Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement (www.tomshardware.com)

I have downloaded my own LLM that can be used on my own computer... So the only cost is electricity since I upgraded my computer before the prices went to shit. Newegg even gave me free RAM with the purchase of a motherboard so I lucked out on that. Storage is not an issue too since I got that back in 2024 knowing Trump would fuck everything up.

And no, people might not respond the same way to my work, but then again I'm not taking any work away from anyone else because then it would not even exist. If you want to fund me and the artist for our work, then okay. Show me the money.

One thing I've noticed is that I see many more people complain about slop than slop itself. It's so annoying at this point that's it's making me go in the opposite direction. Hey everyone, slop here... Microsoft slop here... Use Linux Linux Linux. Slop slop slop. Sloppy joes. It's like candlestick makers complaining to Nikola Tesla.

Another great example of how AI is just wreaking havoc on people's brains.

  • Wants to show an enticing product to execs, doesn't want to invest in paying an artist
  • realizes they have to have connections but doesn't want to network
  • wants recognition of their hard work, hasn't sought out a community or collaboration but states "show me the money"

AI will fix everything for me! Slop doesn't exist! (ignores the very article we're in, any platform algorithm feed, the us president shit posting, all the slop that gets presented here). Go get em Nik, don't let haters stop your brilliance.

A very extreme takeaway, but okay.

May I ask how many B parameters does it have? Because the paradox over here is:

  1. if it is weak then you will be getting much much worse results than even the Big Models the corpos have (we don't even know how much tbh), let alone the quality of an actual artist.
  2. If you have a respectfully powerful model then your PC might cost thousands of dollars (even by ignoring the price hikes) which eliminates the excuse to pay an actual artist.
