I don't think AI will take over, as it is not really capable of
out-of-band thinking.  AI cannot solve a problem which hasn't been
defined.  For example, you can get AI to perhaps streamline a process or
design, make it more efficient, but it won't come to the realisation
that the thing you are trying to do, may not be necessary after all.  So
AI would have to do something it is not capable of at the moment, coming
to new realisations and acting on that information.

The threat from AI I think is more how we act.  I see a danger where we
trust AI, and treat it like it is a superintelligence, and we use it as
a crutch to make desicions, which turn out to be poor, suboptimal
decisions.

What we have seen is better models because they have more data.  But
there is a leap to be made to get them to think out of band.  This is a
very different type of program, and now where I think the A.I. path is
leading to at the moment.

And most of programmers involved with creating AI can't think clearly either
(or at least they're pushing the agenda of their masters). Garbage in,
garbage out. (Remember when Google had to pull part of their AI imaging
because it was so DEI that it was completely incapable of producing white
Nazis or Vikings.) That's how AI "works" when it's programmed by the Woke.

The sad part is that Debian seems to be going in that direction too.
Lunduke just revealed it today. Regardless of their code of conduct,
paid internship offers for Debian are asking Whites and Asians not to
apply. Strangely, Ubuntu, of all distributions, seems to be one of the
least woke.

 
I don't know where Linux Mint stands here. But it shouldn't be too surprising
that Ubuntu is less Woke. For one, they're a company that's trying to earn a
profit and, two, they're not a U.S. based company. South Africa doesn't seem
too keen on the Woke crap. At least they're independent of the U.S. and
Europe in several areas. And they are part of BRICS.

Those last three were selling points when I was looking for the right
distribution. I've come to terms with the fact that my experience in
Linux is not likely to be stellar at all times, but I want to be as
self-sufficient as possible and Windows doesn't factor into that
equation. Right now, Kubuntu 24.04 is doing the job. I'll probably have
a few freezes here and there, but so far I can enable S3 on my machine
and _not_ have it use a ridiculous amount of battery power upon wake
unlike Windows, I am completely rid of Edge, I don't need to run an
application at all times just to limit my battery charge, the game I
play the most runs beautifully, I can easily split screen for use in the
class, etc.. If I don't want to be spied on, want to keep my machine for
near a decade and don't want to crash on simple things like opening an
image file, Linux will be fine.
