Ethical AI, sure, let's increase energy consumption because climate change isn't a thing. We should also run our military drones and guided missiles with FOSS, so they're ethical.
.
Yeah if Fedora start putting AI crap in the OS, I'm done with them. If it is just a program I can install at my discretion, then I am fine with it.
I want local AI with the ability to create multiple "instances" that are each based on data I provide it, and 0 censorship.
ngl, tired of hearing about wayland. Its awful and its never going to be a viable replacement for x11. It provides no significant improvement over x11 while breaking half of the apps and services we've become dependent on.
I use both Proton and Standard Notes. Hope this is good news…
There's one local use of LLMs on Linux freely available now, and it's great. Speech Note does speech to text, text to speech, and translation, using one of a number of models that can be downloaded. The speech to text, using the large Whisper model, is better than anything I have ever seen: it got "less well known eleventh century hagiographer" accurately on the first test we did. Haven't tried text to speech, and a quick test of translation suggested something at about the same level as Google Translate–useful, but with basic grammatical errors.
The speech to text, though not real time, made me realise that there is a use for LLMs in my little world, and Speech Note handles recorded voice files, which is the obvious use for the desktop.
Ending music is very French. I love it!
Ai decompiler
is pika os equivalent to nobara !?
I don't care about what Fedora decides to put in or not put in, but having a decent Open-Source LLM would be huge
For the people sad bc they will have to stop playing LoL, Play a REAL and ORIGINAL MOBA: Dota2
14:59 A company will definitely try to Suyu!
I just received a whole bunch of updates over this weekend, one of course was the updated proprietary Nvidia Driver. My laptop screens highest rated refresh rate is 120hz and could never achieve anything above 60hz, nor was G-sync recognised within the Nvidia controller gui even with the recommended driver, so I decided to try the Nvidia 545 driver and to my surprise everything worked fine except for variable refresh, it's stuck at 60hz, however going through past experience I decided to do a Bios reset " Enroll all Factory default keys" did a restart and it fixed the highest screen refresh rate problem apart from being variable, I'll take what I can so all my Nvidia settings are acceptable in my opinion.👍 So it's just a matter of waiting for Linux distros to come up with a generic driver for the keyboard back lighting to work.
Hey, I know this is not the place I'm supposed to ask this in, but have you got any idea on how to connect to wifi on a Musl LLVM Gentoo install without wpa_supplicant ; nmcli ; iwctl/wifi or any simular commands. USB tethering doesn't work. I've tried to boot from a live USB of another system and copy both the kernel and the binary command files themselfes, but it doesn't seem to work. I've made sure my wifi itself works properly. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I like AI in Linux, it's just an assistant like any other program. Not catching up with the rest of the computing world will only put linux users at a disadvantage
12:15 kaboom to the point
"Sorry, we don't support operating systems that don't let us tamper with the kernel" -Riot Games
very unpopular opinion in the linux community but I fundamentally disagree that kernel level anti-cheat should not be pursued. You touched on how it was so much more effective, but other non-boot state attesting anti-cheats can't compete. You say there are other better ways of making anti-cheats but there are none. I'm a very competitive first person shooter player and no game has come close to Valorant in terms of the low level of cheating, Riot's Vanguard is simply more effective because it's the best and it's the best because it can attest to so much information. It's extremely invasive, if your threat model includes TenCent forcing Riot to turn over data or a backdoor from a company like that, then yeah either don't play it or like me, have it on a separate device. But low-level anti cheat is here to stay because it is simply so effective and there are no other alternatives.
Damn it. I'm on Fedora…
I'm writing this on a computer with Fedora, as an experiment. It's not all I hoped for, as I was thinking of using it at work. And AI definitely made me stay wirh anything else. I'm going back to install some sort of Debian instead. AI? Really? Nope from me.
Don't worry, I'll still watch your videos 🙂
I can not speak for everyone, but I have been considering moving back to Mint or Ubuntu from my MacBook because I want to get away from GPT style AI on everything. 😅
In 2 years there’ll be 63 forks of AI open source projects because one doesn’t like another or has an itch that ones can scratch. Open AI models from Meta will be used.
