    Canonical should really wake up and stop thinking that rewriting in rust is a magical way to remove bugs.

    Sure the rust rewrite will surely be easier to maintain and less error prone (Assuming the code is idiomatic), but you can’t rewrite software maturity.

    They should put it behind a checkbox instead of shoving it down anyone’s throat. They are literally testing in prod


  • Personally I am a big fan of AI in multiple contexts, but the cons just out weight it completely. Although here some great things that can be done with it:

    • image upscaling. Upscaling algorithms are always a best guess and will blur a lot things. That’s where AI shines. It can make crisp edge, and if you keep it to 2x, the hallucinations are minimum. I personally use Waifu2x, it has been made before the AI boom, but always has been reliable.

    • Copilot. Not Microsoft’s “copilot”, but an ai acting as your copilot. Someone that reviews your stuff, give suggestions. You can do those suggestions or not, but that’s still rely on you to do them As an artist among non artists friends, not having anyone pointing out minor details or mistakes makes it hard to improve. With AI, you just throw your art at it and say “make it better”. The ai will give back an alternative version, and you can choose to add some detail it added. But you remain in control. There’s been an interesting talk about that in a blender conference that I cannot find back, but that illustrate it perfectly. I never actually used that technique, but if AI wasn’t so shitty I would.
