In fairness, the performance/size ratio for models like BERT still gives GPT-3/4 and even Llama a run for it's money. Their tech isn't as product-ized as OpenAI's, but Tensorflow and it's ilk have been an essen

...right. But AI did not invent the concept of automated email spam or wire fraud. I don't understand how this all relates to model jailbreaking.

Well... I kinda think it's the same problem? You have designed a system in error if you are trusting an AI system to handle that sorta thing. We have programmable logic to handle payments and emails and all the stuff that's actual

I think the preeminent issue is that AI is just not trustable for anything that matters. You cannot rely on an unaccountable stochastic model to handle important stuff like money.

You can render decorations server-side, it's just not guaranteed that the client will respect it. If you really want a Qubes-style SSD desktop, it's attainable in Wayland although it will look incredibly ugly and be highly redun

Probably so. Relative to PopOS, not many of them are quite as pre-customized (not that it's an inherently good or bad thing).

Wayland was never going to be fully Xorg compatible. It's not just that it would be a massive effort, but it conflicts with core Wayland concepts relating to isolation and security. If keystroke access and window properties were stil

The majority of people who choose to be child-free are doing just that - making a choice. Unless you are referring to the extreme minority of people who castrate or kill themselves to avoid conception, you're not actually describing pe

People who remain child-free their whole lives generally don't plan it to be that way. It's the sum of cumulative questions asked at multiple points in your life: "am I ready to raise children?" We aren't predesti

The main difference is probably that Linux has a dozen+ desktops and (even ideally) multiple desktop implementations to support. Windows has just one, and they update it continuously (not to say it works perfectly either). In the end, Windo

For mobile games, sure. For desktop titles, nothing has really changed. MacOS runs the same APIs, Apple still refuses to make compatibility promises, and older titles are perpetually phased-out of support unless they are constantly updated.

Privacy isn't achievable, at least not with American commodity hardware. The government works quite hard to ensure the NSA, CIA and FIVE-EYES are well-fed.

Exactly. Game Porting Toolkit is an awesome showing, but the intention is in the name; it's not a compatibility layer, it's a porting tool. Eventually it will go away, and you'll be stuck with the same Mojave/Catalina-st

Maybe that would be an apt analogy if you didn't agree to an EULA limiting OpenAI's liability as terms of using their service. Your only path of recourse as their customer is leaving the platform.
