While the "volunteers" making it happen for real get nothing...

Wow

My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—build AI models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and use them to achieve permanent military superiority or perpetrate incredibly deep repression of their own people.

What is that shit?

Truly this is an insane take coming from an American company. Really batshit crazy.

Imagine the dread for Europeans to see these powerful countries obsessed at weaponizing their AI. Open source model are not even part of that problem. Open source is usually the opposite end of the secrecy of weapon design and manufacturing.

But no evil CCP bad can't do their open weights AI but OpenAI can equip the military without any oversight.

I hope the American imperium will crumble and fall. They created so much fucking suffering for the rest of the world.

Yes. I wish they would just guarantee hosting of wiki projects for 30+ years... But no they always ask money for their other projects...

I had enough of this "Big AI agenda".

Yes the oligarchs at the top are the most evil and corrupted people ever. Sure. Ok. Understood.

But what does it have to do with Linus and the kernel project ? He is not like vouching for them or even for their specific models. And it's not like there isn't open source AI models too. There is, and pretty good one at that.

But no, AI is the obligatory Claude code or chatgpt obviously...

Damn if only Lemmynautes could understand that we can't be dumb enough to consider AI as one big proprietary monolotic block. It is not and Linus is well aware of that.

And by the way, Linus I'm sure understand very well the agenda of the big evil corps. It's just not his problem. He is leading the kernel open source project. He is not involved in a crusade against AI and I'm so glad he will focus on that instead of "picking a side". If there is anybody I trust to use the tech effectively and pragmatically it's the kernel open source project.

It's not complicated truly, all AI models are not the same. They dont come from the same business, the same country, they don't have the same licence.

If we used half the energy we use to vociferate about big corps AI to actually create open source (and copyright respecting) models that would really improve the situation in the future.

It's more than time for the open source community to wake up and actually create their own models, built ethically and in accord with the OSS ethos.

Obviously, I'm well aware of the destruction of our planet by AI datacenters but again that is a problem for politicians, not freaking Linus Torvald.

If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.

At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.

That's what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.

It's mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.

You can all praise all you want Valve, but when Gabe is out you will see the enshitification real fucking quick.

Monopolies are never a good thing for the consumers on the long run.

If I recall correctly, they said it was to preview "review bombing" of small channel. They said that a few weeks after YouTube's own channel published one of the most disliked video ever (YouTube rewind).

I'm not home for a few days so I can't check yet.

But I think I have something like 3/4 packages at the most.

But I need to compare that to a 400+ list I'm not sure I agree with you it's that easy to do rigorously.

Ok, but I was expecting something a bit more automated then opening a list of package in kate and comparing it to my list of installed AUR package... Plus it's 400 package so that's a lot of things to check and plenty of space to miss one package by manually checking.

But I get it I'm lazy and just need to script something myself. This is affecting so many people I thought we would have a script to check quickly if you are "infected".

Edit : thanks for the numerous script sent as reply ! But I'm all set now, thanks !

I hope all the Arch based distros will do a proper post to inform their users on how to cleanup afterwards.

I'm hoping at least cachyos, the distro I use, will tell me exactly how to check and clean my system.

I remember that when I installed a few of my AUR package, I was well aware that this repo was pretty much unregulated and that I just have to trust it's safe. So I made sure to only use AUR as a last resort. But there was warnings on cachyos that were displayed to tell me to be cautious about it so that's at least a positive.

I think this cop can only be condemned if it can be proven that he was knowingly doing something illegal ?

So essentially, he will just say he trusted the recognition software to be accurate and that he isn't liable for that.

As long as that kind of immunity is there it's incredibly difficult to sanction cops for stuff like that.
