This is a recipe for killing an industry:

"When OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm last year, it caught many power brokers in both Silicon Valley and Washington, DC, by surprise. The US government should now get advance warning of future AI breakthroughs involving large language models, the technology behind ChatGPT.

The Biden administration is preparing to use the Defense Production Act to compel tech companies to inform the government when they train an AI model using a significant amount of computing power. The rule could take effect as soon as next week.

AI is parasitic just like the rest of the software industry. It's also a fraud perpetrated by evil people against the gullible and against themselves.

Whether it finds what’s defined as misconduct (or not) is irrelevant. It’s dragnet surveillance: there are inevitably false positives ex picked up.

But also, isn’t this a sort of victimless crime? Or is she, herself, the victim? It’s unclear.

What isn't clear especially is how they know which of the students in the bathroom was vaping. You could maintain plausible deniability by just only going in between classes for instance.

It applies very much to end user desktops as well, with snap, flatpak, etc. working towards it. Lots of software requires dependencies that aren't compatible with each other and result in absolute dependency hell or even a broken install when you dare to have more than one version of something. Because who would ever need that, right? Especially not in a dev desktop environment...

Windows is basically all self-contained executables and the few times it isn't it's a complete mess with installing VC++ redistributables or the correct Java runtime or whatever that clueless users inevitably mess up.

We have the disk space, we have the memory, we have the broadband to download it all. Even more so on desktop than on some cheap VPS.

It should be noted though that flatpaks and related solutions are NOT equivalent to static linking. They do a lot more and serve a wildly different audience than something like Oasis. They are really much too extreme for non-GUI applications, and I would question the competence of anybody found running ordinary programs packaged in that manner.

I recognize that you probably weren't confused on this I'm just clarifying for others since the whole ecosystem can be a bit confusing.
