From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ridiculous anti-AI hysteria is pushed by the AI companies themselves to make the anti-AI side look insane. Don't fall for it.
plus there is absolutely no way of knowing how many of the pro-AI voices are even real people
the hysteria is taking on a new life of its own and i guess it makes sense considering how people's materials conditions are being diminished on our education system as well as our media doesn't enable us to understand why or how.
I mean, I'm not sure the hysteria is completely unreasonable. AI does pose multiple legitimate threats and should be used responsibly, and not trusted with certain duties. We've also seen that the powers that be treat the world around them like a fratboy treats a drunken co-ed (it's meant to be disgusting), and that the constant growth demanded by the shareholders leaves no room for ethics, morals, or big-picture thinking.
I use AI. I also built my own for simple tasks. I've had a lot of experiences with AI at this point, and its generous to say the pros-cons are a wash. The use-cases I and most normies see is AI expediting an already blazing fast enshitification of everything around us.
And to weaken the FOSS communities I guess. Plain information warfare.
I feel like a lot of the online discord about it are Chinese/Russian bots generating “look at how unreliable AI is” pictures to manipulate the western powers to shoot itself in the foot. And they use those of us on the left to do it because are greatest Strength is our emotions but it’s also the easiest way to manipulate us.
Outrage works really well on my fellow leftists. And AI makes them so freaking emotional now, it blinds them I feel. Just like we have learned that a tooon of the online outrage from the BLM movement was bot(not literal bot) generated. And it made us look insane and that’s how we partially got trump
Ho boy, found the MAGA
"Hello, my fellow leftist. I see you are a human. I too am a human. I enjoy having the skin, too. Haha. We are alike."
Lmao far from it. I never said blm’s concerns weren’t legitimate, just that the movement got hijacked online to encourage you to burn (mostly black) neighborhoods.
