I don't plan on installing Windows at all. The only thing I'd do in my boot drive is have a separate home partition, I won't really do anything else though. Did the corruption you experience happened just on its own? Or was it something you did?
You're the one that doesn't want to see us. I'm more than fine with seeing you.
What I'm trying to say is, if you push rhetoric that supports and subscribes to a state's narrative, that doesn't change no matter how nuanced or informed you say your rhetoric is. The effects of it are the same.
You know, as a general internet arguing advice, when you have no points to make anymore, and the response you write to the other person is literally just a bunch of insults, it's probably better to just disengage.
Labour unions are not the same as a communist party or vanguard but to claim they're not mostly organized and consisting of socialists is just immensely naive and stupid.
Just because you redefine a narrative in Russia's favour as "nuanced" doesn't mean you're now somehow not saying pretty much exactly what Russia wants you to think and say. Same for all the defenses of China and Vietnam.
Then make your own instance and turn it into a safety bubble just for you. Don't ruin it for everyone else.
I think it's dishonest to paint that incident as "plenty of drama". It was a decision most of the community agreed to and those who didn't made a fork. I don't think anyone did anything wrong in that. Compare it to Canonical forcing it's official flavors to break flatpaks and appimages. I think the severity is very different.
Okay I did some research and I was wrong. There is no confirmation Intel specifically removed the IME from NSA's PCs. It's just that some reverse engineers found a flag that supposedly disables it, and their theory is that it was meant for the NSA.
I believe this is the switch System76 and Purism turn off, but as I said, since the blob is still there, we can't be sure that switch actually works or if it's just a trap.
my criticism was against blaming A.I. for things that aren’t problems created by A.I.
So, like, everything? I've talked about the problems and shit AI will cause on us and your only response consistantly was "Yeahhhh but if we completely ban my precious AI then we wont have all of it's nice things! Better to wait until capitalism is magically solved". Then the problems that weren't economics-related you handwaved away. Please illuminate me on a problem you think is real, caused by AI, and that you would be willing to regulate within the bounds of our current system?
because you haven’t made a cohesive point towards anything i’ve specifically said this entire fucking time.
I've argued against your mentality and the mentality of the people that always show up on posts concerned about AI to defend it. I've even responded to specific phrases you said. What else do you even want?
my main concern of unreasonable bias and push against the general concept of A.I. as a whole.
If you don't want people to feel threatened by AI, maybe be willing to fix its threats? Maybe don't just go to something people find concerning and say "we can't dare to do anything about this!" and try to reframe it as some sort of tragic prevention by the ignorant masses?
i even specifically said " i have advocated for particular A.I. tools to get much more regulation for over 5-10 years. how long have you been addressing the issue?"
That means nothing to me. Those are just words. Your actions have been vehemently defending AI and trying to convince me that curtailing it is pointless, while also trying to appear concerned about its threats. Those are completely contradictory positions that you held now, and that's what I pointed out. I don't care what you have been doing for years.
jesus christ you are just an angry accusatory ball of sloppy opinions. maybe try a conversation next time instead of aggressively wasting people’s time.
When have I ever obbligated you to respond to me? I've never hidden that this topic and people who think like you make me angry. If you didn't want to deal with it you could have just ignored me.
It does make me angry. It makes me angry to see so many people be threatened so unfairly. It makes me angry to see people not care about that and prefer seeing further sophistication of a thoughtless algorithm over lives, but at least those people are honest. Dishonesty is what makes me livid. Those that have the same attitude but know they'd sound awful if they said it straight forwardly, so they try to find a hip and cool thing to parade as. It's totally anti-capitalist to not want to stop capitalist corporations abusing workers to replace them bro, trust me.
What are you on about? Who's talking about "completely getting rid of AI"? And you accuse me of strawmanning? I didn't even argue that it should be stopped. I argued that every single time anyone tries or suggests doing anything to curtail these things people like you jump out to vehemently defend your precious programs from regulation or even just criticism, because we should either completely destroy capitalism or not do anything at all, there is no inbetween, there is nothing we can do to help anyone if it's not that.
Except there is. There are plenty of things that can be done to help the common people besides telling them "well just tough it out until we someday magically change the fundamentals of the economic system of the entire world, nerd". It just would involve restricting what these things can do. And you don't want that. It's fine but own up to it. Trying to have this image that you really do care about helping but just don't want to help at all unless it's via an incredibly unprobable miracle pisses me off.
false information? already a problem without A.I. always has been. media control, paid propagandists etc. if anything, A.I. might encourage the main population to learn what critical thought is. it’s still just as bad if you get rid of A.I.
For someone who accuses others of not understanding how AI works, to then say something like this is absurd. I hope you're being intellectually dishonest and not just that naive. There is absolutely no comparison between a paid propagandist and the irrecognizable replicas of real things you could fabricate with AI.
