Seems like a reasonable demand.

Good, ban boomers too, then.

That’s monstrous. When I send a PDF I don’t want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I’d use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.

You just haven’t turned the current high enough.

No one’s saying they can’t also be dropped from a plane while strapped to a heavy weight. Planes are big, there’s room for CEOs and boards, and anyone else who promotes enshittification. 🤷‍♂️

That seems like an excellent idea, we should all make everything possible to make sure such AI overlords are built.

Please don’t hurt me, or an eventual future indistinguishable facsimile of myself…?

People don’t use Windows because it’s a “fantastic” OS for their needs. It very evidently is not “fantastic” (or anywhere close) for anyone’s needs but Microsoft’s. People use Windows because it comes bundled with their PCs due to Microsoft’s monopolistic malpractices, and because they can’t get bothered to figure out how to get rid of that bloatware / malware (or, they would get rid of it if possible, but are held hostage by the software — or malware, e.g., Adobe — they need to work only working on Windows, again due to said monopolistic malpractices).

In science fiction there’s sometimes a distinction between virtual intelligence (something that simulates intelligence but isn’t really intelligent) and actual artificial intelligence (something really intelligent but created through science and engineering instead of natural biological evolution).

Large language models would almost certainly be VI by those definitions, not AI.

A printer being stupid (and Xerox’s refusal to give him the source code so he could fix it) was precisely what led Stallman to start the open source software movement.
