thank you for keep posting Linux stuff. Linux is the new freedom movement.
Ai is just the next massively over-hyped buzzword, replacing the current "Smart" buzzword. You know, where everything all of a sudden had to be prefixed with "Smart" to make it sound so magical.
If AI can convert human stupidity to electrical power.... it can power itself with abundant "renewable sources"
I run open source LLMs locally to look for typos and for brainstorming. I think swearing off LLMs completely even in ways that can improve the quality of our product is a bit extreme. But I mostly agree, AI's largely a buzz word to force spyware.
I just found your channel yesterday. I absolutely love you insights. I am also a Christian linux nerd, it's great to hear someone so similar talk about these topics. Keep up the great work!
Been in IT since before it had a name in the early 90’s and I’m 100% anti-Ai !!!
In IT since 1982. Also, the Bible warned against this two thousand years ago, but people are corporately blind, dumb, ignorant. Opinions overrule actual proven facts. It is because people aren't taught facts even at school level.
In the time most people come up with an ai prompt you can accomplish 3x as much in Linux using simple, free, reliable, open source command line tools.
exactly and the same can be said for cyber security. we write scripts & run commands in both industries. It's absolutely wonderful. 🤓
Agreed. Unfortunately you see it all the time in comments on RUclips where "fashionistas" think they're Linux experts all of a sudden just because they bought a Steam Deck. I shake my head at the number of these people who whine about wanting to use Linux without the command line.
I don't understand that mentality. To me, you're not "using" Linux unless you understand how to get around in the shell.
@@StarkSpartan Yes, me too. I work in cyber-security also.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 very often, I choose to do updates via the command line because the gooey (gui) is too buggy or too slow. The command line in Linux is absolutely wonderful and the things that you can do with it, you can't do in windows.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Thank you for your service. such a great industry.
“Way back when,” the new concept was *the computer.* People talked about how computers could do this, that, and the other thing. It was hyped beyond measure, and boosted and panned in many of the same ways we now see concerning AI. Very few took the time to look at it reasonable, to educate themselves, and to ask questions such as “What can a computer do for me? Are all computers the same? Does putting something on a computer automagically improve our product or process? If not, what should we do?” From a purely technical standpoint, I believe the situation is similar regarding AI. People use a term without checking to see if everyone is using the term to mean the same thing - and they’re usually not!
That said, I believe that the current AI discussion tends to ignore one of the most basic principles from the early days of computers: Garbage In, Garbage Out. That is even more true with AI. When we have AI instances that will flat out lie, make up erroneous or misleading data, or refuse to deal honestly with certain ideas, then GIGO has been at work. It is dangerous for people to rely too heavily on the all-knowing-all-seeing computer/AI. Proofreading is only the start of the vigilance that we need!
Good questions. Here is a more disturbing question: How has technology dumbed us down. If all sources of electricity were destroyed. All technology became unusable. How many of us would survive? How much knowledge that our relatives knew in the 1800s has been lost because technology made that knowledge obsolete. By labeling that knowledge obsolete, we affirm our willing to become ever more technology dependent leading to a further dumbing down of the human race. Today, most high school graduates cannot do simple math in their heads nor can they do it on paper either. Check out a RUclips series call "That'll teach them". Long hand writing is no longer taught. I can write a letter long hand and most of our youth would find it illegible. It has been labeled "obsolete", valuable knowledge thrown away in favor of dependence on technology. What happens when technology turns against us?
Great topic. I’ve really been thinking a lot about this lately.
BT is British Telecom. Also known as Openreach here in the UK :)
As a PC tech I have very little threat to my job by AI but with how prolific it's becoming and how hard it's being jammed down our throats im fairly hardcore against AI and I've almost completely swapped over to Linux on all my computers except my work desktop (work won't let me since a lot of our programs don't work in Linux well enough) not to mention I've seen enough Terminator movies to know what's gonna happen if things don't change.
It isn't only the Terminator movies. Classical Science Fiction has shown the same sad outcome to having self-aware machines mixed in with human society.
RE Elon Musk: I remember hearing that when he was at PayPal, they were using Solaris or something and for some reason he wanted to switch everything over to Windows Server...
