Will 2026 truly be the real year of Linux gaming on the desktop? Perhaps! And now even GOG are hiring towards building up their Linux support for GOG Galaxy.
We already knew that GOG were going to be looking more seriously at Linux, as covered here previously on GamingOnLinux. However, they’re going a step further as noted in their job listing on how “Linux is the next major frontier”.
Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.
Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.
What’s the opposite of a Luddite? Hey, if you enjoy bending over and letting techbros do with you what they will, don’t expect me to provide any lube. Now run along and ask ChatGPT how you should feel about this response.
Anti AI arguments are always good for a laugh. I enjoy using the best tools for my job. Sometimes the best tool for software development is AI. Sometimes AI does a bad job and other tools work best. What does that make me? A software developer, I suppose.
I’m not arguing that using AI makes me a software developer. I’m saying that as a software developer, I seek to use the best tools for the job, just like any other job.
So artists, wanting to use what you describe as the best tool for the job, should just use AI? How even is AI the best tool? This is an inane and pointless argument with a drug addict defending heroin.
If it’s the best tool then why is there so much push back from developers? Are they wrong and for some reason people like you are right? Is it not causing layoffs in that sector?
There’s no push back from the developers at my company or the developers that I interact with. We have been embracing it for the use cases that AI is good at. There is lots of manual effort that us software developers don’t like doing that AI automates easily. I believe the mass layoffs that companies are doing are using AI as a convenient excuse in uncertain economic conditions.
If making art is the process of getting something inspired in your head into the physical world, then it would make one an artist. AI would be a tool to achieve that.
Many people still don’t consider digital artists to be artists because they use tools that make it easier than physical art.
AI Bros are always good for a laugh. They can’t point to any industry successes, pretend massive industry failures like Microsoft don’t count, and generally trust their own feelings over facts.
I don’t need to prove anything, but mostly, your issue seems to be that you think a shitty in-painting image model has anything to do with the usefulness of something like Github Co-Pilot.
If you don’t understand something it’s ok not to have the edgy opinion on it by default.

Sounds like a regular software development job where instead of being a Luddite, people use the latest technology for the job.
Luddites didn’t fear technology, they feared for the commoditisation of manual labour and they were dead on right as pauperism followed.
Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.
Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.
Waiting for this comment lmao

Yeah and typing “make a picture of a hot dog” into a text field makes one an artist…

I never said anything about artists. I don’t think AI has much use in artistic endeavors. I’m talking about a software development job.

Is that what art is? Who doesn’t consider digital artists to be artists? Point some out.
Here’s one

Can I take a guess that you are not currently employed in the software development industry?
There you go, predictably making more baseless claims. If these things are supposedly so great, prove it.
And how did you hallucinate a misspelling in my comment? Maybe take a break from Elon’s CSAM bot for a while.
Because I typed it.

If you think you’re immune to that, you’re an idiot.

Oof. I may never recover from this one.
