Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I think AI will cause a massive wave of employment changes. I think people and companies are currently overreacting as to where/how it can and should be used to be effective, but capitalism will make sure in a few more years it is placed where it makes corporations the most money, regardless (and maybe in spite?) of the cost of jobs.

    Spoiler, they're going to use it to sell people stuff.

    Yeah the biggest practical use of the current generation of LLMs is online astroturphing and viral marketing. AIs aren't reliable enough (yet) for things that require correctness, but they're damn good at saying a thing you want said over and over in countless different ways.

    Customer service (aka customer support chat bots) will also try to make use of it, no doubt, but I'm skeptical about how much they'll actually trust it for that. All it'll take is one person figuring out how to make the Chipotle chat bot spout nazi propoganda or some shit before they go back to "dumb" chat bots lol
