"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I just bought a new laptop for school as we are required to use windows. So thanks so much for this.
Have two partitions.
One for windows and school.
The other for your personal, which could be Linux.
Never link the two. If your school forces you to put a surveillance app on your computer (they'll call it something else like a login app), it wont transmit anything on the personal side.
Only if you use disc encryption for the personal partition. Otherwise the surveillance software under windows will still scan your linux partition while windows is runing
Do they not allow virtual machines?
Mine didn't.
I used one anyway. It worked fine.
Why would anybody ask?
Just do it.
If I was a as tech admin at a school, I wouldn't want any headaches and just tell people to use the software I gave them, no exceptions. Because I make half as much in salary as a as a private company, I can't handle doing tech support for edge cases.
