Vedo ancora "girare" l'idea che Haiku sia una distro GNU\Linux. Non lo è in realtà...

Is Haiku based on Linux?

Haiku is not a Linux distribution, nor does it use the Linux kernel. Haiku is a spiritual successor to BeOS and it is derived from the NewOS kernel, which was authored by Travis Geiselbrecht (geist), who was formerly employed by Be Inc. — the developers of BeOS.

Here's the funny thing: if you don't like the direction that #Linux and open source world in general has chosen (i.e. "embrace AI") and you'd like to use AI-free products, then one of the best alternative you have right now is #Slackware 15.0.
It was released before AI bubble. Kernel 5.15 does not (AFAIK) contain any LLM-generated code. Distribution itself contains absolutely insane amount of everything you might ever need. And all that "everything you might need" also was written long before AI bubble.
Of course, kernel 5.15 does not necessarily support your latest and greatest hardware in the best way possible, but those are trade-offs. Also you can upgrade to something like 6.12 (still no AI patches AFAIK).
And yes, the distribution still receives updates and patches (although no one can guarantee if those patches are AI-free or not, of course).

The purpose of Linux 34 years ago was a drunk Finn didn't know how to write a proper kernel, so he fucked around on a 386.

The purpose of Linux 25 years ago was to increase IBM consulting fees.

The purpose of Linux now is to increase LLM token consumption.

I don't know why anyone's surprised, do they not follow the money?
#linux

@aardvark - No. This is the issue:

Big AI (read: that has central compute in big data centers that destroy local environments and economies) are being forced on everyone through a concerted effort involving forced adaptation, govt subsidies, and corporate subsidies. The underlying goals are wealth transfer, compute control, and information control.

Those in power and leadership that ignore this are at best complicit in furthering the harm and are at worst actively pushing, facilitating, and enacting harm.

Those that use LLMs often see a localized and immediate benefit (eg in their work or daily convenience), but at a greater long term and deep expense.

But while I don't think users should use LLMs, many don't have a choice and many folks would choose short term immediate gains over long term harm because they lack leverage and just have to survive.

So, in the original post, I am specifically targeting the leader. Who at best is complicit. And at worst is at fault.

#AI #Linux #Linus

Has anyone else noticed reading their feed today that there's a guy called Linus who is really into #Linux? Almost the same name! What are the odds of that?

Linus Torvalds is no hero.

That was hard to learn.

#Linux

The argument that "AI works therefore we should use it" is akin to "Torture works therefore we should use it."

I don't mean that as hyperbole.

The underlying purpose of AI is at least twofold:

1) It puts a layer of abstraction over information.
- Primary Source: Raw data (eg video footage of an event)
- Secondary Source: Analysis (eg Low bias news and analysis of what this event means in the context of other events)
- Tertiary Source: Meta Analysis (eg Encyclopedia entries summing up Analysis)
- Quaternary Source: News Opinion and Propaganda (eg a "News Entertainment" channel that tells you what to think regarding the event)
- Pentanary (?) Source: TLDR summations divorced from underlying sources (eg AI summations, guides, etc that describe events or provide recommendations and guidance but follow behind the scenes algorithms that control the output)

The purpose of this layer of abstraction is control of information and removing the distribution of information from the actual events. This allows for influence campaigns, tuned marketing, tuned propaganda, and therefore control.

2) Centralization of compute power
- Computers in our hands that we control allow us a lot of power.
- Moore's Law no longer applies to localized compute power so we are in an era of repair and maintenance.

That means two things for corporations. Loss of income and loss of control.
- Forcing us to use centralized compute forces us to continue to spend money
- Localized AI engines still allow for centralized algorithms. (open sourced algos and localized engines dont factor in here as use and usecases are low)

AI is being pushed so heavily because both governments and corporations need it to further their wealth and power.

They push it via both making it cheap and accessible and having a veneer of usability.

This is a similar pattern to "Underpricing competition to drive them out and then jacking up rates when you have a monopoly", "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" and similar approaches.

So.

I am not arguing whether AI is useful. I am arguing that its use is detrimental to us. In fact, the more it becomes useful the worse it becomes BECAUSE more people adopt it. It hurts us as we use it. It hurts us more as we use it more.

Tying it back, I don't care if torture is useful and gets your desired results. Torture is bad and it hurts us.

#Linus #AI #Linux #solarPunk

@tinker

The social angle of that project has been, and will remain, the major motivating part for many supporters and contributors.

Without them, #Linux would have stayed precisely what Torvalds announced it as, »just a hobby, won't be big and professional, like gnu«.

There is no point, however, in repeating the well known, endless list of bullet points describing the objectively harmful impacts of " #AI" on our world, and on humanity – to a person firmly determined to consider this planet burner a "tool".

It's much more useful to accept that Torvalds is no longer in his prime, and his ethical negligence will worsen over time, resulting in more and more tech-bro-style statements.

Don't turn humans into living gods.

Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.

In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.

But then he goes on and concludes with this:

"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.

This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.

In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

Linus"

A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.

Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.

Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.

But Linus is wrong.

Tech is politics.

And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.

Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.

Gods, I've had my head down these last few months with family and life stuff, so I've not been kept fully abreast.

But Canonical doing the most Canonical thing and fully embracing AI just plain hurts.

I'm such a (classic) Luddite. It feels like the world is collapsing around me.

And its not just "new tech bad".

I love the advances we're having in balcony solar, and cutting edge hydroponics, and non-LLM automation, and machine learning as it relates to medicine and accessibility, and meshnet communication standards and tech.

I hate surveillance tech like Palantir and Flock, just like I hated blockchain and NFTs, and Generative AI LLMs, etc.

I'm just going to core out a space in my life and find folks who do the same and try to strengthen them.

Looks like I'm going to move to OpenBSD soon though, so that's nice.
