@[email protected] Linux itself is heavily using AI models. Therefore, every Linux distribution moving to recent kernel versions is heavily built on top of using AI models. Creating a Linux distribution not heavily using it would require a hard fork of the Linux kernel and many other projects. It's unclear what would be accomplished by banning AI for a tiny portion of the code while continuing to use Linux, AOSP, Chromium and hundreds of other projects heavily using it. We'd still be benefiting from it.

GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

    You cannot put the evils back into Pandora’s Box when it was already open.

    Even if these companies sink, individuals can still use their own hardware for AI. Ai is here to stay whether we like it or not.

      So where are all the 3D TVs? Where’s the Nintendo Virtual Boy? Betamax? Google Wave? Google+? NFTs?

      Oh not transformational enough?

      Ok then how long did it take electric vehicles to come back after The fossil fuel industry killed them in like 1920?

      Oh here’s a good one: thalidomide. That one went away for good.

      How about the hole in the ozone layer?

      Sorry, AI is only a foregone conclusion because apparently everyone’s had their consent beautifully manufactured to an extreme degree.

      stop. calling. slop. ai. It’s a shitty subcategory of it. Just like actual dog poo is a subcategory of organic chemical compounds.

      Sure you can. Because in this case Pandora’s box is something which exists solely through a sustained, inconceivable amount of money being continuously funneled into it without any guaranteed long term benefit to the people who do so. It’s a technology which isn’t sold as a product as it exists in its current form, but a theoretical future form.

      If the bottom were to fall out from under it tomorrow, it couldn’t even continue to exist as it is now, it would disappear entirely as there would be no financial incentive to keep it running. Individuals could still run what we have now offline, but its value and usefulness would degrade rapidly as time went on, because it relies on mass-scale power consumption and data theft to remain up to date, much less improve.
