It looks more some sort of "ponderation", which is in disuse from the Internet since 2014, maybe 2013.

If it has local LLMs and other models it is gonna have gigantic minimum requirements.

Call me what you want, but the idea of a Linux distribution where you can modify config files using natural language like "make my taskbar 25% bigger and map meta+E to a new yazi window in terminal" without having to rummage in /etc for config files or hunt a specific command syntax sounds like something that would help both the seasonned sysadmins and newbies make the most of their distributions.

Sure, a mistake could take you to grub rescue, but we could easily build guardrails around this, and I was already doing it to myself without the help of AI, so...

Yeah, I imagine it will be hard AF, but I will do it in stages as all overconfident people do. Breaking it down into smaller steps so that...It doesn't become overwhelming.

This is pretty cool

I am neither schizophrenic, particularly religious, or paranoid enough to make a TempleOS. That poor dude, may he rest in peace, nobody recognized the signs, they just egged him on and causing him to spiral further.

The theme of this yet to be OS will likely be: What if retro aesthetics met modern, hennies?

And just like a tool, it can be too dull, too sharp, or just wrong for the job.

First of all, no it's not. A hammer is a tool. There's only one person responsible for taking it and making it useful: you. The fire department is not a tool. It performs a useful function which you can initiate, but it requires a complex chain of logistics which involves large amounts of resources and specially trained humans at every step to continue functioning. AI is a service.

Second of all, even if we accept that it is a tool, a jackhammer that has a specialized tip made from a rare material mined almost exclusively using slave labor which needs regular replacement and which runs exclusively on a smelly gasoline engine which everyone around you then has to breathe is not a tool "like any other" and using it is not a neutral act. When you use Claude, you are giving money and support to a company that buys, scans, and then shreds physical copies of rare books; scrapes independent websites until their servers give out, actively circumvents webmasters' attempts to block them, and then lies about respecting opt-out signals; builds datacenters in disadvantaged areas that do everything from raising power bills and making power service less reliable for nearby residents to raising the temperature of places up to a mile away and producing inaudible infrasound that causes everything from irritability through hearing loss to siezures; powers those datacenters in part using natural gas turbines that produce significantly less electricity and more pollution than the same amount of natural gas in a natural gas power plant; and sells their technology to militaries which use them to design guided bombs.

And that's before we even get started on what every single study on the cognitive effects of prolonged LLM use, even by trained professionals automating things they can do themselves, has revealed (in a sentence, use that muscle or lose it).

"AI" is not just another tool to me, it is a political and economic effort to disenfranchise the skilled, for example by scraping countless sites and doing their best to launder the data. In this way they will be channeling skill in to their own hands, while channeling wealth out of the hands of those who are skilled. Sam Altman already said that the goal is turning intelligence into a utility like water or power, to make the masses dependent on them to source information. To do anything complex technologically. That doesn't seem much like just a simple tool to me. By design, in order to boost engagement with chatbots, the empty and hollow interactions have a parasocial quality...On the surface seeming polite and helpful (but software can never feel sad, happy, horny, or make decisions so there is just dead air on the other side). That can get people to engage with it for countless hours, isolate them from real people, put them into a state of psychosis even. Does that seem like just a mere tool to you?

Aside from some of those major concerns, it even hurts the environment, people's understanding of code (which is intentional by the way), has caused massive economic consequences when people are lain off because CEOs are so delusionally into LLMs in the workplace thinking it will be the god that can print them everlasting profits. However, the use of so called AI, will just increase the technical debt, make code unmaintainable, cause problems that nobody can fix because they don't understand their own code anymore (because they were forced to engage with the things and just full send absolute nonsense without editing). You can think what you like, but I don't trust LLMs or the source of them. It's just very sus to me, I won't ever use them. As you never talk to software, not even once.
