You underestimate the network effects of a distro being popular, more people means more likely hood of your specific issue having been mentions online somewhere and a solution being available.

As a sysadmin with years of experience I can tell you now chatgpt is almost never right, giving outdated or subtley wrong advice and commands that are fine as a shortcut if you already know the commands and can correct or ignore the mistakes, but exceptionally dangerous if you are just learning the ropes. The documentation is long for a reason, there are often lots of corner cases or exceptions to be aware of.

Then deliberately adding them to poison the data available for tracking would be another way to disrupt this would it not?

Sounds like LLM is a good fit for replacing management layers now then.

Only works if they get their competitors "regulated" so other models can't offer unrestricted features for a lower price.

Isn't that bad for the big US AI companies? The only thing they are doing that actually makes money is selling their inference service on their private models and they need to make a much larger profit on it to even start paying off the interest on the debt they have accrued on infrastructure and training costs.

This is in my opinion why there is all the scare mongering to try and lock out open weight competition to prevent decoupling inference from the models being run. Otherwise inference just becomes a low margin utility service and the big tech companies that have bet big on AI lose big.

Hates the idea of anyone but his company having it and reducing the provision of inference services to that of a low margin utility he means.

Isn't this exactly the same pattern seen with voice assistants like echo? Cost loads to develop, people generally like using them but arent willing to pay for them or tolerate blatant advertising by them.

What is stupid is referring to AI as if it was just one tool when actually it's a bunch of tools, some of which are easier to use sensibly amd some it's near impossible to. Fancy auto complete like it's being compared to sure, fully automated do what the fuck you want agents, yeah sooner or later that is going to go wrong and no one is going to know where or why.

They might be fun and interesting, that doesn't make it a great idea to go all in in my opinion, certainly not for anything you would consider important.

It doesn't sound like they are shipping the kernel, only that your kernel must be signed with well known keys which I assume the supported distros are? Still not keen on it personally and wouldn't run the anti cheat myself but at least it's user space.

Why is this a problem? The issue with "social" media isn't kids (or adults for that matter) writing messages to each other, it's the engagement algorithms pushing emotive content to drive engagement and manipulate narratives.

Even then it doesn't have the same effect on the rich than it does on the poor. Rich will often have savings or other assets they can leverage and will mainly have to cut back on luxuries while poor will miss out on essentials.
