There's an anime that kind of flips this around. Instead of an everyman who can use magic, the protagonist is someone born in the royal family but can't use magic. Don't know if this counts.

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically...

"If something is silenced, then that must mean it is right" is a pretty bad argument. There are genuinely good reasons to ban something. Being unnecessarily aggressive can be one.

There is a line somewhere I think. Like people weren't 100% sure the atomic bomb won't ignite the atmosphere (it's only very unlikely), but they still tested it. Similarly the probability of creating micro blackholes at LHC is not zero either, yet they still ran it.

If we have to make sure everything is 100% safe before we can do anything, we will be stuck with the status quo.

If it gets “stolen” by a for-profit corporation it only makes it better, because now my software has reached more people, thus (theoretically) improving their lives.

well that's a very idealistic, and capitalistic way of looking at this (i.e. for-profit corporation is making a profit only because it's making people's lives better). which just isn't the case in real life.

realistically, when you release something in a permissive license, you are more likely to improve someone's bottom line, than to improve people's lives in general.

IIRC these are words from the man himself. In a documentary about him, he said he was not a hero, just an ordinary guy, and you should not need to be a hero to stand up and do the right thing.

I am not playing so I don't have to follow the rules!

They probably aren't looking for the factual information, perhaps more the logical thinking abilities.

While I agree with you that video editing under Linux is seriously lacking, I think that your conclusion

lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types

is not justified. There are not that many people who need to use a video editor.

Again, none of the things you listed are that commonly used. Most of the PC users don't do 3D modeling or VR.

Pretty sure LM studio is not open source

Yes, governmental surveillance is always bad. But let's not pretend being surveilled by NSA is as bad as being surveilled by the authoritarian government of China.

You have a misunderstanding of how China's government operates. It does not matter how much stake the government holds, companies just cannot say no to the government's request. Otherwise you will be disappeared. See Alibaba for example.

Remember, China does not have a democracy.

Call to action from, say, activist groups is very different from call to action from a billion-dollar company. This does make me really worried about how much influencer TikTok has on people ngl
