People like that aren't asking for advice, they have already decided and want validation/permission for the choice they already made.

Who in their right mind is exposing them directly to the internet? Poorly configured routers to blame here I assume?

Their areas of expertise and research are not areas that offer insight into mechanisms of cognition, they are not a neurobiologist or a computer scientist involved in machine learning. Their high standing in related areas is being used to give credence to an argument that is no better than a gut feeling.

You also have no ideas what conflicts of interest exist here, there may be none or the professor could be heavily invested in LLM companies.

LLMs dont think and the "trains of thought" is just strapping a bunch of LLMs together to try and tidy up and correct if one of the models in the chain outputs nonsense which they are wont to do. They are useful tools, they don't spontaneously generate output or request input. It's a very complicated auto complete that is capable of generating plausible valid output (when considered by humans) to a given natural language input.

Click bait nonsense based on what a psychiatrist feels. It's not even possible to make this determination because LLMs don't think and have no agency and we don't fully understand how humans think to compare against if they did.

If it keeps newcomers from making mistakes in client choice it looks like a good thing to me?

What these articles never say is how many hallucinated bugs the LLM found that either weren't real or were actually exploitable. The LLM didn't find these with any confidence it highlighted areas of interest that actual security researchers then needed to investigate and confirm or rule out.

I think this should have been anticipated after the license change.

That was a long winded way of saying you don't know what Jellyfin actually is or does. Mpv is a client, it only fills the role that the various Jellyfin clients perform and a better comparison would be against a heavier weight media player such as Kodi.

What you suggest works well enough if you have a reliable network link to share CIFS or NFS over, but what do you do when away from home on a rubbish link that doesn't have bandwidth to stream all your high quality bluray rips? You want transcoding in that situation.

Also, I'm a seasoned Unix sysadmin who knows his way around the cli and I can say with certainty this isn't for people who know the cli, it's for people who just want to prove you can do anything from the cli even if suboptimal.

This disclosure has been rushed for the views and hype IMO, none of the big distros had fixes ready to go on this this morning.

I don't see this as rotten behaviour at all, I see it as a Bobby tables moment teaching an organisation relying on a technology that they better have a their ducks in a row.

There is a significant difference between AI assisted and AI produced from what I've seen and experienced so far.

Assisted takes generated code and uses it to inform the code actually written, letting it fulfill a boiler plate function or the place of a junior coder at worst.

Then there are those project committing the AI produced code largely unreviewed and unchanged.

Former is mostly fine but needs an experienced coder who trained writing code unassisted (where are new coders of that caliber going to come from now?), the latter is a morasse of slop.

Worse is that it likely won't be able to distinguish between intentionally titilating material and material intended to educate. Only over 18 are allowed to learn about human physiology after submitting identifying information.

We've got years of data showing they are safe at this point and given the massive deployment, serious issues would have become apparent by now.

All found with some AI assistance and a lot of human expertise sifting through the hallucinations to work out the actually exploutable stuff. And the AI bug apocalypse has turned up a whole 4 bugs serious bugs so far, ooo scary. I'm still waiting to be impressed.

Title is a misnomer, at no point was his life at risk because the ball never had enough energy to reach him on the swing back... Which of course was the point of the demonstration.

I can see her managing a presidential speech given how low the bar has been set recently.

What advice do you expect from a Linux discussion group? I suggest you do what you feel is right for a subjective decision like this, all hearing other people's opinions will do is confirm your feelings.

While I'm sure usenet us all you say it is and more, I object at a philosophical level to paying for what is essentially a piracy service.

Most people who have died or have been incapacitated since covid had it happen after they were vaccinated since most people got vaccinated. Most people also die or get incapacitated after drinking some water, maybe you should also become a water skeptic?

I personally manage my services using ansible, I only set up the actual infrastructure, the virtual machines that run the services, with terraform/opentofu. Docker is one of those in the middle tech between infrastructure and software distribution and it makes more sense to me to treat a service as a role in ansible do I can deploy it (docker, podman package install or whatever), sort it's networking and handle it's configuration all in one place. I'm not saying the way you do it is wrong, but this is just a step down the automation rabbit hole.

It doesn't appear your setup provisions the actual hosts for docker so I guess you are provisioning manually for that layer? That is another area you might want to leverage opentofu for?

Also congrats on actually documenting it in a consumable way for others to learn from.
