IMHO: Advertisment is another word for recommendation. While advertisment is seen as bad a recomendation isn’t.

So what advertisment never made happen is making themself usefull to the consumer. Most consumer want maybe a !!! usefull recommendation !!! but not someone trying to force you to buy a certain product.

So what was the time before ads … it never existet … even before tv radio had advertisment. Even back in this day people hated the advertisment and did music recordings cutting the advertisment and talking out.

Some old people might remember press record … press stop … rewind a little bit … and all of this.

The alternative was to pay alot of money for music …

@themurphy @rigatti There is one difference … LLM’s can’t be more efficient there is an inherent limitation to the technology.

In 2021 they used 200PB and they for sure didn’t make a copy of the complete internet. Now ask yourself if all this information without loosing informations can fit into a 1TB Model ?? ( Sidenote deepseek r1 is 404GB so not even 1TB ) … local llm’s usually < 16GB …

This technology has been and will be never able to 100% replicate the original informations.

It has a certain use ( Machine Learning has been used much longer already ) but not what people want it to be (imho).

My whole comment -> check out https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2020/11/check-out-linux-porter-ethan-lee-show-off-how-linux-games-are-built-and-packaged/ and the video in it.

PS: This guy really knows what he is talking. All of his linux ports are top notch and if needed he provides extremly fast updates. GLIBC updates breaking stuff ( which has happen once in alot of years) -> he got you

@TheBat @grue how do you define not working correctly ? …

the GFX Card booted
the GFX Card rendered the desktop
the GFX Card rendered Games

… the only issue it wasn’t as fast as possible …
-> solution on windows -> you report and get a new driver or you get a new driver cause you don’t know that you don’t have the max performance
-> solution on linux -> you report and get a new driver or you get a new driver cause you don’t know that you don’t have the max performance

^^^ where is the difference ?

@defaultusername @Dremor

That statement is to easy. It all depends on how much permissions you give the game and in what kind of environment you execute your game. From sandboxing to inmutable root file systems there is a lot possible to exactly prevent this to happen.

IMHO -> you wouldn’t need to write up such an article if people would think that AI adds an value to their life which is in replacable.

Example:
As of now AI is a big toy which you try to justify the use. A google search / fulltext search is much more efficient than using a AI Summary which you should by definition check after anyway.

You try to justify that we spending more electricity on a technology where we already have working solutions and will need those working solutions in the future too.

PS: I personally think the fundamental flaw in your article is that you define something can get replaced which is often not the case or you don’t compare it to the current most used solution. Example -> Most books aren’t printed anymore but only digitally published. The books which are printed needs to be printed as reference and to archive it long term or are printed for book lovers. So you can’t say there will be 3000W less because it’s not printed anymore.
