There’s all the people that allow them shell access as well. That’s all the OpenAI “hack” of Hugging face was. A bash shell with a model attached. Now think of all the people running that inside of security perimeters.

I wouldn’t count “behind a VPN” as “open to the internet”.

It’s still listening and recording. The recent Gamers Nexus video shows that the just store everything locally until they find a way to send it. They’re always scanning the radio for other access points too.

You need to flush the system of all his acolytes too.

Code is probably one of the easiest things to verify

LOL!!!

Local opposition to data centre builds seems to be most effective at the moment. People oppose it from across the political spectrum, and it’s becoming a hot topic. Add your voice to the crowd.

AI use for Open Source projects is arguably the one use case that benefits everyone,

It doesn’t benefit everyone if it pushes the quality down because the impetus to go fast wins over the dedication to reviewing the code properly. Nor does it benefit everyone if the world becomes uninhabitable because of the energy used by data centers. Nor does it benefit everyone if economies collapse due to the hype being wrong and the speculative bubble bursts. Nor does it benefit everyone if the hype is right and it renders most jobs redundant.

These are the very rational things “haters” are concerned about. AI is for the rich to get richer. It does nothing for the rest of us.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

…only because it has other Americans on it.

So we’re taking that code out of systemd, right?

So why aren’t we prosecuting OpenAI / Anthropic / SpaceX / Meta for possession?

It’s a rhetorical question.

They’re burning books so that “truth” can be only obtained from a machine they control.

Nothing fascist about that.

It has some reasonable use-cases when dealing with text

It’s not about criminality. It’s comparative morality.

Nuclear plants have a limited life time. You have to replace what ages out, and they haven’t been. Probably because they decided that the cost didn’t make sense anymore in the face of renewables.

No, they’re in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

LTS! The stablest of the stable releases.

It’s news because despite there already being a number of issues caused by Ubuntu transitioning to poorly done Rust ports common utils, they continue the practise.

So your statement that it’s easier to write safe code in rust is only (arguably) true for one aspect of safety.

Memory safe!

Not any other kind of safety.

The problem isn’t the language. It’s the cargo cult that surrounds it.
