There are a whole lot of people (in tech) who truly hate AI and want nothing to do with it. Those people will flock to projects who take a stand against it.

This is straight up cult behavior. "You WILL assimilate or we WILL kill your project"

PopOS is not a product being sold by techbros trying to pump their stock like AI is, it's free open source software, it doesn't need to "outcompete" anything. If you don't like it, don't use it.


it isn't even me not liking it (I don't think about it at all frankly, I have nothing to like or dislike) - I think it's irresponsible policy. I won't be using something that doesn't accept automated security patches from defender AIs.


Okay, so don't use it. Again: it's an open source project, its maintainers don't owe you anything, nor is anyone claiming you have to use it.


I won't and I recommend anyone currently using it to reconsider due to the security posture the project necessarily and unfortunately has as a direct consequence of its policies.


They can't. Nor can OpenAI or Anthropic. If they could create real economic value using their models, they would. Replacing coders is the best they got. Or solving super niche mathematical conjectures.


To be fair, that's a huge cost reduction and economic boon.

And the labor potential of an individual coder has also jumped tremendously.

These two simultaneous effects will have a massive impact on economic productivity.

It's happening to graphics design, advertising and marketing, film and media, game design, and legal work too.

AI is here and is making big impact. It just isn't evenly distributed or fully capitalized upon yet. That'll happen in time.


> If they could create real economic value using their models

Whoa whoa WHOA! Replacing the C-suite is actually extremely economically valuable. They cause so much disruption and produce nothing but useless meetings and paper corpus. Getting rid of them would tremendously boost all of humanity's efficiency.


You mean stealing the chat logs of a researcher who was solving a niche mathematical conjecture, completing the last step and calling the whole thing their own.
