That’s true, for me the main issue with any automation under capitalism is that it brings yet more power to the corpos and the billionaires and takes away power from the labor.

In this particular case it also sucks because the end product of genAI is soulless slop, and video genAI is quite a power hog. I agree that it’s ok for assisting developers/writers/artists/video editors in boring repetitive tasks.

I think LLMs are neat and useful tools in some circumstances. So I don’t hate “AI”, I hate the billionaires who are pushing it down our throats, or trying to replace us.

I fucking love me a proper snowy winter. Ideally the temperature should drop below -20 at least a couple times, for that crispy cold-bite feeling. Cross-country skiing, ice skating, winter hiking, or just doing a winter BBQ in the snow, sign me up

BTW Guix+Hurd, a fully GNU OS, has been around for quite a while now: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/a-hello-world-virtual-machine-running-the-hurd. You can even run it on real hardware: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2024/hurd-on-thinkpad/