I think this session was really profound , need time to process it for myself and reconsider using some things like the thing you mentioned and actually stop using them .

YT had deleted my subscription, to everyone please check to see if you have been deleted. Thank you Tom for bringing this to light, people need to know and fight for their rights.
I do agree with most everything you said. I've occasionally used AI to save time, which it does to some extent. But as you said, it does often make mistakes. Perhaps those mistakes are the saving grace. I remember an old Superman, the early 1950's one, episode where a computer was used to plot a bank robbery. It determined the get away route. Problem was it had the robbers going down a one way street the wrong way so they got caught. AI's mistakes could work the same way.
It can be useful if used correctly like any tool. Unfortunately it can be misused. It should never be forced. This is the same issue I have with the new cars. Just let me drive. I'll decide what and when to do something.
AI Google is an example of GIGO. Many companies have stolen data in order to build their databases needed to use AI. AI is used to collect data by Microsoft, Apple, and various other companies. Will not use chrome.
@SwitchedtoLinux : Tom: If you were to use AI purely for investigative experimentation in order to report to the public on your findings, I don't think anybody would consider that to be hypocritical.
I think that is a bad idea. Human nature would cause Tom or anyone to become more and more reliant on the AI. No, his choice to completely avoid it is correct. I took have made the same decision.
@@donaldmickunas8552 I think you may have misunderstood. "Investigative experimentation" does not involve any use of the AI as a personal tool, and therefore there is no path to reliance. It's like, aquiring a device of any kind NOT to use it the way a person would normally use it, but rather, to mess with it and figure it out, like the Wright brothers taking apart all of their toys to see how they work.
If we not have a"Butlerian Jihad"with AI ok for me...
Thank you for your video and information _)
Just off the top of my head:
1) Is Red Hat still a thing?
2) When was the last time we heard from them?
3) Why would they not in the name of their IBM Masters not explore the in-vouge tasty tasty AI?
4)..... Let it filter out to the other RH-esque distros
5) PROFIT!
yes redhead is still a thing and it is highly used in cyber security. Also continues to develop fedora, it's just as stable as Linux Mint, if not more stable. The thing I don't like about it is that you have to upgrade every six months.
@@StarkSpartan Funny I thought they went 100% corpo, and basically kneecapped Fedora, and more to the crybabies CentOS. Not that these are also not a 'thing'. Just that they aren't what they used to be, and may as well be dead at this point.
Like with many things, AI, or superbot, or call it what you want, is a good servant but bad boss. It helps me to get relevant answers on many of my questions in a whim, even helps with coding or PC and similar issues. It isn't always accurate, one has to be cautious. And it is 5 seconds, not 5 minutes, as opposed to 20 minutes to write a code (if you are good at coding already). But I want to initiate its action, not it running in the background and potentially messing things up without my approval.
As you continue to use AI, it will suck you in and your dependence on it will grow. Just like any addiction or habit. Best to steer clear IMHO.
@@donaldmickunas8552 with enshitification of search engines, the bot gives a refreshingly relevant and fast answers on my questions. That's practical. I don't have a personal relationship with it, I don't even believe in god, to have a personal relationship with him. I am not that kind of person. Never tried heroin, to mess up with my brain, etc. Although I understand your concerns. Lonely Asians buy personal robots as a substitute for living partners. I can see the pitfalls.
Its "Level One Show" due to youtubes policies .
Level One Links with Friends :)
Apart from being horrible as it is, CSAM is going to be the excuse of cloud server companies to look through all your content stored there. And then they're going to train their AI, or sublicense to another company on your (not CASM) content. That's what the whole Adobe circus is really about, although Adobe denies it, although they've already been caught of providing AI generated content in their stock photos where you search for a style of an artists name and get hits, although the artist was never aware that their work was used for AI training.
musk also using AI it's called grok
I think of myself as a bit of an economic historian. The major trend with technology is that it concentrates wealth. New tech comes in, massively improves productivity. Producers can now lower prices and still increase their margins. This accrues more wealth to the society. However, the society will not demand enough additional stuff to keep up with the increased productivity, so many workers will get laid off. Those laid off workers are now competing for jobs in other areas of the labor market. Wages stagnate even as productivity increases. Eventually society adapts and new niches for employment open up. But this takes a much longer time to benefit everyone than anyone likes to thing.
