Many ingredients are already here: there is a vast array of open source #python libraries that cover every imaginable #algorithm, from classic statistics to #machinelearning. And python is already a first class citizen in linux.
At the other end are end-user apps like the file manager, #libreoffice, sophisticated editors like #kate etc. that are already mature.
What is missing the orchestration of services, API's, UI's etc. that will effortlessly bring these superpowers to the average user.
Anti-AI sentiment is strong among the #opensource #fediverse rebels but in its knee-jerk simplicity it is fundamentally misguided and reactive to #bigtech marketing stunts. Its literally like declaring linear algebra as "programma non-grata". Absurd and self-defeating.
For a long time I have been arguing that the #linux desktop should fundamentally add as an objective to empower users at OS and application level with performant, integrated #datascience functionality. An entire universe awaits
Explosive #virality is one of the emergent features of a hyperconnected #digitalsociety. It can be enhanced by the incentives and designs of platforms, but is intrinsic to the low friction and dense topology of digital #socialnetworks.
Like so many tech changes, cannot be simply labelled as "bad" or "good". It simply means more people act in a coordinated, synchronized fashion.
*What* their action is is the real issue. Good or bad gets multiplied dramatically.
There is strange helix-like pattern in the tools we use for #knowledgemanagement over the long arc of history.
It all started with clay tablets, essentially silicon-based artefacts, etching inert symbols on the surface.
We then switched to organic stuff, papyri, leather and paper, a period that lasted millennia.
Now firmly in the #digitaltransformation era, again etching symbols on silicon, but those are now active, symbols within symbols.
Maybe the next turn will see carbon rise again?

I think solar will be the dominant energy source soon and that this will have dramatic effects globally. I spent some time this morning going down a rabbit hole about this. Here's a thread about some things I found:
The driver for this transition is the cost of solar relentlessly dropping over the past 50 years:

According to Our World in Data the cost has dropped from 130.70 $/W in 1975 to 0.31 $/W in 2023.
