VR linux distro without systemd...

It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

any good non-systemd linux distros for vr?

thinking abt the timeline where the linux baddies got tshirts made that say ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA and MUST BE 18 TO READ THIS SHIRT like where is the fuck you make me attitude here

the frustrating thing is that literally anyone who has thought about language and technology for fifteen consecutive seconds could have told you that autocomplete and other writing tools influence beliefs (and *have* been telling you this, over and over, for decades). the other frustrating thing is that slop-pushers *brag about their ability to do this* and right-wing actors are actively exploiting it, but in polite company everyone pretends that's not the case https://mathstodon.xyz/@gregeganSF/116219772468880168

“AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. Now a new study finds biased AI suggestions can sway users’ beliefs” “We told people before, and after, to be careful, that the AI is going to be (or was) biased, and nothing helped,” Naaman said. “Their attitudes about the issues still shifted.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-autocomplete-doesnt-just-change-how-you-write-it-changes-how-you-think/

RT if you want a CLEAR statement about AI from all GNU/Linux distributions and are ready to quit any distribution that is ok with integrating AI slopware.
It's like finding out the open source community's got black mold
No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture." I've seen this now from quite a few different people, and I disagree vehemently. It is good, actually, to have moral principles and hold to them, even when people with more money than you find said principles annoying.

Huh. The act of typing this made me realize just how tired I am of all of it.

It's so similar to crypto/web3 when for a year or two everyone kept telling me that I was just dumb or lacked vision or just didn't understand shit and when it all crashed as I had predicted, hurting the people I predicted in the way I predicted everyone just moved on to "AI". The same motherfuckers doing the same shit.

Burns you out.
