This is a great idea.

That's why you need to investigate and reproduce what the AI found: to verify it's a real issue. Blindly submitting the issue is lazy noise.

Dutch schools also generally ban phones these days. Even my kids agree it's a good idea.

Why are you rejecting the low-effort, Ai generated bug reports, Linus, isn't AI just a productivity tool?

Because they are low effort. Good software engineering is never low effort, whether you use AI or not.

If you let AI replace people, and let them mess with software or report issues without understanding what's going on, without putting in the effort to understand what's going on, you're not adding any value; just noise.

But if you use AI to find issues, then investigate the issue, reproduce it, document it, etc, then you've got something meaningful that someone can do something with.

How about neither?

Well, joking a bit, but also serious. Nuclear has often been presented as working reliably regardless of circumstances, but that's clearly not entirely true, because they require water. That is an inherent issue with nuclear, and one that isn't always accounted for. This isn't the first time I've heard about a nuclear reactor having to shut down because cooling water wasn't available for some reason.

In the past, people have often taken the availability of water for granted, but that's clearly not something we can afford anymore. See also the issues with water being needed to cool data centers. Combine that with rising temperatures and drought.

But I was told nuclear would always work, regardless of weather!

Well, at least it sounds like solar would be a great complement. Again.

I'm not against AI in general. I'm just against using it stupidly. And against using it as a vehicle for further monopolisation and centralisation of power. I'm against the "use more AI" slogan too many companies push.

But use it for specific purposes under human control that improve quality, then I'm all for it.

From what I understand, that stuff now has to be clearly labelled as AI in the EU. Hopefully that will help a bit to reduce the mess.

We were ordered by the US to cede our top spot.

To be honest, I'm not convinced CEOs are the right people to make decisions either. Let the people who do the actual work make the decisions.

How can a monitor install stuff on a PC? Can you do that over hdmi/dp? Does it require usb?

Either way, this stuff should be illegal or at least require a much more explicit warning than hiding it in terms of service that nobody reads. And of course everybody would do well to avoid LG out of principle from now on.

Ultimately, yes. If AI is going to take over all jobs, the profits from AI should benefit and therefore fund everybody. But that requires a different economic system that will take time to convince people it's necessary.

But leveraging copyright law, that's something that can be done right now.
