Fedora announced back in 2024 that AI will be in future versions of Fedora.

>Finally, of course, we can provide models in the OS. This includes accessibility tooling, which can benefit everyone: imagine an all-local voice assistant that doesn’t send your conversations to some big datacenter or try to sell you things while simultaneously selling your personal data. We could also include tools that make it easier to find help, features to simplify system administration tasks, and interfaces to better organize your documents and media — all within your control, all running on a free and open source software stack.

I find it funny that slapping "AI" onto every product marketing is supposed to get end users excited. Wake me up when they uncensor commercial models completely, make them stop hallucinating, and also make an AI assistant such as from the movie Her; anything else for me is a nothingburger. I just want to coom and RP.

We heard you the first time, Jensen. You do not to keep shilling for AI. All I care about is if it will live up to expectations of the movies. I literally do not care about generative AI and its slop otherwise.

Genuinely good.

Windows is the most bloated clusterfuck monstrosity around. MacOS feels claustrophobic and old. Random Linux distros are what they are, and get shit hardware optimization and bad battery life on laptops.

If they still keep linux developer mode on Aluminum OS similar to what was on ChromeOS and make it so all Android apps work well in a desktop environment, then fuck it i'm down

>>107459346
AOSP/Linux is much superior to GNU/Linux or any proprietary OS. It actually takes privacy and security seriously, especially combined with the right hardware. Just don't use a proprietary (like something with GMS) or insecure fork but go for something that actually builds on AOSP's strengths.

So, 3/4 are nothing to do with “AI in OSes”, unless you consider the ability to run AI models to qualify, in which case literally anything with a CPU is “AI”, cause you can run image recognition models on embedded chips that couldn’t even run Linux.

None of the links show anything like the integration of AI present in Windows and Google products, where it is forced upon you, features are removed and replaced with worse AI versions, plan tiers without AI are hidden or removed, using their platforms requires you consent to all your shit being used to train their models, and so on.

>>
I would like to see Google make a good push into desktop OS. Particularly if they went after games or made a serious excel product. Games and excel is Windows bread and butter.
>>
>>107462497
Why? The only case I can see is RHEL and Canonical, because they have paying enterprise companies that will be pushing to show they’re getting in on the grift and using AI. Debian doesn’t even decide your desktop, let alone what sort of useless chatbot you have installed. There is no incentive for them to do this extra work dealing with annoying, fragile AI shit that is better run in a container anyway cause it requires a million very specific versions of python packages and specific drivers. They might make it easier to run models, but I can’t see any incentive for them to do anything more than that
>>
>>107460677
OK ranjeet you can do that with Bluetooth
>>
>>107462532
>Why?
explaining the behaviour of humans isn't my strongpoint. It doesn't need to make sense for them to do it, this has been frequently evidenced.
>>
>>107462549
This is wrong, humans do not act irrationally, they make decisions that seem valid within their frame of reference. If a decision seems incomprehensible to you, it is either because you have a fundamentally different value system, or lack knowledge of the situation
>>
>>107462580
>humans do not act irrationally,
You do realise an entire country of otherwise 'rational' people just voted trump "to make the dems seethe", despite every available evidence suggesting strongly this move will work out bad for *everyone*?
People do irrational shit *all the time*.

Yeah. I lack reference. And my value system is very different. That's why explaining human behaviour isn't my strongpoint. I understand consequences.
>>
>>107462614
Yeah, they acted in what they thought was their best interests. Someone making a faulty decision based on a lack of information is not a lack of rationality. If someone was unaware that fertiliser is highly explosive, and left it in a shed with a gas heater, and it exploded, their action was not irrational, even if the outcome could be easily predicted by someone with more knowledge. This is further modified by goals, which are informed by morals and knowledge as well. In short, all decisions are rational within the context they are made. The outcomes might be shit.

I think a better point for you to make would be that I obviously cannot know the minds of those maintaining Debian, or their incentives in their totality, and so there may be a factor I’ve missed. However, it would be on you to provide a compelling example of such a factor.
>>
who the fuck would willingly want to have android on a desktop?
valve is literally perfecting its emulation on linux right now
i don't even want it on a phone anymore, i'm considering dumping my current one and getting fairphone 6 so i can get ubuntu touch on it
>>
>>107462614
Furthermore, the number of voters who did so just to piss off the dems is likely insignificant. US politics in particular is rife with very obvious lies being told to people without the time or knowledge to spot them. Someone in charge, who should only be there if they’re competent, because that’s what they’ve been taught is how the world works, wouldn’t tell such a blatant lie, because who would? For them, they assume a politician shares the incentives, knowledge and motives they do, which leads them to make faulty presumptions that these politicians have their best interests in mind. They could spend a ton of time figuring out if that is actually true, but they’ve got to work to avoid being out of a house, so why bother. Everything makes sense if you line it up and consider things from the perspective of the person themselves, even if the decisions made are insane from your own perspective. Animals do not survive by being irrational

>>107462705
>what they thought was their best interests
I've lost track of the number of examples where the primary interest was "piss off the dems", whislt also confessing they don't think it'll "end well".

This isn't acting on a lack of information - tho there was plenty of that in the mix too - but intentionally acting against best interest because of "feels", "lulz" or other non-rational modifiers.

>I think a better point for you to make
No. The point that humans can, and frequently do, exhibit irrational behaviour is precisely the point I'm trying to make. Making any other point would be irrational.

>on you to provide a compelling example of such a factor.
No real examples exist, as of yet. That I'm aware of, and I haven't been looking.
But there is a clear trend. "AI" is being shoved everywhere, and hard. "Agentic functionality" is being heralded as a 'game changer' by many, and in a desperate rush to be the first to get to market many mistakes are being made. It'll not take much "success" in this area to cause everyone to rapidly pivot.
Look how quickly adverts infested the internet. Then pop-up banners. Then docile media...
>>
>>107462752
>Furthermore, the number of voters who did so just to piss off the dems is likely insignificant
I'll accept the pool I'm sampling from is shallow. But it is wide. It's been a common feature.

>For them, they assume a politician shares the incentives, knowledge and motives they do,
Despite a lifetime of evidence that directly contradicts?

>Animals do not survive by being irrational
Natural selection hasn't applied to the human race for a long time. They are not shaped by the environment, they shape the environment to suit. Then add into that mix, intentionally allowing the defective genes to continue proliferating.
