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.

There was a post asking people their opinions about Edge and many people seemed to liked the idea of Edge and seemed to be ok having it on Linux (Blasphemy)

Also, can we all agree how fast Edge went from joke to a threat? I mean, it's good now alright! It was good back then, but it's better now. Money man!!! Money! Personally I hate MS, but I can't help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT and many features Bing offers on Linux.

If there is an open source ChatGPT how would it look? Who would bear the costs? How would we solve the server problem? i.e., it would take a ton of server space and bandwidth. Just wondering.

I am pretty sure MS products will improve greatly due to their integration with GPT what do us poor folks on Linux do?

Just want to know the answers, I don't want to discuss (aka can't comment, I need to study), but just curious!

KoboldAI has an "KoboldGPT" mode, which is for answering questions. You can try it at https://lite.koboldai.net/ or run it on your own.

Here's an example conversation I just had with it (emoji icons added):


🤖 Hello, I am KoboldGPT, your personal AI assistant. What would you like to know?

🧑 What is the name of the original version of the game Monopoly?

🤖 The original version of the game Monopoly is called "The Landlord's Game." It was created by Elizabeth Magie in the early 20th century. However, the most well-known version of Monopoly today is based on a variant called "Monopoly" that was designed by Charles Darrow in 1935.

🧑 Did "The Landlord's Game" have any purpose besides being a board game?

🤖 Yes, "The Landlord's Game" had a specific purpose beyond being a board game. Elizabeth Magie created it as a way to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. She believed that it could be used as a tool for teaching economic concepts such as rent, taxes, and the distribution of wealth.

🧑 What economic ideology was associated with this game?

🤖 Elizabeth Magie was influenced by Henry George's philosophy of Georgism. Georgists believe that land should belong to all people equally, and that taxation should be based on the value of land rather than on income or production.