We still have not caught up with the twin booms of the 80s. The first computer revolution in industry and outsourcing. AI is only going to accelerate this. It's true that a lot of the jobs people do today didn't exist in the 50s, but that's not really what's important. Quantity of labor input is much more important than variety of labor input. People on the left of the political spectrum like to blame Reaganomics, and that certainly didn't help; but much like Calvin Coolidge gets 0 credit for the economic boom and realignment enabled by fossil fuels in the 20s, Reagan should get no blame for making anyone poorer (though he did help the rich get a lot richer).
Luddite is an insult used against the technologically backward. But if we look at the original Luddites who destroyed automatic textile machines, they were right. It took 140 years for the average factory worker to earn as much purchasing power as a skilled weaver made even as "society" got undeniably wealthier.
There's something to be said about differentiating between technology that enhances workers and technology that replaces workers, but I'll refrain as this is already too long.
AI will replace the fast food worker, the assembly line worker, most manufacturing jobs. Man will be replaced in many areas now needed for the ability to manipulate objects. We need to make legal safeguards for the right to work to go around the corporations need to make a profit at our expense. Man needs to have work. Man needs to accomplish something. It is ingrained into our psyche . Hand made objects will gain in value.
Honestly, I see people losing jobs already, that's going to expand, as the number of people unable to find work increases there is going to be violence.
I don't think AI will soon replace fast food workers, assembly line workers or manufacturing jobs. If a job hasn't already been mechanised in the past 150 years, it is because it is very difficult to mechanise, or it is just cheaper to pay people low wages than to develop expensive robots. I worry that AI is increasingly going to be used in hiring, firing, instructing and monitoring workers. Instead of the promise of machines freeing us from the drudgery of work, we may end up in a world where machines don't work for people, but people work for the machines.
Braking Sad...😂😂😂😂
If anything happens i will ask terminator to help
Something moronic is that Elon's "X" platform has AI built in called Grok?? wierd name but anyway if he has AI then why is he so down on Apple for Chat GPT??
In A.I. We Trust 😅
Not!
Why can't AI like write code *and* it's logical Hoare correctness proof at the same time?
Because AI is not a deterministic logic machine, it is a probabilistic linear algebra machine.
Logic and proof systems were the goals of first generation AI in the 50's through 70's.
Expert systems in the 80's and 90's were the last gasp to make money with this approach.
none of the AI created is actually AI. It's just simply a puppet, it cannot create anything on its own that it has not previously been taught.
I missed the pasadice of sweet teats?!?! F@$#!!
amen
Me: (Googles "negative effects of AI")
Google: No results found 😊
Honest question can AI turn out a CMYK colour flow workspace in lees time than the actual GIMP Team? It's been what at a pinch 12 years now since GIMP 3 was announced. At this rate it should drop about the hundredth anniversary of the Bomb drop on Japan. ANC that's only if we're extra special Santa nice.
Open Sauce is nice, if your not on a time deadline, or so it seems.
If Gimp was a mainstream graphical design program going head to head with Photoshop, companies would devote money and resources towards it. There are open source projects like QGIS that do very well at this. Money and time flow into Debian because it is the backbone of much of the internet. Remember, all of these projects are businesses with a product to sell, even If they are giving it away.
@@K6ORJ Well if I were asked about it, and were to take a rational view of it. I'd call GIMP, not so much a Photoshop clone, but a clone of Coral Draw, that (much like Krita had), got co-opted as a photographic manipulation tool. I think looking back Coral Draw was able to do some of that basic editing too. But, it's been nearly 30 years since I used it last.
Preach it Brother!
When the fax machines started becoming popular/affordable around 1990 I was working for Federal Express (FedEx). The scare was we were going to lose our jobs.
I am the same as you, I reject AI from my personal day-to-day computing environment.
From my perspective, I have been working on computers for several decades now, I haven't needed to consider AI up to this point and I have built a successful career around computers without ever needing it.
