Probably because it challenges the narrative of people who automatically hate all AI no matter what. I have even had colleagues argue with me that certain types of AI “aren’t actually AI” because they have too much pride and ego to admit they use the very thing they claim to hate.

I personally use AI to help me with my work. I used to work in an IT repair facility where I would use an LLM to help me troubleshoot problems. For example if a computer won’t turn on and the motherboard is flashing and beeping, asking an LLM is 10x faster than having to use the internet to hunt for a user manual of one specific model of computer from 40 years ago, made by a brand which no longer exists.

Now I work in Computer Games Development after getting my degree. AI is extremely useful for helping me come up with ideas, making prototypes, and even generating small amounts of code in C++ and C#, which is what I mainly use. Games Dev isn’t difficult. I can do it myself. But it can be very tedious. That’s why AI is so helpful.

As for what your little brother does, i’ve experienced that. People generating code and having no idea what it does. It might help you pass your subjects in school, but it’s only gonna screw you over in the long run.

I don’t mind people using AI to help them with their work as long as they don’t depend on it.

I’ve been a long time user and subscriber of ChatGPT plus. It has helped me tremendously and I probably wouldn’t be where I am without it.

I canceled mt subscription recently. I won’t continue to give money to ClosedAI. There are alternatives.

Sam Altman can burn in hell.

No.

What about using a VPN? (Yes, I know the UK government are talking about restricting/banning them too, though I highly doubt they’ll ban them outright)

I haven’t updated my main survival world since 1.19, but that really sucks for everyone else. Hopefully modders will find a way around it.

Hehe. It’s funny because it’s true.

I would have assumed this would apply to Bedrock and not Java since Bedrock is the one which uses Xbox live, whereas Java can be run completely offline.

What would happen if I ran Minecraft Java on my Linux computer with my internet disconnected?

Yeah. Before OneUI 8, you could set up a custom ROM on a Samsung phone too. Short of that you can disable google services. Use non google apps from F-Droid or Aurora Store. You can also use ADB to uninstall system-level APKs. Though the only way that I know of to fully de-google is to install a different OS.

Not all android spies on you. Have you ever tried GrapheneOS? It’s very secure and pro-privacy. Technically it’s not android (if you really want to nitpick), but you need a Google Pixel to run it.

That entirely depends on what you’re using it for. I personally use ZorinOS as my daily driver because it’s easy to use, based on Ubuntu, and I like the interface.

If you’re using the PC for gaming, go with Nobara. It’s based on Fedora and has built-in support for Nvidia.