Ah that anti cheat argument, you need kernel level access but my 12 year old account with purchase history and phone number is still matched with accounts that are 2 weeks old and win every game.
Fully agree on No Kernel Access for something as frivolous as anticheat (that doesn't work 100 per cent anyway!). I'm okay missing out on badware. Thanks, Nick! 🥰 🐧
gnome is not a desktop, its a toaster menu app
I want all out of any place that wants to go "all in" on our current iteration of AI. It's currently just thievery and probability math, not smarts.
First of all, I wouldn't call it "AI" what we are being served now is simply clever algorithms but there is nothing of intelligence there…. and this expression "AI" is it is heavily abused.
I see nothing wrong in the integration of so-called artificial intelligence in the system – if it improves the comfort of working with the system then why not ? It's a pity they didn't start working on it earlier. I do not understand the people who are so strongly against it, it seems to me that they suffer from some kind of obesity and paranoia, everything can be used for a bad purpose, even a soup spoon….
Ai is gay as shit
10:10 actually, it's through a config file only now.
I hate AI were it is not supposed to be. Does this mean I have to switch distros again???
Oh new outro music
So does wayland now support older GPUs like the 1070Ti?
RIOT Games is used by China to spy on us
discord complies with laws of authoritarian countries(hello fucking russia who deems even fucking LGBT extremism) so this one wasn't a surprise.
I am surprised League of Legends was even playable on Linux, lol.
Discord could have received DMCA or something like that from Nintendo.
That AI thing would also be useful to help you with using the terminal and cli-only programs. Many people are still afraid of it, so an AI helping you through it would be nice (would also eliminate falling for the rm -rf trolls)
Locally / self hosted run AI, I want:
– Speech syntheses
– Speech recognition (for smart home with Home Assistant or IOBroker)
– OCR / Hand writing recognition
– Object and people recognition in photos
– Language translation
– Writing assistance (a bar with suggested next words, like found in software keyboards on mobile and better spelling and grammar correction with suggestions to choose from)
AI is great if you use it right. Use AI for things that are hard to obtain and easy to verify. Never forget to verify and make sure you are able to verify. Letting an AI write a text in Spanish wouldn't cut it, because I don't speak the language and can't verify the result.
Letting AI write a a translation to German could save time and I could verify and fix the result.
12:05 I agree. Hearing that they can't get Vanguard running on Linux sounds like a good thing to me, because the PC sercurity channel showed recantly why Vanguard could be spyware. Riot games being owned by tenscent is enough reason for me anyway.
14:00 Ah. Discords moderration, a wonderfull dream of nightmares again.
Hopefully Fedora AI doesn't turn out like Nouveau where it's there to exist and adhere to the morals of open source nature but doesn't end up excelling in a single area compared to proprietary counterparts.
And Ubuntu 22.04 got a STIG from DISA in April (2024). So much more security for everyone & also for the people DISA works for. In a more open context, CIS benchmarks are doing good things for the large corps utilizing open OS & select apps.
1:41 I don't want Fedora then.
Even Linux starting important AI the don't learn the lesson
I don't understand why Microsoft force those types off software
Every time Microsoft do that it end up to be feiler the do that with web browser almost no one use edge 😅 the do that with Cortana the same happened
People just want to use the OS for whatever task's the needed web browsing, games, software or whatever.
The don't want to run stuff on the baground that doesn't even use.
And if they want to running those the are multiple other software for that that does Way better job for what Microsoft give you. 😅
And you fedora try to do the same sorry but I don't want that.
As for the AI stuff, ya it needs to be worked on for AMD Radeon GPUs but some of the problem is their published documentation which may or may not have improved. Then there's the upcoming RISC-V hardware and also things like Raspberry Pi.
Linux can offer an API for anti-cheat software so that they don't need to run at the kernel level. The question is who will put their money and efforts into implementing this. 🤔
I think AI should be able to learn from any source, just like a Human would by watching and copying, but i understand this is an unpopular opinion in society.
AI is just Algorisms!, nothing to be afraied of!
