tbh I dont support ban. I think they should ban ai publicly only to avoid copyright and lawsuits issues from AI but then use it to produce linux based android alternative quickly.
The article is good, but the headline seems clickbaity:
-
Debian is discussing requirements about hosting software with LLM generated code in their repos, and disclosure of that.
-
"Ubuntu embraces AI" is talking about putting ML inference engines in their repos... which, ironically, are largely human written.
These are two completely seperate issues. And TBH its not clear how Debian is approaching inference engines or how Ubuntu is approaching disclosure.
As always, the actual story is in the comments. Thank you for the summary.
I remember when they wanted to unify mobile phones and desktop computers, with a singular online storage account and DE that changed when you plugged your phone into a monitor. That shit was crazy.
I still want that
The best vision for that was unironically Microsoft’s, but by that time they had started the enshittification with Windows 10
Ubuntu: The Windows of Linux.
I thought Ubuntu was the macOS of Linux and the Windows of Linux is Omarchy
I think technically that might have been Lindows.
5-10 years from now they will pull their Windows 11-equivalent crash and burn move
With RAM prices what they are the push for snaps may already be this... On memory constrained systems snaps already have a huge performance penalty.
seems like every consumer-friendly version of anything is shoehorning ai into it. stupid