People are already abusing voice actors by sampling them and making covers with their voices without their permission and certainly without paying. We can already make amateur videos of the person speaking to pair it up with the generated audio. In a few years when the technology innevitably gets better I will be able to perfectly fabricate a video that can ruin someone's life with a few clicks. If this process is sophisticated enough there will be minimal points of failure, there will be almost nothing to investigate and try to figure out if the video is false or not. No evidence will ever mean anything, it could all be fabricated. If you don't see how this is considerably worse than ANYTHING we have right now to falsify information, then there is nothing I can say to ever convince you. "Oh, but if nothing can be demonstrably true anymore, the masses will learn critical thought!" Sure.
say you succeed. A.I. is gone. nothing has changed. inequality is still getting worse and everything is terrible. congratulations! you managed to prevent countless scientific discoveries that could help countless people. congrats, the blind and deaf lose their potential assistants. the physically challenged lose potential house-helpers. etc.
This is what I mean. You people lack any kind of nuance. You can only work in this "all or nothing" thinking. No "anti-AI" person wants to fully and completely destroy every single machine and program powered by artificial intelligence, jesus christ. It's almost like it's an incredibly versatile tool that has many uses that can be used for good and bad, It's almost like we should, call me an irrational emotional snowflake if you want, put regulations in place so the bad uses are heavily restricted, so we can live with this incredible technology without feeling constantly under threat because we are using it responsibly.
Instead what you propose is, don't you dare limit anything, open the flood gates and let's instead change the economic system so that the harmful don't also destroy people economically. Except the changes you want not only don't fix some of the problems unregulated and free AI use for everything bring, they go against the interests of every single person with power in this system, so they have an incredibly minuscule chance of ever being close to happening, much less happening peacefully. I'd be okay if it was your ultimate goal, but if you're not willing to have a compromise on something that could minimize the harm this is doing in the meantime without being a perfect solution, why shouldn't I assume you just don't care? What reasons are you giving me to not believe that you simply prefer seeing the advancements of technology rather than the security of your fellow humans, and you're just saying this as an excuse to keep it that way?
on top of that, we lose the biggest argument for socializing the economy going forward, through massive automation that can’t be ignored or denied while we demand a fair economy.
Right, because that's the way to socialize the economy. By having a really good argument. I'm sure it will convince the people that have unmeasurable amounts of wealth and power precisely because the economy is not socialized. It will be so convincing they will willingly give all of that up.
Coreboot doesn't disable the IME by the way. It just gets rid of some of it's functionality blobs and sends a signal to it telling it to please disable itself. No one knows if that signal actually works. Only Intel themselves can actually fully remove it from a processor, like they did with the processors they sold to the NSA.
It's mostly large companies, some models are open source (of which only some are also community driven), but the mainstream ones are the ones being entirely funded by, legally protected by, and pushed onto everything by capitalist olligarchs.
What other options do you have? I'm sick and tired of people like you seeing workers lose their jobs, seeing real people used like meat puppets by the internet, seeing so many artists risking their livelihoods, seeing that we'll have to lose faith in everything we see and read because it could be irrecognizably falsified, and CLAIMING you care about it, only to complain every single time any regulation or way to control this is proposed, because you either don't actually care and are just saying it for rhetoric, or you do care but only to the point you can still use your precious little toys restriction-free. Just overthrow the entire economic system of all countries on earth, otherwise don't do anything, let all those people burn! Do you realize how absurd you sound?
It's sociopathic. I don't say it as an insult, I say it applying the definition of a word, it's a complete lack of empathy and care for your fellow human beings, it's viewing an inmaterial piece of technology, nothing but a thoughtless word generator, like inherently worth more than the livelihood of millions. I'm absolutely sick of it. And then you have the audacity to try to seem like the reasonable ones when arguing about this, knowing if you had your way so many would suffer. Framing it as anti-capitalism knowing that if you had your way you'd pave the way for the olligarchs to make so many more billions off of that suffering.
I am so tired of techno-fetishist AI bros complaining every single time any of the many ways in which AI will devastate and rot out daily lives is brought up.
"It's not the tech! It's the economic system!"
As if they're different things? Who is building the tech? Who is pouring billions into the tech? Who is protecting the tech from proper regulation, smartass? I don't see any worker coops using AI.
"You don't even know how it works!"
Just a thought terminating cliche to try to avoid any discussion or criticism of your precious little word generators. No one needs to know how a thing works to know it's effects. The effects are observable reality.
Also, nobody cares about advertising companies? What the hell are you on about?
That's the thing with 100% community backed distros. There's never any drama, there's never any controversial decisions, the most you'll hear of is some leader figure being replaced or not treating others well. Honestly it's what Linux should be in the first place.
I hadn't thought of it that way, it makes sense. Thank you for the nice explanation.
I mean, in my eyes Canonical is already evil. SUSE is pretty nice right now, but like I said, them being nice is nothing but a luxury. There's no guarantee it wont happen, and you could probably argue it's fated to happen eventually.
Any tips for when I do switch, by the way?
Thanks for the help. Both of my drives are SSDs, the boot drive is M2 and the storage is SATA. I've heard filesystems that support compression would be better for their health and lifespan as they'd have to write less. But yes, no matter what, I will keep constant backups. Snapshots would be appreciated, but since I'll run Debian I don't think they'd be that necessary, if to have them there's a lot of problems to deal with in exchange.
