Yep, and they suck at analogies too. The old format usually had fairly enlightened people encounter an injustice, usually making it right in some way. It's morality theater. Discovery made the Federation itself dark and edgy and the people on board a complete mess, not a world I'd like to live in. Maybe that's what some people perceive when they complain about "politics".

It is impressive, but the marketing around it has really, really gone off the deep end.

It was a misnomer there too, but at least people didn't think a bot playing C&C would be able to save the world by evolving into a real, greater than human intelligence.

Looks like it is not any smarter than the other junk on the market. The confusion that people consider AI as “intelligence” may be rooted in their own deficits in that area.

Yep, because they believed that OpenAI's (two lies in a name) models would magically digivolve into something that goes well beyond what it was designed to be. Trust us, you just have to feed it more data!

And now people exchange one American Junk-spitting Spyware for a Chinese junk-spitting spyware. Hurray! Progress!

That's the neat bit, really. With that model being free to download and run locally it's actually potentially disruptive to OpenAI's business model. They don't need to do anything malicious to hurt the US' economy.

It's kinda funny. Their magical bullshitting machine scored higher on made up tests than our magical bullshitting machine, the economy is in shambles! It's like someone losing a year's wages in sports betting.

It's one of those sentences where you can put the emphasis on any of the words and get different implications.

Nobody’s going to be fine.

Not even Elon?

Etcher seems stable! But it's also a well over 100 MB download for a disk image writer. Rufus does more in less than 1% of the download size and also has a GUI.

It's a lot like commissioning something from an artist. You have to describe what you want, with the style, details and mood you want to see, then maybe go back and forth a few times until it's just right. Doing that well is a skill, so are things like art direction. But replacing the humans executing on the direction with a machine doesn't suddenly make the directing human an artist.

They probably don't share my concern. I hope they are right.

If you like Arch you might like Void, it has roughly similar ideals and a very fast package manager. No AUR equivalent though.
