Dear Linux enthusiasts,
In these unpredictable times (and perhaps because of them), I feel compelled to send you warm Christmas wishes. May this season bring you moments of peace and an opportunity to find positivity amidst the chaos.
Let’s celebrate the spirit of open-source collaboration and creativity that binds us together, not just as developers or users, but as a community. Whether you’re compiling kernels, tinkering with scripts, or simply enjoying the freedom of choice Linux offers, take this time to unwind and appreciate all that we share.
Here’s to a joyful, calm, and inspiring holiday season. Stay free, stay open, stay strong!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Your fellow penguin at heart.
This is irrational and reactionary.
It’s a take based on an appeal to nature and noble savage fallacies propogated by neolibs and marketing teams making the “organic” play with their products.
AI is just a tool, it’s misuse by Corpos is something we all agree is bad, but by themselves tools do not make you or anyone else less human, nor do glasses make those of poor sight less human etc.
How the absurdity of making such a statement on a sub defined by an identity tied to a computer operating system is beyond me.
Be better.
Edit: and no it’s pointless to argue, nobody changes their minds, I’m just posting stuff like this so assholes I would like to have blocked come out and make themselves known as they always do.
Your 2nd paragraph is just a lie made up in your own head.
AI isn’t a tool, a brush is. A brush or any other tool lets humans create. an IGA (image generation algorithm) often mislabelled as AI doesn’t let you create instead it TAKES what other humans already had created and shushes it together without regard for any artistic expression, since as a computer program, it’s incapable of art. It’s plagiarism with extra steps.
Ai as a thing only exists today because it’s in the interest of corporations to replace humans with machines in order to funnel more wealth to the owning class.
However in a society with class equality AI would be worthless. It cannot “make” anything without someone else already having made that thing first, it’s a waste of time and an erosion to society, a cancer.
You will never change because simply put, you’re not smart enough to. You’re incapable of understanding how and why you’re wrong because you lack the intelligence, education and desire to grow.
