Honestly? Sure. The NATO shield will still exist so it doesn't affect the security of European countries much, and it only reduces American military influence abroad by reducing their capabilities to respond to events in the region, so what do we care? We should be investing more in defense regardles of whether the Americans pull out or not.

My personal experience has been frustrating each time. I've tried to switch over at least 3 times over the years, but I always gave up. This time, I installed Ubuntu and immediately had to spend 3 hours trying to get my Xbox controler dongle to work, but just couldn't do it. Found a driver online that people said would work, it didn't because it wasn't properly signed, tried to sign it but the signing app just didn't create the certificates needed. Gave up, I have Bluetooth so I'd live, though I'd rather use the dongle if I can.

I then immediately encounter another problem that couldn't be fixed (for the life of me I can't remember what it was exactly) and just gave up.

The previous time I tried it I remember that among other things, one of my main problems was the lack of clipboard history (which I use extremely often). I tried installing an app for it but all of them either didn't work or didn't work the way I want them to or I just didn't like their look and feel.

I also hate the font rendering on Linux, it always looks blurry compared to Windows, and the double titlebars most apps have (e.g. Discord, at least on Ubuntu), I like my screen real-estate.

Look at it in another way, people think this is the start of an actual AI revolution, as in full blown AGI or close to it or something very capable at least. Personally I don't think we're anywhere near something like that with the current technology, I think it's a dead end, but if there's even a small possibility of it being true, you want to invest early because the returns will be insane if it pans out. Full blown AGI would revolutionize everything, it would probably be the next industrial revolution after the internet.

Might be an unpopular take, but I'm not interested much in exploring in this case. I feel like the Doom Eternal gameplay was perfect for me - fast paced, fun and full of action with great visuals. Maybe I'm wrong and this turns out even better, but I feel like they nailed the formula with the last one.

Why do you think it's horrible? All of those are basically just bribes with extra steps.

Most drugs aren't that hard to produce

I mean, they are right. Asside the question of whether we can even make meaningfully better models by just using LLMs and more data and what the future of AI will look like, and whether it's ethical or not to steal the data, it is quite possible that OpenAI and the like will get into legal trouble because of the methods they use for acquiring data, but Chinese companies won't have to worry about that. If more data = better models then China has an obvious advantage.

I think it's actually Bing or Google, used to be just Bing. But the searches are anonymised and not tied to user profiles (as well as the ads), so I like it more since I'm at least not giving Google all of my data.

I too am relatively envious of the UK's outlet design, I only hate how bulky and foot destroying they are.

It doesn't seem to have a logo anymore (at least not when I open it)

This is approximately my daily commute (3.6 km but basically city centre)
