Yeah but that applies to social media as well. Or, idk, amphetamine. Or fucking weed. Even meditation. Which are all still there, some more regulated than others. But that’s not what you’re getting at, your point is AI chatbots = bad and I just don’t agree with that.

So we know that in certain cases, using chatbots as a substitute for therapy can lead to increased suffering, increases risk of harm to self and others, and amplifies symptoms of certain diagnosis. Does this mean we know it couldn’t be helpful in certain cases? No. You ingested the exact same logic corpos have with LLMs, which is “just throw it at everything”, and you seem to not notice you apply it the same way they do.

We might have enough data at some point to assess what kinds of people could benefit from “chatbot therapy” or something along those lines. Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer we could provide more and better therapy/healthcare in general to people, and that we had less systemic issues for which therapy is just a bandage.

it’s worse than nothing

Yes, in total. But not necessarily in particular. That’s a big difference.

tl;dr AI companies are slowly running out of data to train their models; synthetic data is not a viable alternative.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but someone somewhere on YouTube suspected the next step for OpanAI and such would be to collect user data directly; recording conversations of users and using that data to train models further.

If I find the vid I will add a link here.

Locking privacy behind a paywall? Sounds like a nightmare.

That’s the real problem with end users.

The real problem with end users is that they buy according to whatever needs corpos inject via advertising.

My nitpicking or did I say the word massively isn’t really applicable here?

So, you wanna nitpick at that too? Fantastic

I mean we see the whole gamut here that stickman argument talking about things I never mentioned

There is no fucking way you aren’t just a troll. Because we’re on Lemmy I usually assume best intents, but all you have been doing so far is talking shit.

An improvement of 5-10 fps doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s like buying a newer gen graphics card, at least for some games. Or what you would achieve with a medium to substantial overclock. In this case it’s just the OS though. Just the software.

You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.

What else? Nitpicking at the use of words in news articles?

What I’m personally more skeptic about is the actual numbers. We don’t have benchmarks. We just have this one table that shows fps, and no 1% and 0.1%s.

Just an addition to all the long comments already here:

There are some games that don’t work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

It’s not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.

I’ve noticed that animations seem a bit smoother, but that’s hella anecdotal.

Yeah I noticed this too. Plus some recent update fixed my lawnchair, the app launch animations were kinda broken for a few months.

Calyx is not as degoogled as it claims to be (at least it wasn’t 2 years ago, see below). I know this is a bold claim, but the only ROM comparable with Graphene was DivestOS, which was a one human project and was dicontinued last year. And even Divest had the problem where updates were delayed by a few days or weeks.

Obligatory eylenburg link, and there’s this blogpost I like to link to. It’s written in German, but I’m sure it’s a good read if you put it through a translator.

Take this with a grain of salt since it’s been two years since this blogpost was published.

Here I deleted a whole paragraph in which I sounded like a Graphene elitist haha. I would say using CalyxOS is a lot better than stock Android or Lineage. Please don’t choose your OS based on vibes. If you need any of the features Graphene offers that others don’t, please use it (edit: like the protester mentioned in the article). If you don’t, don’t.

I agree, Graphene is not for everyone, and what you wrote is a perfectly fine opinion when it comes to privacy- and security-focused daily driver OS’s for smartphones. If you’re a protester or a journalist though, it’s all or nothing. There are no alternatives, no compromises that can be made. If you use a smartphone you are at risk, even if it’s a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

Graphene has decided to instead frame everything that isn’t a Pixel running Graphene as universally bad.

They did say on several occasions that they would support other phones if they weren’t locked down (Samsung) and commended the security of upcoming Mediatek and Qualcomm chips.

I mostly use them for really simple things like hovering the cursor over something to show a tooltip, or navigating menus in DRG and the inventory in Minecraft.

I realized how much I miss this hybrid approach when I had my 3 month long Genshin Impact phase. Genshin does support either Keyboard and Mouse or controller input, but not both at thw same time, and the menus suffer from mildly inconsistent UI and UX.

I think if you cut the player base roughly in half, the players that care for multiplayer titles which don’t work on Linux (yet) are also the ones not caring as much about touchpads; while the other half are a different kind of gamer who appreciates or even needs them.

In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.

In a perfect world, shit’s created without someone having to create it to make money. A market without middlemen is still a market.

Hell yeah Sauerbraten all the way

I’m on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).

Maybe the other guy here is right and it’s a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn’t really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.
