I took an agricultural ecology class in college in the early 90s and the professor predicted this would happen. I'd talk to farmer relatives and they'd get all angry and tell me nobody can tell me what to do on my land. More recen

I hate how it's being pushed in my face so much. Any time you see such heavy marketing it's a red flag. > Let's ignore the potential job loss implications, and consuming AI-generated content/slop... LOL!

Jeez he never suggested that all ambient music was released or was popular for this reason, he just said that's what happened in that particular case. Give it a rest!

Interesting project! I notice the second step under the "First Run" header is "Launch the guided VM creation wizard". Can vm-curator be used to manage an existing QEMU/KVM setup?

His 2008 talk at the LongNow was even more timely: https://longnow.org/talks/02008-suarez/ . He wasn't worried so much about a strong-AI singularity but about weak AI that is used by the rich and powerful to
