Air quality collapses. That's a new one. What exactly do they do to the air?

Gas turbines? Water vapor poisons the air now? Man, people living near oceans must be all dying from water vapor poisoning. Reminder that methane burns into H2O and CO2.

Chinabots are going really hard nowadays.

This is the other PRC sponsored talking point that is nonsensical. "They bring noise".

They have fans pointed upwards, and usually shielded with noise shields on the sides. As a result they emit far less noise than most industrial applications. Whatever noise they emit usually travels upwards, not sideways.

But crazy witch with 50 cats says that noise killed her latest litter. Tiktok said so, so it must be true.

Ive already heard legal blogs talking about how AI agents can’t have mens rea. An agent can’t purposefully, knowingly, recklessly, or negligently do anything because those simply don’t apply. It’s not even straightforward in the majority of cases to show how they even _can_ commit physical acts. So all crime is now legal for them.

You know what you sound like? Exactly the type of victim that Broadcom build most of their business model on.

Have you met young people that intentionally became Windows admins? Or the windows admins (the legitimate ones) you can hire out of, say, India? My guess is with your history, you probably have not.

No argument from me that you get dumb Unix admins as well.

I had a very important word in there: "most". You may want to think about the implication of that word for a singular case. You clearly need to improve your reading comprehension skills.

The cost for all the negative side-effects is already larger than any potential benefits can ever be.

Probably because people are stupid and inflexible. Well. Looks like Broadcom knows the idiots they are exploiting very well.

And yet, you could have, at really small costs, made sure all your infrastructure also runs on Proxmox. May even have saved you money in the process because things would have done cleaner and that always pays off. An ounce of preparation ...

Exactly. A small bit of foresight and preparation saves you a mountain of effort and cost later.

To be fair, most people working as Windows sysadmins would not have that job if they were smart and capable.

Indeed. Obviously MS does not want that question asked because the answer to it is pretty obvious: Windows adds cost and problems.

Funny how that goes, isn't it? The thing is propaganda is a lie. It targets emotions (here the feeling of being unsafe) and tries to amplify them and then bind them to something the propaganda-maker sells. Works the same for tooth-paste, cameras or Fascism: The aim is to bypass the rational assessment of things. And, sadly, it works on a _lot_ of people because generally speaking people cannot fact-check for shit in the first place and this emotional approach bypasses what small skills they may have in that area nicely. It also means that anybody using this approach is not a good person because things built on lies never work out.

Nope. What a disingenuous manipulation attempt to make this an emotional question. I have no feelings towards LLMs, but I can recognize a bad tool when I see one. There are tons of those out there, but usually they do not get pushed this hard and usually there are not so many stupid people that get on board with the hype. Hence this thing is dangerous.

Blender is not a highly experimental tool with mostly unknown characteristics. That is where the "not very smart" part comes in.
