  • The sense of security is what makes the tongues talk and the users browse, them incriminating themselves openly. Overly violent law that puts everyone in the grey zone allows you to pick anyone you want at any time and jail them. Government/party structure of any size is pretty much unable to track everyone 24/7, so while it’s seemingly a compromise from the idealistic vision of the great firewall, it is better to control a thing that organically rise with or without your involvement. If it could’ve been inpenetrateable, we could’ve heard of alternative systems appearing, but there you see none of these, at least for average consumers. It is there, and while it’s not overingineered, it’s enough to make 50% of safe, normie people give up and other 50% marks itself, and, unless everything is e2e encrypted, writes it’s court cases for itself.





  • IoT is Internet of Things, devices where you usually don’t know there is even Windows to begin with, due to some McDonalds Menu Picker overlay or whatever. There is no market for Microsoft acc or OneDrive as they are by themselves are rarely meddled with and are installed en masse. They would get security updates for 10 another years. But besides some differences, only corpos and no end user have a reasonable access to said release, so if you may be checked for legitimity of your software e.g. you try to use it in your business and get caught, it’s obvious you haven’t bought keys for it. So it’s for personal use only.





  • If and when W10 become unusable, I’ll switch to 100% Linux without any doubt, it’s my last Windows.

    Depending on your usage, it may mean years, especially as it’s IoT that iirc has longer update cycle.

    Microsoft didn’t lock anything meaningful behind w11 upgrade, like they did with DirectX versions, RAM limits etc. So as long as your software doesn’t drop Win10 support (like Steam dropped Win7 just a couple of years ago), you’d be fine.

    It would be pretty interesting to see where Linux would be by that time tho.



  • LLM is what usually sold as AI nowadays. Convential ML is boring and too normal, not as exciting as a thing that processes your words and gives some responses, almost as if it’s sentient. Nvidia couldn’t come to it’s current capitalization if we defaulted to useful models that can speed up technical process after some fine tuning by data scientists, like shaving off another 0.1% on Kaggle or IRL in a classification task. It usually causes big but still incremental changes. What is sold as AI and in what quality it fits into your original comment as a lifesaver is nothing short of reinvention of one’s workplace or completely replacing the worker. That’s hardly hapening anytime soon.


  • If we actually want to maintain our standard of living and reduce the population size, we may very well need AI automation utilities. They can keep scaling down in size and power consumption in the way that a real human can’t.

    Theoreticisizing LLM’s usefulness and resourcefulness doesn’t help you there. For now they are rather useless embaracingly inefficient resoucehogs existing purely because of the bubble. It’s a gamble at best, or a waste of resources and a degradation of human workforce at worst.
