From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AI is massively wasting power that we need for electrifying transportation and more useful things.
There are many things more useful than AI, for example good internet search engines.
AI can be useful for dedicated things like being trained on relevant tutorials and documentation to help with Linux.
Too bad you can't centrally plan what people want to use power on. Only if you could would the world be a better place.
We can't imagine anything but unfettered capitalism, so onward we go to our own destruction!
