The training path still exists, its just up to developers just need to take it.
And script kiddies have always existed and contributed to OS. There has never been a "you must be this clever/qualified/awesome to contribute" bar.
If anything, AI may actually raise the bar for some developers...
The KDE AI policy is pretty explicit about AI code contributions should have the same quality level as non-AI. So the tech debt concern is a nothing.
And there is no dependency risk, you can trivially switch from Claude to opencode w/ self hosted models, the AI companies have literally no moat to lock developers in. Its also entirely optional to use AI.
Environmental concerns are valid, but tech debt and dependency are silly arguments.
I think its simpler than that, its just stock price pumping. They can tell the plebs that they have the tech to put servers in space, and the plebs will eat it up and pump the stock.
You can still destroy the terrestrial base stations.
No one slopping up a GTA clone is gonna be maintaining it. They would just slop up a new one.
Why is Rubik's cube solving gender separated? If a child can hold the record then hand size and strength can't be that significant separators right?
How do they know which trainis will open up to accept the other?
Unity was nice enough, but thats a personal preference, so no arguments there.
And upstart was a good idea, and just about all distros did transition to upstart, but Ubuntu stuck to it long after everyone else had moved on to systemd. Which was just annoying if you had to administer both types of systems.
And mir, bzr, unity, upstart...
Avoid the frontier models. They make it much easier to say "I want X app", and theyll spit it all out. If you use an older model, you have to break down the task a lot more, which at least forces you to think about the architecture. And each task is easier to review.
I use gemma4-12b. It is fine for generating code, but you definitely can't one shot things with it.
Thats before washing the paint off, but the paint removal didnt affect the lasered section. Definitely a fun tool.
Open or not, I wouldn't put one in the house with kids around. It really should be in a secured workshop/shed that kids cannot access. Closed might be "safer", but the safest tool is the one kids physically can't get near at all.
And definitely make sure you get the exhaust setup correctly, the fumes are nasty.
You can engrave glass with a laser diode, only catch is that you have to paint it first. I got some $2 washable acrylic paint from a craft shop and it worked great. And easily washed off afterwards.
Not sure if that can be replicated for metal though, but im definitely curious to try now.
