There’s no good reason to walk while wearing an AR headset. You might get exercise. If you bump into someone, you might get hurt.
It’s so much better to ride around wearing an AR headset instead. If someone bumps into you, you have the opportunity to draw blood. And you just got a great deal on liability insurance! Also, there’s no chance it will run out of power and you’ll have to push or carry it back to the car.
So I say go for it!
LLM’s are only one kind of AI program. How smart would we be, if we only used the speech areas of our brains? It’s important to be able to complement language with other kinds of thinking.
The problem with neutral network technology is the vast computational resources it requires to learn. The brain also requires enormous computing power, but brains grow organically and can efficiently run on corn and beans.
To compete, AI systems will need to become much more efficient in the way they learn and process. Venture capital only goes so far. The subscription fees for ChatGPT don’t earn enough money to even cover the electricity costs of running the system.
I currently use pop-os which is an Ubuntu derivative. I use it because it works well, is easy, and it’s smoother than Ubuntu. My second choice would be Kubuntu if I wanted to commit to KDE. My reasons are that I’m doing important business on all my computers and I don’t want to spend a lot of time trying to troubleshoot things that don’t work. So I stick to the LTS releases nowadays.
A downside of my approach is that it’s less customizable, not as up to date and slightly constraining.
Over the years I have used a lot of different distributions. I’ve had many success and even more failures.
So many people have strong feelings about their favorite distros. The big differences are about ease of installation and configuration, stability, open source vs. proprietary code, community support and ability to customize. Other than that, they are all basically Linux.
Arch is not for the faint of heart but it is awesome if you can get it installed. And they have a great support community. There are a lot of Arch variants that are easier to install.
Duct tape.
