@nina_kali_nina openSUSE perhaps?

@SergiuDinIT What I have yet to see is a discussion of agents’ reliance on schema-less, non-deterministic api (not sure how else to describe natural-language based prompts), which is an even bigger problem when a single request involves orchestrating multiple agents. With these type of interfaces it is hard to do testing (esp. considering variability intrinsic to this type of “api”), hard to detect failures, and the responsibility/accountability for resulting errors is diffused; with most of the risk is shifted to whoever is being subjected to the output of such a system (I have a story about such a system being developed by a medical claim processor).

@SecondUniverse Historically “think of the children” rhetoric has been used to (attempt to) push through some of the most draconian legislation/surveillance technologies. These recent attempts to introduce age verification for kids certainly have the same energy; *personally* I don’t see them as anything else but a convenient excuse for snooping over a large chunk of the society.

@xgranade had a very similar conversation the other day too; only was able to somewhat shift my interlocutor’s position after pointing out they don’t own this “tool”, and they are at the mercy of fash/oligarch class who can (and will) start extracting rent at any moment.
