Codeberg doesn't allow inactive projects or non FOSS projects afaik
Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:
Everything can be used for that. If anything, I believe AI models are too restricted and tend not to argue on controversial subjects, which prevents you from learning anything. Censorship sucks
They are a massive privacy risk:
I do agree on this, but at this point everyone uses instagram, snapchat, discord and whatever to share their DMs which are probably being sniffed by the NSA and used by companies for profiling. People are never going to change.
Ai is literally making people dumber: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/lee_2025_ai_critical_thinking_survey.pdf
We surveyed 319 knowledge workers who use GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) at work at least once per week, to model how they enact critical thinking when using GenAI tools, and how GenAI affects their perceived effort of thinking critically. Analysing 936 real-world GenAI tool use examples our participants shared, we find that knowledge workers engage in critical thinking primarily to ensure the quality of their work, e.g. by verifying outputs against external sources. Moreover, while GenAI can improve worker efficiency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort. When using GenAI tools, the effort invested in critical thinking shifts from information gathering to information verification; from problem-solving to AI response integration; and from task execution to task stewardship. Knowledge workers face new challenges in critical thinking as they incorporate GenAI into their knowledge workflows. To that end, our work suggests that GenAI tools need to be designed to support knowledge workers’ critical thinking by addressing their awareness, motivation, and ability barriers.
I would not say "can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving" equals to "literally making people dumber". A sample size of 319 isn't really representative anyways, and they mainly had a sample of a specific type of people. People switch from searching to verifying, which doesn't sound too bad if done correctly. They associate critical thinking with verifying everything ("Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort"), not sure I agree on this.
This study is also only aimed at people working instead of regular use. I personally discovered so many things with GenAI, and know to always question what the model says when it comes to specific topics or questions, because they tend to hallucinate. You could also say internet made people dumber, but those who know how to use it will be smarter.

They had to write an essay in 20 minutes... obviously most people would just generate the whole thing and fix little problems here and there, but if you have to think less because you're just fixing stuff instead on inventing.. well yea, you use your brain less. Doesn't make you dumb? It's a bit like saying paying by card makes you dumber because you use less of your brain compared to paying in cash because you have to count how much you need to give, and how much you need to get back.
Yes, if you get helped by a tool or someone, it will be less intensive for your brain. Who would have thought?!
isn't it an issue with flatpaks requiring some permissions that aren't enabled by default?
You should try using Flatseal https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal to check the permissions
I do not use much my computer, therefore, I better set it on mining rather than collecting dust.
That's pretty dumb. Just makes it worse ecologically
PoS tends to continually centralize power. End of story. There is no situation where PoS does not ultimately fully centralize.
Well yes and no... all your incomes will be the same proportionally. Now if the economy develops and the leaders continue to stake, then increasing your percentage will require more funds, but it is the same for them. Pretty fair game imo. Pretty sure things like the stocks market give higher rewards anyways, so you will be able to beat the leader if you really want to
Nano uses ORV so no PoS, and it seems pretty cool. Not sure that it is applicable to Monero though
Didn't know FBA but it seems relatively centralized. Having to get approved to join will create elite circles and opens up the possibility of bad behavior. I feel like the possibility of a Sybil attack is pretty high if you manage to sneak past the trust chain. The weakest thing in security is the human, and FBA seems to nearly only rely on it
Frankly, I feel like PoS or ORV are a lot easier to catch bad actors, and anyone can properly vote, instead of node owners only
Where do you get this from?
