Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

I think people are just hoping it stays that way with Linux -- that we continue to have that personal control. I don't think the issue is necessarily AI itself, but what people might do with it. Good actors today may become bad actors tomorrow. Others are trusted as good actors but may not be. Or maybe the bad actors take advantage of the good ones.

That is a valid opinion, and perhaps I am being needlessly concerned.

My concern is that some people disrupt the community out of fear of new technology (See Do NOT include A.I. or A.R. in ANY of your distros). And they may see it as an opportunity to expand the community. I don't see malice in them and it would be an instinct for people to herd. But if we cannot curb our instincts, we will not be able to live as human beings. People caught up in fear are easily manipulated and make the community toxic.
