods this year is over the top.
Gnome 2 was great.
Gnome 3 was 10 steps back. And the arrogance of doing it their way just because they like to, not minding usefulness.
So I just am not been using Gnome anymore.
Cinnamon, which does what I want and need and doesn't get in my way. And if it does, an opened issue fixes that, quickly too.
Gnome is like everything from freedesktop.org opinionated, arrogant and ignorant
The arrogance of Lennart has something to do with it.
The way he tends to disregard real bugs as not a bug, since he and his production are perfect and always right.
Numerous cases of that.
Then the security aspect of a jack of all trades process running as one that controls every other process.
Reading logs after a panic and rebooting to check them is a pain in the ass without journald on the chrooting system, reading and parsing logs the same.
There are many reasons to not like systemd and the creator, who incidently after leaving the GNU/Linux is now working for the same company that sought to destroy it, Microsoft.
The above doesn't represent my personal opinion, it's a representation of what reasons people might have.
