From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I dont think the community is generally against AI, there's plenty of FOSS projects. They just don't like cashgrabs, enshittification and sending personal data to someone else's computer.
I think this is spot on. I think it's exciting with LLMs but I'm not gonna give the huge corporations my data, nor anyone else for that matter.
I don't see anyone calling for cash grabs or privacy destroying features to be added to gnome or other projects so I don't see why that would be an issue. 🙂
On device Foss models to help you with various tasks.
You are, if you're calling for Apple like features.
You might argue that "private cloud" is privacy preserving, but you can only implement that with the cash of Apple. I would also argue that anything leaving my machine, to a bunch of servers I don't control, without my knowledge is NOT preserving my privacy.
I’m waiting for the moment the storey breaks they ChatGPT didn’t do what Apple asked.
I don't know since when "on device" means send it to a server. Come up with more straw men I didn't mention for you to defeat.
Apple's "private cloud" is a thing. Not all "Apple Intelligence" features are "on device", some can and do utilize cloud-based processing power, and this will also be available to app developers.
Apparently this has additional safeguards vs "normal cloud" which is why they are branding it "private cloud".
But it's still "someone else's computer" and apple is not keeping their AI implementation 100% on device.
@MentalEdge @FatCat same as the time they sent all the notification to the government or uploaded all the pictures for server side scanning. It's "private" as in they keep it for themselves 🤣
Since Apple's keynote this week.
Thankfully I really really don't need an "AI" to use my desktop. I don't want that kind of BS bloat either. But go ahead and install whatever you want on your machine.
It is quite a bloat. Llama3 7B is 4.7GB by itself, not counting all the dependencies and drivers. This can easily take 10+ GB of the drive. My Ollama setup takes about 30GB already. Given a single application (except games like COD that takes up 300GB), this is huge, almost the size of a clean OS install.
FQQD probably refers to companies such as MS, Apple, Google, Adobe, etc. since they usually incorporate AI into everything.
