Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same time the potential it has is immense, especially as an assistant on personal computers (just look at what “Apple Intelligence” seems to be capable of.) Gnome and other desktops need to start working on integrating FOSS AI models so that we don’t become obsolete. Using an AI-less desktop may be akin to hand copying books after the printing press revolution. If you think of specific problems it is better to point them out and try think of solutions, not reject the technology as a whole.
TLDR: A lot of ludite sentiments around AI in Linux community.
The prize of the competition is what the competitors compete for. There’s a prize and the winner gets it; the loser doesn’t get it.
Why is this so hard to understand? I guess it’s nature’s way of weeding out the losers.
So what’s the prize for Linux desktop would get? For for-profit cooperation, that’s market share and revenue. Yet, as far as I concern, most Linux desktop doesn’t chase market share, nor earns revenue.
It’s to out-compete the competitors so as not to become obsolete. … also I hope you’re aware that I’m saying all of this ‘ironically’, to poke fun at the mental gymnastics in the OP’s post.
Oh. I get it now.
