I would argue all of these things were possible sans “AI” (although it would have been sold as AI in the 90’s) via existing heuristics adequately developed if people knew that was the desired application

The backlash to this is going to be fun. Having lived through the .com boom/bust, which wasn’t a scam, the web was actually the future and was undersold if anything, no one with the stink of computer on them outside of a tiny elite could get decent fulltime work for like 5 years. AI is a scam, full stop. It has virtually no non-fraud real world applications that don’t reflect the underlying uselessness of the activity it can do. People are going to go full Butlerian Jihad from Dune when this blows up the economy, and it’s going to suck so much more for everyone in tech, scammer or no…

I’ve been on BTRFS for like 3 years now, and I use my main driver for linux gaming. It’s fine. The only downside with BTRFS I’ve seen is it can like, lose sanity if something goes wrong on dismount, and then it takes like 3+ extra mins per boot, but it seems to be able to work itself out after enough mount/dismounts, although I’ve read that can be permanent and then you need to blow away the whole volume or deal with it.
