also when it becomes an issue is influenced by how accurate it is, how overused it feels, and (obviously) if it was made with the intent to insult

they still have the lead, here are some screenshots from notebookcheck

The most recent failure was when everyone was making fun of google search ai for a month because it was quoting blatantly wrong reddit users (who were often joking about something, and it took them seriously)

Generally I think what companies do nowadays for normal models (not the searching a knowledge base thing that Google was doing) is they train a model on basically everything and then bring it into a tuning stage with just approved texts to improve it, and then a human feedback tuning stage to improve it more

Not yet, I think. They're still too small from what I've heard to be useful for really anything at all, but they are improving and will likely start to be useful in the next 10 years or so

And then I press the mute button on the side on accident and everyone really gets mad at me

If space efficiency is a priority, I would say just take a normal restroom, add better locks, stall walls that actually go the full height and all of the way to the ground, and have a urinal section around a corner so that it is fully out of view from the (security camera monitored) common area where the sinks are

I would never use MacOS myself but I get the 'it just works' aspect and the crazy energy efficiency of Apple's hardware, also some tech youtubers I respect like Jeff Geerling and JDH use it

Now, iOS on the other hand... (I was seeing if a family member's ipad would work as a drawing tablet for Blender recently using the Moonlight app (which actually supports pressure sensitivity btw), but USB streaming doesn't work because apple ties that to its hotspot and therefore having cellular, and the 3rd party apps are all removed from the app store, its just so stupid that I have the ipad and the cable and yet I can only transfer data over wifi)

honestly if I heard someone say "I technically have linux with me right now" I would expect them to pull out an Android phone and say that Android is based on the Linux kernel (it is, its just not what anyone means when they say 'linux', its a pretty good example of how 'linux' refers to the OS and not the kernel)

Did they make money? obviously not.

Will it help them make money in the future? nobody knows. Probably not as much as it could have, we'll have to wait and see.

I know a lot of people are fine with a paid plan, I've just seen what has happened to some projects like Fusion 360 where they slowly take away more and more features from the free version, slowly decrease support, and all new features go to the pro version. I would be surprised if this happens to ubuntu, but I don't want to take that chance.

You're acting like there isn't another option. I could just go use Arch with KDE Plasma or something instead, or maybe Fedora which is at least somewhat separated from the 'pro version' (red hat)

Out of all of the projects that I can think of in recent memory that started as big open source useful things, only VLC Media Player managed to avoid turning into garbage, and it’s because the lead developer is a saint.

the Linux Kernel, Blender, Godot, Lemmy are some examples that come to mind, or maybe I'm just not understanding what you're trying to say here

I'm never going to feel fully satisfied using an OS that has an official 'pro' version.

MacOS!
