I wouldn’t say there is “no” use case.

For example, a friend of mine is landscape gardener and he regularly uses AI to basically help customers understand what he plans and how it would look. I made him a small webapp where he can simply snap a pic and writes a prompt like: “To this garden, add a small, round base filled with pebbles in the middle, add a bench and two metal poles left and right”. AI generates the pic, he rewrites the prompt a few times and once he’s satisfied, can show it to the customer who then exactly knows how it looks. He used to do that with photoshop himself which took him a lot longer and customers were more often unhappy with the outcome because the picture didn’t show it as clearly as the AI generated pictures do, so he had to do some adjustments, which obviously eats into the profits.

So yeah, there is actually a good amount of use cases. However, none of those use cases requires literal trillions being pumped into the AI industry.

Europeans dream big: they hope that their work will benefit humankind as a whole!

Let’s please not romanticize european business culture. Nestle doesn’t give a shit about mankind as a whole. Neither do Danone or H&M.

True, but I got two problems with that thought chain:

1. I don’t want any outdated dependencies within my network. There might be a critical bug in them and if I back up the images, I keep those bugs with me. That seems pretty silly.
2. If an application breaks because you updated dependencies, you either have to upgrade the application aswell or got some abandonware on your hands, in which case it’s probably time to find a new one.

Damn I remember that book, that was the first book I ever got as a kid

I’m kinda confused by all of the people here doing that tbh.

The entire point of dockerfiles is to have them produce the same image over and over again. Meaning, I can take the dockerfile, spin it up on any machine on gods green earth and have it run there in the exact same state as anywhere else, minus eventual configs or files that need to be mounted.

Now, if I’m worried about an image disappearing from a remote registry, I just download the dockerfile and have it stored locally somewhere. But backuping the entire image seems seriously weird to me and kinda goes against of the spirit of docker.

The thing is, this is most certainly the case. I’m willing to bet that every dev uses LLMs every now for certain tasks. Having it find a bug you just can’t find yourself because you’ve been at the problem for like an hour, or have it implement a method that you already know how it should look like so it’s basically just a big autocomplete. I’m also willing to bet that artists will have LLM generate a concept for an asset if they are really out of ideas. It’s like asking friends “hey can you come up with an idea for X” and then you get 15 different inputs, all of them suck ass but there is something that jiggles your inspiration and lets you come up with something.

Ignoring all the fundamental technical issue with that distro, there’s so much morally bankrupt shit going on with manjaro that no - I’m not making that seperation. For me personally, manjaro users are on the same level as nestle customers.

Eh, whatever floats your boat and fit your needs

Nah, some distros deserve to be shamed. Manjaro is on the top of that list.

Yeah but that would take effort.

I’m never going to understand how people can be so addicted to a game that they would rather deal with ads and AI on OS level

Kinda sad to read, but well. Makes you fit in with the majority of the population.

Game gonna be buggier than skyrim at release and only 10% as fun because it’s vibe coded

The anticheat problem already is fixed. It’s called “don’t play games that don’t support your choices”. These days, no game is worth being put through all that AI bullshit.

Still kinda hurts they own Bethesda now, but considering that company has only produced garbage since FO4 which only was kinda mid, I don’t even mind skipping them.

Don’t use a Microsoft account with Windows

sips tea Ah … come, sit with me for a moment. The tea is hot, and such questions are best answered slowly, with a warm belly.

It is natural to feel anger when one has been wronged. Even the gentlest river becomes violent when dammed for too long. But we must be careful, my friend, not to mistake the force of our feelings for the wisdom of our actions.

You ask why one should not kill their oppressors. The answer is not because they are strong, nor because they deserve mercy, nor because the world would punish you. It is because when you choose to do evil in the name of justice, you quietly invite that evil to live inside you. And once it is settled there, it does not leave easily.

You may believe you are striking only your enemy, but violence has a poor sense of direction. It spills into the soul, changing the person who wields it. The moment you decide that a “good reason” excuses a cruel act, you teach your heart that cruelty can be justified. Soon, it will begin to justify itself.

Oppression is a heavy chain, but hatred forges a second one, but this time around your own spirit. If you destroy another to feel free, you may discover that freedom never arrived, and only the destruction remained. True victory is not standing over your enemy’s body. True victory is refusing to become what hurt you. It is choosing a path that allows you to look at yourself in the mirror without turning away. The right reasons lose their meaning when they are carried by wrong actions. Like tea made with poisoned water, no matter how fine the leaves, the cup will only bring sickness.

So no - do not kill your oppressors. Not for their sake, but for yours. Because the most important battle is not against them, but against the part of yourself that believes goodness can be built from blood.

what’s not to like?

No big kickbacks for politicians through brib … Eeh I mean lobbying.

You can ignore it until he invades your country

The american people, no. But american military is drilled into subservience, it’s basically brain washing. They will absolutely commit any attack the top general commands, which, in america, is the president, so trump himself.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all of them are goign to be fine with it, some might question it. But refusing to follow an order carries severe consequences. I checked out the “laws” for that (https://govfacts.org/government/federal/agencies/defense/understanding-the-uniform-code-of-military-justice-ucmj/) and from what I can understand by this massive wall of text: It’s not unlikely that, by refusing a command to attack, you’ll probably get court-martialed and then discharged from the army and lose all pay and benefits - and that means your life is essentially over in a land like murica where social security doesn’t exist.

Most probably know that so they will rather follow the order than have their life ruined.

Ah, a woman of culture.
