Making pizzas in slave-like conditions

“Mmmh, this sure beats pressing fast forward for 8 hours in single player”

It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.

So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

Given your vast experience and that your distro quest is over – what did you settle on?

Sincerely, Win10+Kubuntu user

That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.

Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.

I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.

I was another person who suffered from motion sickness trying to play the original Super Mario 64.

I wish I could tell you what it was - I have played everything under the sun, including VR (in which I was also motion sick), and the closest thing I could come up with is the low FOV combined with the automatic movement of the camera.

I think it’s similar for people who get car sick as a passenger, but not a driver.

Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!

Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know

Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor

I’m actually a little scared of running Linux on modern, fast hardware.

How is multi-GPU driver support?

My main machine is a 900 TFlops compute monster (4 GPUs) running ROCM on Windows, and the last time I’d tried Manjaro on Desktop, it seized up for unknown reasons.

I’ve got asynchronous monitors - 1440p@165Hz main display and 4K@85Hz flipped vertical for a side monitor. Occasionally, I plug in a projector which is 1080p, mirrored to the 4K, but flipped horizontal.

I’m not sure what I’d done wrong because it works perfectly on my 11 year old Z575 (Debian+KDE there).

What distro would you recommend for an extremely fast/high RAM machine? I’ve got 128GB of main system memory, and 4TB of M.2 for a system disk running at 7.6 gigabytes/second actual/real-world RW I/O.

I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.

I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).

I won’t name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can’t do shit for you physically.

It’s like that graph: “Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we’re going to find out at around a level 7 or 8”

Yeah honestly, I bought Tarkov second-hand for $8 and even then I felt like I was getting ripped off.

It’s probably not news to anyone but the game has extremely lax anti-cheat controls.

As for why people would cheat in an online game, it always seems obvious from a psychological standpoint, but the cheats for Tarkov are so egregious they’re like full blown developer offline DEBUG TOOLS.

I don’t mean “oh no, aim assistance, and they can see you through walls” – the cheat tools are hooking into features of the GAME ENGINE ITSELF, allowing players to see:

PlayerName, Current HP, Current Level, Full inventory contents, currently equipped weapon, position, heading, estimated value of inventory, estimated value of your account, age of account creation, and so on.

They can also: Teleport, FLY, increase or decrease their run speed, jump height, and so on.

The cheaters are basically running around with admin privileges in the game, and the developers don’t give a flying fuck. It’s like GTA5 levels of cheating.

Why would anyone play such a game, much less pay $150 to be abused by people? You can slam your dick in a car door for a lot less.

What, is the game really that good?

Card games have never appealed to me personally

The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.

Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it’s easy to use with your feet. That’s why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they’re on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

It was some combination of both, the system would post, past the bootloader, attempt to initialize drivers and other standard starting packages and then immediately panic and drop into an emergency terminal (/TTS), with a failure to mount the root partition, from what I can recall. It tried it a couple times and then there was an error message that said: “Bailing out, you are on you own, good luck”

Full kernel corruption after a botched sudo full-upgrade.

I got the wonderful “bailing out you are on your own” shit as well.

Read a guide online about a hail mary ext file system journal recovery protocol, I ran it, like most things without reading too deeply.

Kernel was successfully repaired, Kubuntu kept on truckin’

I began using Lemmy abruptly after quitting Reddit after the API fiasco of last year. With the third party apps on Lemmy like Voyager (lol), picking up the slack.

People don’t give a shit what service or server it’s hosted on, as long as it’s free and they can continue to interact with other users, because that’s ultimately, what matters, the community.

If you were having a party with some friends watching the Superbowl and some random corporate ass clowns came in and said: “Pack it up, we’re charging you for the privilege of talking to each other and also we’re selling your conversations on the Internet”, you’d give them a swift kick in the ass.

The content is yours, you made it, you spent the effort, the mental energy, the loss of actual lifetime to create it, post it, and share it with the world.

And then they want an IPO and pat themselves on the back for stealing. Get the fuck outta here, y’know?

Lemmy rules.

Knoppix, followed by Mandrake, Ubuntu, etc.

Linux Mint was the only one that I installed and used unironically followed by Kubuntu.

I’m a simpleton, I just want my OS to work.
