There is no point. There are billions of points, because there are billions of people, and that's the point.

You know that there are hundreds or thousands of reasonable uses of generative AI, whether it's customer support or template generation or brainstorming or the list goes on and on. Obviously you know that. So I'm not sure that you're asking a meaningful question. People are using a tool to solve various problems, but you don't see the point in that?

If your position is that they should use other tools to solve their problems, that's certainly a legitimate view and you could argue for it. But that's not what you wrote and I don't think that's what you feel.

From an advertising perspective, it's important to think about who you're targeting. Who are your likely customers? Certainly there are some based on the strengths that you raised.

However, some people are definitely not a good target audience, and some people is actually a very large group of people. There are a lot of current and potential users who essentially want the standard major applications to work, and they're not going to touch the root partition, and they want things to be very simple. For people like that, Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora already do what they want. And these major operating systems have been around for so long that people will naturally be more confident using them, because they were their friends have experience, or because they think the organization has more stability because of its experience.

Of course a lot of things depend on how you define words, but to me the above paragraph describes the mainstream audience, and I don't think you're going to have much luck reaching them, because I don't think the thing you're trying to sell gives them extra value. In other words, it's not solving a problem for them, so why should they care.

If you make a "no felons can be president" then you give state and local DAs the power to destroy someone's election chances. That's a dangerous proposition and I don't support it, because you know Texas would start fucking with every decent future left-wing candidate.

On the other hand, if you're suggesting that he should be behind bars already, and therefore ineligible for president on account of "he's locked the fuck up right now", I agree.

We did long ago. All of the prosecution for four years ago should have started 3.9 years ago, and it didn't, and that was an active choice by DOJ leadership and Joe Biden.

(And screw them for doing that.)

What you wrote in your first comment suggested that you didn't know the history, and what you wrote in this comment suggests that you still don't.

You have no idea what I prioritize, and you did a bad job of trolling, but if it makes you feel happy, keep doing it.

I wasn't trying to show her anything. Why would I? Why would anyone? You have really strange views on how people choose who to vote for.

It's interesting how your comment undercuts the message that it's trying to express. You got the vocabulary wrong. It was a good try though.

It's pretty fucked up if you accuse him of that without any real evidence. Do you have any?

(Many people agree that he likes to date young women and that's creepy, but it's not nearly as messed up as what you accused him of.)

You can bet that he feels he belongs in that cultural elite class, under the old and new standard (whatever those may be).

And I have no idea why he'd want that, but he is sure it's valuable.

With no social contract, Luigi will become the norm. Because why not? When you're at rock bottom there's no place to go except up.

Doesn't matter of it was automatic or scheduled. After this fucking tragedy began, they should have immediately halted the raises. Anyone with a conscience would.

I would speculate the opposite. I imagine he always believed this shit but was being politically correct (i.e., saying things to appease the public that he didn't actually believe in)... This is common enough in the tech sector.

(But if course you could be right. Only people who hang out with him would know.)
