Now is a great time to give Linux a shot. I recommend Pop! OS.
No Linux distro has, as M$ hasn’t made their AIs open source. But there are people working on open source alternatives.
Ok that sounds awesome do you know any open source copilot projects by chance?
You really, really don’t need an AI assistant for regular computer usage. It’s a solution in search of a problem.
There are genuinely good reasons to use GitHub Copilot if you’re a developer, but otherwise, I think they’re way more trouble than they’re worth.
Theres paid ai … like this
https://github.com/KillianLucas/open-interpreter
Give commands to chatgpt in the the terminal. Then it executes it. It can generate files, etc as well. Using python iirc.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody. There’s no way it was going to be free and have no ads.
Edit: By the way, I don’t see many people talking about it but DALL-E 3 was stealthily launched in the new Bing chat update and it’s incredibly impressive. By far the best image generation AI in the market right now, and it probably won’t be free for long.
Do you think that the next step is product placement?
“Draw a rabbit wearing a top hat.”
Produces picture of rabbit, wearing a top hat, sipping a coke.
That would be hilariously evil, but I doubt they’d go that far. They’ll likely just put an ad in-between every prompt if they decide to go full greed.
Why not both? Why would their greed have a limit like that?
I could see this being a very interesting watermark - the free demo is sponsored by Coke, and all images will prominently feature the product. Upgrade to a paid/business/Enterprise account to get images without the product.
Given how many God-awful advertising patents have already been filed, I really can’t see anyone turning down this opportunity. The only reason against it would be a technological limitation- making sure the product isn’t featured alongside negative/toxic content. For instance, Hitler yelling at a bunch of homeless orphans (while holding a Coke)
It won’t be free for long. MS already announced that it will be moving to a paid service shortly.
Wonder if they’ll use the Hulu model of “pay us money and still see ads”…
Microsoft: the beatings will continue until morale improves
3rd party ads lead to the roulette wheel of malware injection. M$ can’t even keep the malware links off of their garbage MSN homepage on Edge. This would be an extremely dumb move, and they will do it anyway because it trades off security for money.
Microsoft will keep doing this shit until their monopoly is broken.
I don’t know why people are continuously surprised at MS doing scummy things when they pretty much control the market, have little to no competition, and regulators have proven they don’t care.
