Dear Big Tech, I get it. You’ve invested massive amounts in your 'AI' (basically keeping the money in a closed loop and patting yourselves on the back).
I get that you needed to 'invent' something new to break the product stagnation.
I understand all of that.But *please*, stop forcing it on us everywhere.
AI should be an option, not an imposition.Those who want to use it know exactly where to find it.
For everything else, we just don't care. I want to go back to being a user and a customer, not your product.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I would say I don't want to be your customer again

@Stomata I mean: being a customer means choosing to be a customer, which is a matter of freedom. Pushing AI everywhere is an imposition. And I'm against any kind of imposition.

@stefano i agree with you 100% - the user should always have the freedom to choose what the user wants. i recently switched to ungoogled chromium/dooble and mojeek search to avoid AI in the web browser and search engine. openbsd and netbsd are fantastic operating systems to avoid the AI. i'm not sure how freebsd's discussion went but i know they were discussing if and how to use it, if at all. AI is creeping into the Linux distributions and the kernel is accepting AI code but that developer takes full responsibility with copyright and other potential issues the code may present.

@stefano the problem is, they don't want customers, they want subscribers. And for that, something like AI is a blessing in disguise - soft forcing you to pay the subsciption fee.. why? because before that, there was a product with let's say 10 major functions - now they are selling the same product, with AI - you don't have to subscribe for their AI functionality, but then the same product will only have 5 out of these 10 functions fully available.

@peterk exactly. You can't own such an "AI" locally. Sure, Open Source models exist but, if I'm not wrong, they're far behind and still require lots of computing power. So it's their dream: something that you need but that nobody else can provide.

Fu un grande del suo tempo, fece cose mirabili, ma sapeva dove viveva e in che epoca.
Provare a tirargli fango mi pare davvero ingeneroso.

Caso di studio sulla comunicazione politica. Ci sono video in cui il non detto fino a ieri pesa più di quanto detto oggi, poi ci sono video che all'apparenza sembrano chiacchiere inutili ma in sostanza ti fanno prendere pernacchie da destra e da sinistra, e infine ci sono video che gettano il marchio dell'ipocrisia sula persona che li mette in circolazione, sul partito in cui milita e le istituzioni che serve. E poi c''è Pina, che li riunisce tutti in un solo messaggio.

@mora @quinta sarò ingenuo, ma io non credo che sia così. L'Europa è stata voluta altrimenti non si sarebbe fatta. Finora è convenuto più o meno a tutti, anche a chi fa guerra ibrida all'Europa (per poi in realtà mandare oligarchi a investirci dentro). Mettendo da parte l'Italia e le dovute fluttuazioni nel corso dei decenni, il tenore di vita medio in Europa è migliorato.
Nell'ipotesi peggiore, ovvero che l'Europa è solo un bancomat, beh, pur sempre meglio di niente. Chissa dove saremmo senza.

Good. Welcome to the dark side and we have cookies.
I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too. CheckMag With the growing number of users jumping from Windows to Linux, I decided to fully take the plunge and dive deep into the Open Source ocean. A few months and several headaches later, it has proved to be the best computer-related decision I've made in over a decade (and perhaps in my entire life). https://www.notebookcheck.net/I-dumped-Windows-11-for-Linux-and-you-should-too.1190961.0.html
