Well put

Just “sub” kinda works too

AI is pretty unique as far as technological innovation goes because of how it interacts with labour markets.

Most labour-saving technologies increase the productivity of labour, increasing its value, which generally makes ordinary people a little better off, for a time at least.

AI is different because instead of enhancing human labour, it competes with it, driving down the value of labour. This makes workers worse off.

This problem is of course unique to an economic system where workers must sell their labour to others.

What arcane blasphemy were you up to that required you to pentaboot 😭

Very good points.

This definitely can’t hurt and will probably help narrow it down, but it’s unlikely that OPs problem is hardware-related given that it doesn’t happen on Windows.

There’s a happy medium imo. Linux is enjoying a bit of a golden age at the moment because so many people are doing brilliant work making it usable and nice. But if the userbase becomes too large, tech companies will see their bottom lines affected, and it’ll be enshittified like everything else. And it’ll become a more attractive target for malware, of course.

And thank god it isn’t
