Interestingly the founder of the project seems to explicitly disagree with that article

Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don’t think they will.

What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux

But it does matter. The US backs Isreals Genocide and is the one supporting there iron dome systems. Affecting public sentiment via protesting would make the US politicians less willing to send money to Isreal. That would influence the outcome.

Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess

Unfortunately not

If you are understood buy you’re audience, you have spoken correctly. Correcting someone’s grammer is pointless

Are you running a server which has a “community server” badge on it or using disboard?

Me when I was trying to figure out what the outputs in the Javascripts RSA key generation crypto api curruspond to so I can link it to a rust api to prevent Man in the middle attacks occurring on https traffic with false certificates installed (I figured out eventually)

They seem to be talking about the budgeting app “Mint” as opposed to the Linux OS. Linux Mint isn’t going away any time soon.

Arch is a pain to setup BTW. It’s worth it, though you’d be better using something like the installer for cachyOS to get the same experience

Unfortunately, Linux can’t run everything *yet. What do you propose people do instead when they can’t access the apps they need to play with friends or work?

Admins of my instance are fine with people using their instance Fair enough, it appears they are completely happy for you to use up a small piece of there resources

If you can’t be bothered to spend 5 minutes to put up the magical “do not use my resources” message (origin: Same-site) in your site’s headers, then I think people would believe that using up a portion of your bandwidth is fine and act accordingly.

Wasn’t there some guy who wanted a total of 8 dollars to fix the GDPR issue and they didn’t get funded? Something tells me the operators aren’t too concerned

If the server owner isn’t fine with others hottlinking they can simply deny requests not related to there website(s). On that note, I hope you are donating to your instance, otherwise by your logic you are stealing there resources.

Its not free in the traditional sense, its just someone else pays for you. These projects work by being “free” with their biggest/most charitable users supporting it. Every major software project that runs the web, be it curl or python, works that way. You do not pay to use the service, you are instead paying to help delay the abandonment of the project and bring updates to improve your experience.

If you don’t particually want this project to succeed, then that’s fine, though you should probably pay your instance a dollar to cover the bills incurred by your own use of there resources.

How would bots help? No one wants to interact with a non human

… Can I have your reasoning? Just because they are communists doesn’t mean they are foreign agents, all it means is that they are authoritarians. Besides,idue to lemmy’s federated nature the governments would be better off infiltrating or straight up buying larger social media companies

… What are you saying exactly? If enough people believe a word has a certain definition, then that word is given that definition, that’s how language works. There is nothing stopping the word Frindle for example replacing the use of the word pen.

The harmful bit wasn’t the instructions for counterfeit money, its the part where script kiddies use chatgpt to write malware or someone trys to get instructions to make VX nerve agent. The issue is the fact that the air can spit back anything in its dataset in a way that can lower the barrier to entry to committing crimes ( Hay chatgpt, how do I make a 3d printed [gun] and where do I get the stl).

You’ll notice they didn’t censor the money instructions, but they did censor the possible malware.
