Thank you for your understanding. And the trust you have put into the XCancel project.

> nuclear power needs at the end reliably cooling. Look at the rivers --- in Germany we had to stop nuclear power plants, because the summer drough was so intense that not enough cooling water was available. That happened several times in France, too.

I find it darkly humorous that a reason to not use nuclear power is the environmental devastation wrought by decades of not using nuclear power

LLMs lack real-life experience in the same way that humans lack real-quark experience.

Does only direct sensory input count, or does experience mediated through tools count? How much do you or I really know about the Oort Cloud?

What is truth, but defined by our sensory input? LLMs care about truth insofar as truth exists in their sensory input.

They also can be massaged for financial incentives when controlled by private corporations, which can result in prioritizing things other than truth, much like humans.

Can you prove those aren't true?

> humans tend to project meaning onto ambiguous outputs from systems they perceive as having special insight or authority

This applies just as well to other humans as it does AI. It's overly-broad to the point of meaninglessness.

The insight doesn't illuminate.

> you asked a question into a black box, received a symbolic-seeming response, evaluated its truth post hoc, and interpreted its relevance

So any and all human communication is divination in your book?

I think your point is pretty silly. You're falling into a common trap of starting with the premise "I don't like AI", and then working backwards from that to pontification.

There isn't anything objectively wrong with those. You can still derive a functioning society from selfish principles. I don't want to live in a society where I can just get murdered, so I am fine with outlawing murder.

This is philosophically valid, but also has the advantage of being how moral systems are actually constructed in practice.

Nix has been around since 2003, NixOS just takes that to its logical conclusion. cloud-init may have been inspired by it (I don't know), but certainly not the other way around.

By snarled mess of state, I don't just mean the way it works on first install, I mean the bundle of mud that imperatively managing a system inevitably turns into, with bits of this and that config left behind.

Try playing around with a few different window managers to feel the pain. NixOS makes it easy to try out new config and revert to the old config without muss or fuss.

Their answer to Nix is snaps, which will never be the right answer to anything. They're stuck in an old mode of thinking and missed the boat.

NixOS or something very much like it is the future. I personally won't go back to the snarled mess of state that is traditional distros like Ubuntu.

What a stupid take. Sorry to be blunt, but you need to be told that, because you should feel bad.

There's a reason for the quote "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company".

Replace "idiots" with "Nazis" for enlightenment.
