It's really weird for Linus to reference "the open source thing" while encouraging people to use legally dubious closed-source software with legally dubious output

To be sure, Google's market penetration across the web is a huge driver of encouraging people to switch browsers. It costs nothing to advertise on their own website! I just find it interesting that so many people on Windows actually do. If I was forced to choose between Edge and Chrome, I'd probably skip the hassle of installing an extra browser.

Dario Amodei is the one renting out the servers while pretending to he's the Wholesome Ethical AI Guy. His behavior is nearly on par with Musk here.

I'm much more interested in him (behavior that's extremely intentional, with the added slime of being deceptive and yet enjoying a ton of undeserved, fawning PR) than the average clueless Meemaw. Similar to many other trash systems, you have to look at the people maintaining the system, not the people using it.

Lol you can say "OpenAI" without infringing on Sam Altman's properties

OpenAI had argued that the word "open" has multiple possible meanings

Including "not open," based on their behavior.

As far as I can tell, the data centers and that theft are mandatory for making the models to begin with. Everybody talks about ethical ones, but they don't use them because they suck too much.

Computer hardware, training algorithms, and data models are absolutely technology, regardless of whether they are stolen or not. If you believe some technology (read: AI data centers) exhibits inherent evil, that's great because I agree.

If data centers aren't technology, what are they? Nature?

It's undeniable that Microsoft makes this difficult, but Google Chrome has found its way onto nearly 75% of all desktops while Edge only enjoys around a 10% share.

Very hard to take this comment seriously when it doesn't take into account the fact that Internet Explorer was included for free and by default on Windows

That's an odd position to take, considering (according to your own words anyway) data centers are just a technology, and it's the use that matters. And we all know where those local models really come from.

To a proportionate degree yes, but AI is being shoved down the throats of workers and subsidized by the companies providing it too. I have some sympathy for the clueless grandma, or the person who's genuinely lost their mind thanks to this.