I also rid myself of my Microsoft abuser when support for Windows 7 ended ended, I have never once considered purchasing any kind of Apple device and my privacy profile is very tight considering that I am just a (Gentoo) Linux, BSD and Lineage OS only user these days.
AI will ultimately offer the human race some great benefits (particularly in the medical arena) but it will also bring bad things as well - and, at the moment, it is being embraced by evil corporations because they see it as nothing more than a mechanism to greatly increase their profits by allowing more detailed data mining whilst saving money paying salaries by laying off their human workforce.
Imagine my disappointment when all these job losses are in the places where you are mostly thankful for. Example 20+ Lines for checkout, and only two, AT MOST THREE MAX are ever open. In my neck of the Woods it usualy more like 5 lines, of checkout, and there only the One line that runs all the way back to the other end of the store. Given the local culture is to knock your crap into your cart and move you on ASAP. I have no issues with replacing these poor benighted creatures with more self service checkouts assuming they can keep them working in the first place.
Not sure what this has to do with AI. I also like self serve checkouts myself, I don't like having to wait behind sloths at the checkout. That said some shops here have now started to take down the self checkouts and moving back to the old system because so many people used the self checkout to steal stuff with various means.
@@Bareego AI Took my Job! Lol Ok how smart is a McDonald's Kiosk? I don't know, but, because it's there, that's one less person you don't have to pay, or pray that they're responsible enough to show up. I suspect it's kind of the same thing with Checkouts you have those old skool boomers you should pay me to bag my own sh-- and then there's the rest of us with eyes asking why there are 50 lines at the Walmart, and basically only three of them are ever maned? Again probably not directly related to AI but it's not like AI can't be applied to monitor the local inventory.
They should make laws against AI replacing humans in workforce. Where AI can only assist humans in the workforce, not replace them.
lol other countries will surpass any country putting in such idiotic laws
@@AtticusDenzil are you really that dumb? there wont BE a country due to the economic collapse of AI replacing humans in workforce. It's already starting and is only going to get worse. If a company uses AI to replace it's workers, the population will have no money to buy from the companies providing "better" services/products.
@@AtticusDenzil No those countries will go bankrupt from UI and printing money. A matter of fact all countries who go this route will eventually go bankrupt. However of the USA contines down this path we wont recover because of our massivly stupid debt unlike the rest of the world.
@@AtticusDenzil did you read the whole comment? I'm not saying to ban AI in workplace, I'm saying AI should be used as a tool to assist the workload of the current workforce, not to replace. If all companies use AI to replace workforce that would lead to economic collapse. So other countries wont "surpass" any country doing this, they would collapse.
@@leet0Sshhhh, he's a "scholar and wise man of the riches" - probably - you know. One of those that they called anarcho-capitalists a decade ago. They can not comprehend what social and demographic collapse means. They can only count the Benjamins.
I work at a worker cooperative, so I don't care about it "taking jobs", I have capital. People who don't own land are screwed, because with AI land is the only real scarcity.
Many people 2000 years ago said that writing is net negative. That people would stop talking to each other. As Paul said the letter kills and Jesus refrained from writing a book. Yet Christians wrote some books behind Jesus back and started to worship it as "word of God", despite only Jesus being the Word of God. Now we all write all the time.
BT = British Telecom much?!
Rev 13:15-
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
AI must be regulated for sure. But it is here to stay and not using it at all will just leave those people way behind the progress. AI is helping already a lot in science and its great at analyzing huge amounts of data. But it can also, as everything else, be used for less moral or criminal tasks... Reg. use of AI in phones and home pc, we users are as before live stock that tech giants are feeding on, now with AI they can earn even more and get better controll of us. Don't like that progression at all of course.
Beside right now the I in AI have nothing to do with intelligence. :) Just wait 😭 until quantum computers will be used for AI, than it will be much more scary. That's why it is so important to establish rules and regulations for AI now...
"Ai has upended society for the worst" Hahahhahaha , yeah ok.
Also I do all my AI coding on my Linux system(s)
Nobody is forcing me anything on windows, it's all opt-in or can be easily switched off... So stop that bullshit.
It was on by default and novice users just go with default and to say that microsoft will do exactly they say, we'll have to see.
